I started watching streams a while ago for competitive games as watching a good player gets me motivated to play and the streams can be quite educational.

Around the time Friday the 13th came out I started watching streamers who aren't professional players and it's god awful. What really blew my mind is that every streamer thinks they need to have a theme or gimmick, so you have one dude who flashes some power rangers medallion and poses every time he gets a sub or a follow, the dude looks about 30 and it's the cringiest shit.

The worst was some dude roleplaying a space fleet admiral or something and he'd read out his subs and talk about 'their new ship' and welcoming them to 'the fleet'. It's like marketing principles applied by idiots with no understanding of how they work, and for some reason people like this shit.

>>382167923
>one dude who flashes some power rangers medallion and poses every time he gets a sub or a follow, the dude looks about 30 and it's the cringiest shit.

LMAO I know who you're talking about.

The worst streamers to me, by far, are the GTA V roleplaying ones. It isn't harmless fun like you would imagine it is, it's legitimately a new Second Life, people living in the game all day with "jobs" and taking it EXTREMELY SERIOUS. And they're all extremely popular.

you do have to have some sort of gimmick to 'make it big' as a streamer, though, or at least be able to sell your personality or have a personality that is extremely popular with The Youth™. At least if you want to make it your primary source of income.

Yeah I watched a few minutes of a GTAV RP stream the other day and it's so weird having a streamer narrate everything to the audience in character. I genuinely could not do that I would be far too embarassed.

>>382169125
I have a friend who just got NBN and he's getting into streaming. He's been doing Alien Isolation, just a facecam no sub buttons or anything, chatting to the audience about alien movies during quiet parts, no fake screaming or shit but taking the scary parts seriously. It's actually extremely watchable but not many people stick around for long, maybe he needs to scream memes whenever the alien appears.

>>382169386
Not really. If you take the top .1% most successful streamers they don't make shit compared to top .1% in pretty much every other fields out there...

>>382169624
That's not even the issue. Everything around the stream takes an awful amount of time and no one see the work in the shadows. Also agency takes a large cut on streamers income and pretty none of the big streamers have the time nor the knowledge to manage business opportunity themselves.

At the end of day most streamers like him are "digital prostitutes". That's how we call them at work (I'm in Marketing).

We just pay agencies, they pay streamers, we get the amount of views/acquisitions we asked for, they get their money.

Those people just stream whatever they're paid to stream whenever they're not doing their "main" game. They don't really have any says.

No one watch because you're a nobody. You could stream whatever is the latest meme game you wouldn't get more viewers either.

You're actually more likely to build an audience by giving something not many people do (like streaming old as fuck games) rather than just streaming what's popular.

It depends on the streamer. Some streamers are actually really entertaining (Penguinz0, Vinesauce, Criken2, Soviet Womble etc.) because each of them act completely different from each other, they play the games differently, and they can make a game that's shit golden (in terms of humor.) If the streamers are actually entertaining and interact with their fans, watching them play vidya is fun. But yeah, most streamers are complete garbage. There's only a select few that are actually watchable. The rest just sit there and act retarded or don't even say anything. I'd say it depends on how the streamer actually streams. If they play with other people, how good they entertain, if their charecter is interesting, and weather or not they care about their fans. That all adds up to weather or not a streamer is good. Same with let's players. Most are abysmal, but some are actually good because they're entertaining. Simple as that. Plus, it can also help you deter weather or not you want to buy a game or not.

You could say /v/ is really twitchy around streamers

I used to stream. Here's some tips

>Consistency is key. Try to stream the same games in the same time slot a few times a week.
>Expect to play the same shit all the time
>Don't fall for the face cam meme
>To keep viewers you either have to be entertaining or really really good at the game you're playing
>It's easier to build a fan base on an unpopular game than it is on games with a million streams like LoL
>If you're competing with other streams you'll get views by doing different or unusual shit in those games. Hardcore or challenge runs are good for this cuz most streamers are fukken casuals
>Be Humble and don't bother print a donation button, weird ui/hud shit, viewer counts, in stream chat etc. Ppl just want to see you play the fukken game and either learn shit from you playing like a pro or be entertained by you

>streamers are narcissists
Who knew?

