Please, understand that your "outlook" should be informed by a lot more than just Harris' opinions. He's a great person, and wildly talented, but again he is one of the people affected most by this.
But he also only streams on YouTube now so he's not that affected by it
And, based on your statements from earlier, Twich may have to react to metrics (like lower viewing hours, which means lower ad rev) to change rev split to keep the platform running.
But I could also force more large streamers to move on to different platforms if they're making less money on Twitch.
Well that's hope so, I don't want twitch to fail to be clear. I remember Justin.tv back in the day

Go for it
@ChronicMayhem Sorry, I was being a bit snarky. Hope I didn't upset you.

Naw it's cool no worries
The one thing about Harris, and I utilize his stream beats and everything, is that he makes a lot more views on his videos trashing twitch then his videos talking for it. I think he is more focused on making the money on his large youtube channel now anywho. Also kudos for him since he can lol

Would suck if they have the same DMCA policy on streams where all revenue on that video goes to them /owner tho. Somethings like end credit music aren’t malicious at all and I like that twitch just mutes it.
Exactly, muting 6 mins tends not to hurt too much. Plus turns out they're not that bad with appeals, I appealed a mute on some copyright-free music (some ass had sampled Roy Knox's Lost in Sound in their music and then tried to copyright their track) and they have unmuted the highlight of the VOD

Honestly if they remove exclusivity and then change the split you may make a lot more. My least favorite thing is exclusivity. Not that I’m a partner but it is also on affiliate. So you can’t multistream to YouTube because your content belongs to twitch and has to be exclusive to twitch the first 24 hours. So this could open up a hefty market or partnership between the two. I mean both Amazon and Alphabet stocks are getting hit hard.

The thing about the split is that it's very possible that they change it to favor them even more, instead of the streamers.

That's exactly what they're doing, but the original cut was 70/30 in favor of the streamer. Understanding that all costs are going up, but especially energy costs, it only makes sense for Twitch to renegotiate the split. Streamers need something in return, though, and I'm not sure removing exclusivity is enough.
Shanecus... At this point we'd be paying them to be able to stream on Twitch.
This is a bridge too far, though.
@Thercio 
Thanks

You and me both
I think it's the worst part for everyone, which is why we all call it "The Grind"
YouTube and Facebook also have their respective grinds. Longest time for people to hit affiliate often comes from the “if I’m live longer I’ll get move views” So you could have 10 viewers for an hour feeling you had a great stream but also have streamed 10 hours to 1 the day before and your average will still be like 1.2 It’s tough for that. The 1000 YouTube subs is also hefty lol
How's everyone's night so far?
Ate dinner, watched CSI with the wife and now get to finish up Kena bridge of spirits. Fantastic little game.
Season 2 of Halo finally comes out today
"But season 1 is still ongoing!" I instantly associated with the TV show lol
@ChronicMayhem Is there anything new this season we should be aware of?
Game types, like a BR-like mode, king of the hill and new maps
When my first last Spartan standing match last night
1
The content drop is slow ok it but mechanically it is still the best one in so many years. Reminds me of the long nights on Halo 2 with the shitty old foam Xbox headsets but the content is similar to reach with the customization, just waiting for the more lol. Maybe we can catch a game sometime chronic
Ya for sure
Click to see attachment 🖼️
@Firebat it's fun and the new game modes are nice
I'm checking it out later. Can't wait to grind another BP
@ERAv1 it's not perfect but it's still fun
Yeah last spartan standing is hard
Looks like YouTube's "Raiding" is here, but requires some set-up and has a lot of nuances https://youtu.be/lL2dmcUecAA
@sETH Sup?
I have a dual set up. Elgato hd60s+ in the middle. I have a proper mic in the stream PC and Astros for the gaming pc to hear and use discord. Issue now is my elgato captures my astros mic along with the game audio. I need to capture the game/discord audio but not my spoken words. I had it set up but i feel like an update for obs broke it
lol yea, at least it isn't get famous with mountviewers.com xD

I’d use the Elgato HD60S +

As seen above, copying text that works for Twitter and pasting it on Discord makes no sense, since regular Discord channels don't work like forums, and hashtags are used to link channels, not topics
I agree with you but also you said…”hashtags are not used for topics”…that’s exactly what they are used for and you can search for hashtags in a discord server (any one) and it will pull up topics. Hashtags were made to be able to keep things on TOPIC
One of these days we need to have a mods roundtable or something

