Okay, this is a massive letdown. I will read a few more chapters, but it will most likely drop.

Come on, author! If you want to do 'humans were evil all along,' at least try to develop the monsters further than just game NPCs.
The translations for the streaming comments are lacklusting. They are writing in typical japanese netizens style, haft joking half serious, and mostly for fun. So the whole scene is for comedic effects.

Will watch any stream Alice does. But how is everyone able to see her? If she is a Vampire then her reflection won't appear, right? Or is she a half breed?

I have very low trust in this story specifically because it follows one of the two basic scenarios for poorly written stories where main character teams up with a monster, either with no one being truly evil or with the humans being evil all along. I said I would read a few more chapters to see if the author develops the monster further, but it’s most likely a lost cause. Additionally, the whole premise with streams is pretty moronic as itself and undermines any chance of taking this story seriously.
well i guess that the focus will be the comedy so i can understand a little why you woudn't like since stories like this usually doesn't care much about details

Let it be known, humans are the worst monsters. :D Nothing else can scare you once you arm yourself with this knowledge, because we're the ones creating other monsters. Usually. So if we can make them, we can un-make them. :D

Vampires being invisible is due to silver/mercury being their weakness. Modern cameras and technology doesn't use silver/Mercury so it wouldn't have that issue

Or at least that's my theory.

let the author cook it is still chapter 2, maybe high level monster have intelligence like the vampire girl so in the end humans aren't in the right but i also woudn't say that they are evil, this is more of a streamer type of thing
Someone last chapter said the monsters have a city and civ of their own, so there is def cooking going on somewhere

I think your first mistake was taking this story seriously to begin with. Pretty sure this is going for the parody/gag manga route. I mean, we are only two chapters in, but that still feel like what it's going for; serious events, followed by comedic reactions in the stream comments. The author is riffing on the sort of detachment people often display when it comes to human suffering being livestreamed, and having her, an outsider, react appropriately. This has the same energy as "do you think God stays in heaven because he's afraid of what he created?"

Also, the comments in the manga seem to indicate this party, specifically, have been acting cruel to monsters. Basically, they may have had this coming.

This does not imply humans are evil just weirdoes

This, plus the "humans are the real monsters" trope has been common in fantasy and sci-fi stories for centuries, at least. And it pops up all the time in isekai manga in particular.

Getting it out of the way early on and playing with it like this are good moves for a comedy/parody story to take.

Another humans are the ‘real’ bad guys story. Looked interesting in the first chapter but this is already heavily disappointing. Will look into the couple next chapters, but I already am reading enough good manga to waste my time.

Alicia just accidentally opened a brand new world for her audience.
