Trying to wrap my head around it

What exactly is Trollcoin doing on the Twitch platform? Twitch is huge, but I never heared of Trollcoin before.. Sounds a bit like a memecoin just as DOGE is?
You are right in the sense that Trollcoin IS a memecoin. We've been working on a whitepaper since 2014 (perfection takes time) and once it's released it will clear up many questions people have.
Trollcoin services platform for Twitch brings the decentralized power of 100% money ownership (as with any true cryptocurrency) to Twitch. Sure you can send bits or subscribe on Twitch, but those are one way streets from viewer to broadcaster & Twitch takes about 50% of what is sent. There's certainly nothing wrong with that, Twitch has to make money somehow & we are not looking to compete with their tipping services, rather add to the ecosystem by giving every Twitch user the option of free flowing money. User to user, back & forth, out of your Twitch wallet & onto an exchange or your Desktop $troll wallet and vice versa.
In addition to this we are also working on a storefront that integrates your Twitch account via SSO (Single Sign On), meaning the Trolls you earn on Twitch can be instantly spent at the store. No transferring, opening accounts etc.
Then there's the troll aspect. Twitch has a vibrant troll community & we are tapping into it. Tipping someone because they got you with a good troll is what Trollcoin is all about & we are building a community of like-minded broadcasters & viewers that understand the value & loyalty of good-natured trolls. There are more of us than one might think, we've just been, IMO, shamed into silence by the snowflake generation. I personally invite & challenge viewers to troll me when I broadcast every Monday night & there have been some good ones! Been doing this since 2013 by the way.. getting trolled on Twitch may momentarily take away from what I'm doing, but the entertainment factor is priceless, well worth a good $troll tip!

The challenge we face is growth. The $troll economy is still rather small, but we are having fun with it as it grows. Join us!