Yeah!
The HOA controls the outside appearance, so it's the same thing as planting trees, I'm afraid.
Is it possible for normal average people to become streamers?
It is possible, and doable. Like anything else, you gotta learn a lot and dedicate your time to it. Why do you ask as if there's some secret recipe for success, or only a certain type of person could succeed?
Where can I ask about equipment?
Usually #🔧│tech-support-archive is the best spot. If you are curious about the how of it. Or if you are just wanting opinions on something feel free to drop it here
I.may be in the wrong spot - but anyone know where I can watch the Bob's Burgers Movie?
Yea, unfortunately this is more towards content creators (Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Gaming) Sorry about that amigo

My fault. Thanks Shane(cus).
Anytime, hope you get your movie lol its a good one.

Now time to do some marketing.
hi
@SnailDOS Try reading through https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/dmca-and-copyright-faqs and see if your questions are answered there. If not, come back with some specific questions re: DMCA or Twitch's policy. They have a whole team of lawyers at Twitch that handle just DMCA, so understand that any information you get from here is just information and shouldn't be regarded as legal advice; You should consult a lawyer familiar in DMCA to consult you on how to operate your business/product within the jurisdictions you intend to operate.
Yep thats copyrighted music, what about NCS?
If the music is from an artist under NCS's umbrella, it's use would be subject to NCS's policies, outlined here: https://ncs.io/usage-policy
What're y'all's take on DarkViper's whole "reacting without explicit permission from the content creator and not adding anything to the content is stealing" take?
The "explicit permission" part is a gray area to me. Depends a lot on what content is being reacted to. Opinions? Fair game - if you put opinions on the internet, you can't consider them "undebatable". Something new like a trailer or a presentation for a new product? Definitely, "casual" target audience of any given product or service will always be interested in the take of more avid (and supposedly more knowledgeable) users. Recordings of someone telling a personal story they have experienced? Not so much value there, since your opinion /reaction on that wouldn't matter, since it's being told from the point of view and experiences of the original video's creator. Many different scenarios with their pros and cons.
Also, good Saturday, I hope y'all enjoy walls of text early in the morning
I think thats a good take :3 I've done my best to steer clear of react stuff, though last night I was talking about DnD and ended up wanting to show 'XP to Level 3's latest video about minis because when I first saw the ending I screamed. I just checked and it took me 12 mins to fully watch the 3 minute video because I would pause and go on a tangent or google how to get hold of his Jocat goblin plushie xD The video ended up being more of a talking point than a reaction really, and I would stop to talk about the DnD stuff people mentioned in chat too. Would that kind of thing be considered ok? I'm really not sure and I doubt I'll do it again anytime soon, I dont like the idea of stealing content - just wanted to share a video that I was excited about at the end of the day I've heard of streamers who will literally go for a bathroom break while leaving someone else's content video running and that is absolutely not ok
I don't think there's a right or wrong here. The whole debate is inherently warped based on platform policies and the wrong incentives in content creation. It's far more important that your content is a.) engaging, b.) a certain length and c.) easy to consume then it actually showing real value. I don't mean that to offend somebody but there's a huge difference between an artfully created "movie" and most of the content that people do here (including myself). Yet reaction content pretends to be an evaluation of something but is rather the same as "playing vidya while being funny". I don't think people are bad when they do reaction content. I don't like it myself (as a viewer) and I don't do it as an creator (besides "reacting" to video games). But as long as YT doesn't fix their platform up to prefer production value over "how long will people stay and how many advertisement can we show people in that time" it's something we have to live with which is why I don't think that there's a good ethical take on any of that. And I say that besides strongly believing that reacting to other peoples content is actually bad style and you should strife for more.

I mean we see that also in streaming culture. Besides some actual meaningful networking with people you like, there's hardly any real discussion besides (real/fake) drama. Take r/streaming as an example. It could be such a cool place for interacting with each other but a huge portion is people trying to self-promote or asking how to get rich quick. Most people are fed up by answering the same trivial tech questions over and over again or that people ask extremely specific and challenging things to be solved for them and the culture we could have is mostly isolated islands of having good times in a vast sea of spam.