That's why the only interesting people at agdq are not the popular streamers and they have actually something interesting to say. I guess the exception is that one nigger who plays yoshi.

Literally how does he do it? Even when he's being a shitter, it's more of a "classic egg" moment than something annoying

Though we can all agree his friends range from okay to cancer-tier

I feels sorry for twitch/YouTube fags being typecast into one game. Take Yogscast for example. They've been making Minecraft videos done it came out. You can tell they're sick to death of playing Minecraft and making videos of it but if they don't put out more episodes people stop watching them.

Hell is being made to play a game you're sick of playing and hate playing.

Goddamn, what happened to the guy? I started watching his videos when he was partway through Amnesia way back when. He knew about the game, talked about pacing and game design, and the videos were entertaining enough.

Then he flooded his channel with way, way more content than I could possibly keep up with.

A few months later, he's become the archetype of the "screams too much idiot who never knows what he's doing in games, yet somehow makes seven figures a year" cancer.

I haven't tried to keep up with any of his shenanigans elsewhere online, but every now and then I hear things from/about him that make me disinclined to ever watch his stuff again.

I've lately just been watching some Dragonball Z League (AI matches, where you can join a "team" to customize the characters with equipment and AI personalities), or smaller specialized playthroughs of more niche games. It's chill, consistent, and the commentator usually knows what he's talking about and is clearly passionate about the games in question.

>>382179209
It should burst long before that, since watching people play games is miniscule compared to watching people play sports.

>>382174457

Ehh, I'd rather fully enjoy one thing at a time. But considering that watching streams is already low quality entertainment, I'm not surprise that people only use it as background noise.

Although it would be more constructive and stimulant to listen to an audiobook, or a podcast.

Autistic salty boy, calm down.

>videogames are boring but I enjoy watching cancerous streamers play them

Yes, there actually is a fundamental difference between watching a person you think is nice doing something and doing it yourself. Not even sports fan plays.

>I also enjoy posting for hours a day on a videogame image board

That projection was ugly strong. Probably the first time I posted on /v/ all year.

>playlists and autoplay don't exist

Actually not for me, since I set Youtube Center to only start the video when I hit play, so I have autoplay disabled.

>I'm so autistic I need distractions while practicing guitar

I know you don't play any sort of instrument nor have any sort of talent in general (besides getting your ass blasted), but yeah, it helps. I can easily practice for over an hour if I'm simutaneously enjoying something else, otherwise repetitive, constant movements get boring to do.

Just admit I made you feel insecure because I'm more interesting than you.

Well they aren't wrong.

I used to blame the streamers, but watching the Crash streams over the past few days really puts into perspective how much the audience is responsible for the faggotry that goes on.
I mean for fuck sake you had them telling him to turn up his own voice over the fucking games. Are people this lonely?

>>382183583
I dunno why but people just love to fellate their favorite entertainers. Maybe for the small hope that "senpai" will notice them.
I bet it unironically makes their day when a streamer reads their comment out loud and laughs.

It took quite a while for sports to develop enough interest for people to be able to play sports professionally. Then the popularity of spectating sports grew from small to large.

dark souls streamers or speedrunners in general

This was vinesauce for me. He was funny and seemed to hate YouTube and twitch trends but after two years of watching him a few times a week he was becoming too self referential. He just kept making references to things that weren't even funny the first time, like SHÜT, the sonic voice, tucker, Karl, and some others. He was pretty great but i guess everyone falls off eventually.

>>382194348
Then you're playing to the wrong crowd anon. Face cams, tits, reactions, chatlogs, memes; these are ingrained into the culture.
It's a fucking shame, but it is true.

why play an instrument if you dont like it enough to play it without outside stimuli

>>382194154
You have to unironically shill your channel.

I think Pewdiepie used to shill his shit here. Notch dropped minecraft on here and /v/ gave suggestions for future updates back in the day. I'm pretty sure Joseph Anderson shilled here early too. If you're familliar with /k/, there's a few personalities that shilled on /k/ early and then got bigger.

I'm not telling you to shill here, but you have to do it somewhere. Starting is the hardest part. You need the numbers. After you start getting regular viewers you start to snowball, barring that you don't fuck up and get too boring or you latch on to some sinking ship game/trend.
