Twitch should really go more highlight-oriented. Like highlights when hovering over recommended, recommended compilations while a streamer is offline. Yeah, that’s more like UA-cam, but it’s better for streamers, especially small ones.
There's this extension you can add to your stream where when you shout someone out (for whatever reason, they raided you, just a friend of the channel, whatever) it automatically plays a clip from their channel on your stream. I'm not saying that's a good idea for all streams, but I think more stuff like that would be really helpful to small streamers like me since instead of viewers seeing a shout out and ignoring it, they actually get to see that person be funny or have a reason to follow and maybe click on the next stream. Just have clips everywhere and be more accessible
@@Izzy-bq1rc it's called clip guru! The streamer I mod for uses it, and it's my FAVORITE part of the job ^.^ I've always loved giving s/o's, giving me clip guru just incentivises me further. We've found some S tier clips from people that way.
literally youtube
They Should try to be more like UA-cam in that regard, because that’s exactly how most people find new streamers to watch outside of raids. You see popular clips from twitch that were uploaded to UA-cam and go “huh, that person’s funny, I should watch more of them.”
Growing on twitch is impossible. The only reason i have any amount of growth on twitch is from my UA-cam channel, my tik tok, my meme page on Instagram, my main Instagram, and Snapchat. If i didn’t use those other social media’s to promote and get the word out on when i go live on twitch, I’d still have 0 viewers on twitch. Twitch truly does just need to implement something like this. It would help SO much. Even just automatically opening to the clips section of a twitch channel rather than the videos section would probably help a little bit.
"The best way to grow on Twitch is to get off Twitch" - I found Ludwig through a random recommended video in my YT feed, and I started watching him. I'd never used Twitch for anything except watching Rainbow 6 Tournaments. 2 years later, I tune it to a wide variety of streamers and most of my YT watch-time is spent on Twitch highlight channels - all because of Luds YT channel.
Yeah I found Lud during his geoguesser phase. I love Geowizard and when Lud sucked at geography in the beginning it was entertaining and drew me in.
ditto. I found lud thru the bros v pros he did with smallant, which I saw on smallant's youtube after discovering his channel watching other mario gameplay on youtube.
I found lud through his very first amazon stream video from a random recommendation and went huh I wonder what this is. Been watching ever since.
Found lud through his twitch jeopardy with Connor and Jschlatt, thought he was a good host and noticed he liked Pokémon like me and was doing a black and white nuzlocke with custom rules, from there it was history
I found Lud through one of the first wikipedia speedruns, I thought the concept sounded interesting and ended up getting hooked on his sense of humor. I had never watched full streams on twitch or at all before that time.
I actually really respect lud for this. He really seems like he genuinely cares about the health of the twitch community. Twitch and UA-cam are owned by the 2 biggest corporations and at the end of the day they only really care about profit.
Well of course he does, if twitch collapses he has no income. Pretty sure Ludwig also cares about money
Edit: job
@@tyler1107 yeah but he has 30k subs on twitch consistently. Thats like 6 figures profit a month
@@brooo4219 you forgot taxes and twitches cut and also it’s with in a month so idk the actual amount but i feel like him posting daily is more profitable
@@bigboi4161 twitch has always been more profitable than YT for bigger strwamers
this is just how capitalism works. quantity over quality
why not just have an "I'm feeling lucky" type button, like what netflix added, that just jumps you to a random stream based on the things you've already watched, but not too focused. free, and could help smaller streamers grow
That’s a dope idea, especially when the people you normally watch aren’t active at that moment
+1
I support this
I love random page type features. Makes me feel motivated and excited to explore :)
This is such a good idea !
The problem is, there is nothing preventing twitch from putting more small streamers in the recommended tab. They could literally do it today, for free, if they wanted more small channels in the recommended tab. But they decide to do this, which just makes it clear they care far more about the money than they do about small streamers
Now days the only people getting famous from twitch are those who are already famous from something else and they use twitch as another revenue stream or its someone who interacts with big creators because that's how twitch is set up. Twitch just doesn't want new creators anymore
The hard part is, most small streamers just aren't as entertaining as the larger streamers so it's hard to filter out the ones that just have mediocre content from the good ones who just haven't gotten a chance yet. So it very well might have a cost in terms of user experience.
