>>388959039
Its not like youtube subscriptions.
You can follow freely but subscriptions let you get special stream-specific emotes and a little tag next to your name. There is also shit like subscriber-only chat mode and shit like that which can be turned on to incentivize subscribing.

>>388959476
Watching faggots play video games is not entertainment.

>>388959476
not manchildren playing videogames while other people watch, that's for sure
perhaps it is the games themselves as entertainment takes effort. otherwise you say that watching paint dry is also entertainment as it takes as much effort as being a streamer does

Kripp. Dude is honest, he doesnt have meme donations blasting in the middle of his streams but he still thanks subs between games (since people really need their names called out for whatever reason). I hate that he mostly streams hearthstoje but he at least only does arena and is very honest about the game. Honestly best streamer just to not having sub/follower/donation notifications popping up alone

The only guy I'm subcribed to is an Russian accordion player. He doesn't talk much and if he does I don't understand a word of it but there's something relaxing about listening to a seemingly depressed guy playing an instrument.

A base level Twitch subscription is $5. With that subscription, Twitch receives $2.50 and the streamer receives $2.50.

>>388960560

The reasoning is that people are likely to forget to unsub or continue subbing due to twitch chat emotes after getting to use them once. Its a very solid strategy

>>388961038
He sometimes streams video games but I don't watch that, only the music. He tries to be uplifting but isn't very convincing and you can sense his depression through it all. It's a bit like watching a slowly dying man pouring his heart and soul into something the world doesn't care about. I think it's the subtle tragedy of it all I'm attracted to. He's a damn fine accordion player though.

>>388961197

i mean it's so absolutely impressive that i might subscribe. he even hops on a fucking scooter and goes up the street to the gas station to buy smokes while streaming from his phone. watching a guy with no hands smoke a cig is more entertaining than 99% of everything else on twitch.

>>388961248

>>388961248
The under-20 set have always been about which entertainers they follow as one of the ways they connect. Choosing a streamer to watch is like choosing a movie star or a musician for us old folks: it's friendship criteria.

Given how many awful and equally pointless jobs there are it's indeed a viable career choice. Go be a salesman for a few months and you will quickly feel dead and empty and with the lousy pay convincing yourself you're in for the money isn't working very well either.

>>388962169
Streaming on twitch isn't ANYWHERE near as saturated as it should be. You have to be delusional to think it's saturated right now.

>>388962169
Like everything in capitalism you can try it and if you get away with it and sustain then it's validating itself. Many people rely on having two jobs today and if one of them is being a streamer then it's totally fine.

I'm not, you are. You damn well know nobody just materializes out of thin air and has a computer, internet connection, video games and then streams. People have an income or savings to fund their hobby and early streaming attempts for a while until it becomes self-sufficient.

When you sub for $5 or whatever it is, twitch gets half and the streamer gets half, I believe. So Twitch just likely gives up their half, hoping you subscribe more and give them money eventually.

I don't understand why variety streamers get so popular. If you watch a speedrunner or a competitive streamer or somebody who's really fucking good at guitar hero or anything at all with a skill level far higher than your own I can understand why it would be entertaining.
But what does a variety streamer even provide? The friend simulator line people keep spouting is bullshit, you get zero attention in any big stream unless you have the money to donate literal thousands of dollars.