I think you could probably do that, but I've never tested it myself (I don't own a console or a capture card).

I'm dying over here. I can barely walk! Send my condolences to your partner, @synthie_cat
Oh fuck no! Keep it cooled and up high. Doctor here ordered that. Their general prognosis was 3-8 weeks of pain. Get yourself some crutches, mate.
All the same, I'll take the non-advice and keep it on ice and elevated
@synthie_cat Def tore my calf. 6-8 weeks on crutches.
So sorry to hear that. Can you sit comfortably tho?
But hey: More Time for you to get back to streaming

My content needs sprucing up. Playing an RPG with a lot of menu work is hard to make exciting. Gotta get to brainstorming
Hm, as somebody who plays games with a good amount of menus: Just talk over it. See if there are any good cues in the chat otherwise speak about something you're personally passionate about. I use it for talks about music, movies or politics (The last point being a personal interest) . Especially in games that that more then like - donno - 10-15h (I play J-RPGS so I'm more on the realm of 40-100h) it's impossible to strictly comment what's happening in game.
That's how it will look like. And I also have arcade buttons coming in - so there'll be a more traditional hitbox, too :)
Those look snazzy!
I hope they'll be. :D Never used a controller like that so it's a complete shot in the dark
Still need some push buttons and an enclosure but here we go :D

This looks so awesome! I wanna see the next steps
I got V Rising, not a huge discount but totally worth it.
I was thinking about it but was kinda split. Looks cool. Maybe next sale
This looks so awesome! I wanna see the next steps
Me too, tbh. This works like a first prototype for me and it's already exceeding my expectations. Next step will be using arcade buttons in a larger enclosure to test another configuration (aka. "Hitbox Style") and see what I vibe with the most. Then putting some work in to not only have bare metal plates :D
Have you all seen a boost of people with posting your streams here?
Never posted it here. This is a place for content creators -- and if I'm certain of one thing than that content creators don't have to much time on their hand :D

Have you all seen a boost of people with posting your streams here?
I can't pinpoint it to here but occasionally in other small streamer discords and whatnot I'll get someone popping in to chat or idle from there. Can't hurt I guess! Sometimes I'll click through to watch/follow if I connect with someone's content/message, if just to support.

Oh, that's something different to me. You're part of their community and you interact with them - so people are interested. I love this discord as there's a ton of combined knowledge but there are barely any viewers here. And the #old🔴streams channel is the only thing I've muted. It's not that I don't watch streams but if watch those of people I've interacted with before.
I recently added some channel point awards to my channel - anyone have any fun ones I might be missing? I checked a few articles but figured I'd ask here. Here are a few:
- Change My Case Lighting
- Compliment the Viewer
- Do a push up
- Do 5 squats
- Swap sitting/standing (have an electric standing desk)
- Change the music playing
- Speak like a pirate for 5 mins
- Give a mini-speech on a topic of the viewer's choice for 1-2 mins
- Play without my glasses for 5 mins
- Sing everything I say for 5 mins
- End stream immediately (for 100K haha)
I still like the low-point interaction of "Stretch", "Drink water" etc. It's a low effort thing to do and brings people in to interact. It's also so common that I feel people are easily willing to use those.
My feelings about "end steam" are rather ambivalent. Yeah, it's a fun thing to have in the list but if somebody redeems it, it sucks.
haha yeah kinda sucks if someone redeems early into the stream

@Shanecus I really tried, but I think I put too many irons in the fire, as per usual. My return to streaming has been delayed by injury and my hyperfixation of getting my laser cutter working instead of selling it.
Hyperfocus is a thing - but you could still combine it. I'm currently trying to learn more about designing for laser cutting - let me know if you're planning an educational stream :D
How's the leg doing btw?
Getting better. I'm able to walk with a small limp. The stairs are less of a hassle now.

I should do that. I hadn't planned an educational stream because I'm still trying to figure it out myself
Getting better. I'm able to walk with a small limp. The stairs are less of a hassle now.
And glad to hear that. My partner's still effed up - like swollen foot and all. Just sucks.
With a little effort, it looks like I could make that work
A little better lighting, and maybe a few new audio sources. Oh darn, more stuff to test
Not Terrible
