Ste Pickford Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I remain slightly bemused about the attraction of watching other people play a game that you could be playing yourself, but watching other people gambling? The future is a weird place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future is a weird place. They're both simulations. With the gambling they're getting a small amount of the thrill from gambling, without any of the risk. With watching someone play a game, they're getting a simulation of a shared gaming experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think people like Amouranth and basically soft core porn is a good use of twitch? People like coh deserve every penny One of the top streamers on the list is constantly telling their viewers they have no money and need subs and donation now that among us isn't popular. They made like 100k last month..... Yeah why don't you do that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberJohnny Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 At the same time, women by these figures are like 3% of the successful streamers, and that 3% includes the titty-streamers, so while it is kinda exploiting a loophole in the terms of service and Twitch's lack of proper parental controls, it's hard to say it's a big problem in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they have nearly 40 employees including the cast and a rented studio space in Burbank, they doubled the cameras etc during Covid so they could film while distanced.. Plus they run a charitable foundation. They have something like a thousand hours of totally free content - all subscribers get is the latest show available on demand if they missed the free live broadcast (and several live rebroadcasts).. and then it goes up on Youtube a few days later anyway. In terms of modern entertainment budgets, 9 million gets you what? One episode of Star Trek: Discovery..? compared to two+ years (~300hrs) of Critical Role and a load of the various other shows/mini campaigns and one-shots they've produced in that time.. Also all this money being paid out from subscribers.. Twitch skim HALF off before anyone else gets anything.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is constantly making changes to his channel to share the wealth. He constantly tells people that don't need to subscribe (and the benefits of doing so are almost non-existent). All his donations go to his mods. He employs 3 full time staff and countless others part time. He deserv s all his success and so do many others.

Who cares if some people want to make / support boobie streams? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
