Reddit is a better barometer of community feedback. The community is modded correctly and only the most sensible constructive threads that actually help improve the game rise to the top and become more visible
Whilst I agree with some posts and comments here and there are some excellent feedback from knowledgeable individuals but the bungie forums are largely filled with people who want to either talk shit about this game(even tho they aren't playing or have never played), cry their favourite crutch weapon has been nerfed, and complain about pretty much everything.
The problem with the bungie forums is whilst they do listen to our feedback it's hard for them to gauge where the community's actual desires lie.
Why? Because we as a community communicate in aggregate, as a collective, and with all the shitposting that goes on here it creates a lot of white noise, and it's harder for them to hear the the actual problems we have with the game and our sensible suggestions for improvement.
So many people want things to change to suit themselves so they can play the game the way they want without considering that there are millions of people playing that all want something different, bungie has a hard job trying to satisfy the needs of everyone and they have to land their 'product' somewhere in the middle to keep the majority of their player base happy.
Streamers do offer feedback direct to deej but deej doesn't make this game he passes on that feedback to the producers and they work out if that's something they want to include.
They don't listen to streamers all the time. Datto wanted even harder raids, ms5000watts wanted an exotic that could only be obtained by going flawless in trials and bungie didn't put that in the game because they only appealed to the hardcore streamers that play the game for a living, essentially locking out much of the game from the casual gamer that probably makes up 80% of the player base. Streamers(partnered)only represent 0.001% of the community and the vocal members who frequent the reddit forums and here on bungie represent about 1%.
