MEW Streamers & Content Creators (Twitch, YouTube, FB Gaming)

Absolutely! That’s what it’s for. Post your links and I’ll update the OP with your details too.

And the offer is open to anyone else who wants to be added too - I know of at least 2 other YouTubers who have channels. I will (eventually) get round to creating that directory type post for the main site as well.

So the Twitch:Streamer split remains the same, but the Streamer gets potentially less if the subscription is bought in a Local Sub Pricing place because the relative value of a SA sub is now significantly lower? Is the assumption that with SA viewers now only having to pay R34 for a sub and not the R98-odd we were paying in USD, that a lot more SA viewers will subscribe?

Yup, apparently.

Those lower prices will mean less money for streamers, but Twitch believes they’ll translate to more subscribers and higher earnings in the long run.

Found this also that they doing an incentive thing

But Twitch is also preparing for a potential scenario where streamers could see their revenue fall as a result of the price changes, because streamers will need more subscribers — potentially a lot more — just to match their current earnings. If a streamer’s revenue falls below their usual baseline (which Twitch calculates for every streamer) after the localized prices roll out, Twitch will pay that streamer a “revenue adjustment incentive” to help make up the difference.

Twitch will cover 100% of baseline channel and Prime sub revenue (if needed) for three calendar months, including the month of the price change. After that, we will slowly decrease incentive payments by 25% every three months over the following 9 months, totaling a 12-month period of providing revenue adjustment incentives.

Still weird issues with new YouTube embeds, especially for channels that I can’t figure out how to fix, but your link is up in the OP.

Everyone go Like and Subscribe to @TechThief and see him shoot a helicopter out of the sky!

Not sure where to post this but big moves happening. Timethetetman moved to YouTube and playing with The Doc, almost 200k between them. Very interesting. Busy researching if there was a reason.

DrLupo as well! Missed that.

Twitch haemorrhaging some big names. With all the nonsense on Twitch recently - hot tubs and hate raids - is YouTube looking to be the place to stream to?

When I start streaming again, I wouldn’t be against moving.

So, we have been playing some DnD lately, and I thought I would stream a session for fun. Terribly amateurish, but if you have NOTHING better to do, pop in.

I had nothing better to do, for 15 minutes :grinning: The “slightly Asian looking” lost tourist fellow (Two Flower?) needs a refund from his wizard, and needs to have his gold liberated from that fancy walking bag of his :smiley:

I have quickly realised a few things last night:

  • every 3rd message is a bot advertising porn in the chat… I feel flattered that they think I have enough viewers to warrant getting spammed.
  • DnD is very much like cricket. It is terrible to watch someone else play, but a ton of fun to play yourself!

I think I will rather just clip a few scenes next time and then upload the highlights.

The best summary. I have great memories of high school DnD sessions, like when our dwarf tried to jump a chasm and came up… short. Or the idiot wizard that couldn’t spell (see the pun?). He made terrible notes in his notpad, and fucked up every third spell or so.

Our funniest moment was when a group of bandits were in a temple excavation, and Lettuce threw a cat into the pit to distract the bandits. Just writing it here makes me realise “you should have been there.”

My character descrioption:

Lettuce Nutdwar (Nutdwar means NOT DWARF in dwarvish) is a 6’ human ranger, who was orphaned when goblins attacked his village. The young babe was adopted by the dwarven city of Sundabar. He was always left to believe he is a dwarf, when, in fact, he was the tallest dwarf in history by the time he was 10 years old.

At 16 he joined the city watch where his keen investigative skills assisted him in tracking down vicious criminals such as the Apple Pie Nabber and Lost Me Marbles Miriam. Lettuce was great at his job, but was never trusted with real big cases.

Eventually Lettuce outgrew all his peers not only in size, but also in patience. His heart ached for his true passion: farming! His dream to become a carrot farmer is the reason for his name. In a cruel twist his name reminded him of this lost dream every day.

The dwarves were not bad people, they just always knew Lettuce was an outsider, even though nobody ever told him that. So Lettuce decided to leave, and venture out into the world to find his perfect plot of land for his carrot farm.

It honestly wasn’t terrible at all. I meant to watch for a few mins to give you a view (not that you needed it what with all the bots spamming kak. You’d think that YT would have the ability to do something about it, but…) and landed up watching for almost an hour. The biggest issue was missing the first part of your expedition, so not knowing enough about the story, characters, environment, and scenario meant I was filling in the blanks along the way. I honestly think if I was watching or following along from the beginning it would make fine watching.

I reckon you should keep steaming them really for your own notes and records, so that you can look back at it in the future. Put together a series of edited shorts to summarise that weeks action, for the casual viewers, and maybe a compilation of them at the end, but keep your full play sessions for yourselves.