I do get your point but again Twitch is a company so they need to come up with ideas which are profitable for them. Think it this way, can twitch give every single person on their platform a free sub just for a month? Yes. Would this be very welcoming by the community and make Twitch look like a really caring platform? Probably yes. So why don't Twitch give away free subs to their creators who are been in their platform for a while? Well this won't make any money in return, just a kind act. But there needs to be profit because there are thousands of people working for Twitch and they're waiting for their paychecks every month, in a way we're paying for those too. If I was working for Twitch and came up with an idea in which it's going make small streamers grow and also going to make money for the company then I would expect to get paid by Twitch for my idea. But if my idea don't make any money even though it make the small streamers grow anyway(like you suggest), well that's a really nice thing but now are they going to make money out of thin air to pay me?
So basically they can't just make decisions like you said because if they don't think about money then the company is going to be in decline. Therefore the advertiser won't be working with them and they won't be able to support their servers, their paychecks for employees, their rent for offices, their events etc...
I've never liked twitch personally. They just don't do anything to promote people besides the top and they always have been a scumbag company
Theyre a business
The way I see it, you don’t really go to twitch to see new random streamers who you might like. You only really go watch people you know and like. But UA-cam has been known as the site where you just click on videos and if you get something new that you end up liking, you’ll probably return. So it’s probably also an issue of habit or what the site is generally like or known as.
yeah like if my favourite streamer is on then I won't check out a new channel who I don't know, I will just watch my favorite streamer
Yes. I mostly find small streamers because of their great youtube vids. Just goes to show that linking your stuff in the description and your channel links works
i love how the algorithm works on youtube. sometimes, they'll show you a random god clip that everyone comes across too
Yeah. Seeing someone’s video on UA-cam and then later checking out their twitch is how I’ve found some of my favorite streamers I think.
Or among us collabs ngl those were great for discovering new people to watch.
That's sort of a chicken and egg thing though. The site is known for something so they do add features that emphasize that while ignoring others- so they became more polarized in that way.
I saw this live already, but I comment and upvote for the algorithm to boost this very mature, well-articulated take. (You know, without even paying for it, lol)

TRUE!
Discoverability is so bad on twitch, the way I have found great smaller streamers is getting a video recommended on UA-cam and if I like them and they have a twitch link I check them out. (I’m not talking about UA-cam streams, those have even worse discovery than twitch)
Edit: yeah Lud is talking about it later in the video, found him through his original black and white ludlock videos getting recommended to me 2 years ago
Same its pretty rare for me to find a twitch streamer on twitch, and I find youtuber streamers often in the side bar underneath
For sure, most of the small streamers I watch I found because they're in small categories. I stream art and getting clicked on in a category that always has tens of thousands of viewers is really hard unless you have at least a few dozen viewers. I try to break out of that category when I can but that's what my channel is, If I can't stream art I'm not going to stream at all.
I've been streaming on YT for years and I completely agree!, UA-cam streamers are literally so hard to find, there's no streamer section, no keywords that directly link you to streams.
Its a nightmare, the most advertising I get for my YT streams is by putting YT in my ingame names, literally how most my viewers found me.
Only other way i found success is in Stream colabs with other YT streamers, and even then there struggling themselves!.
Dude I feel ya, I found Lud thru his second Amazon stream video. Same thing with a lot of smaller streamers. I find them thru UA-cam lol
Its so impressive to me that lud did this live on the fly, it sounds like he’s rehearsed a script. Hes an amazing public speaker
I don't see how this neccesarily helps anyway? Streamers with less viewers aren't going to have as much access to boosting their channel as someone with more viewers, right? The person with more viewers is still going to have more people boosting them?

I agree how is a streamer supposed to get boosted if it has no one watching to boost it.
In This feature all the money goes to twitch… that’s why they don’t really care about the details. A lot of ppl will boost their streamers, twitch will get all of it
@@potthethird actually hilarious. So they expect me a viewer than want to support a small streamer to give twitch money for a chance of exposure rather than just directly donate or sub to the streamer for support. LOL
You can be a shitty streamer with 10 viewers that just streams for fun bu, has a ton fuck of money due to his real job and now he can self boost and be at the top of the ladder. Twitch is becoming PTW more and more each day, that's the problem
I once tried to browse new streams on twitch. My biggest problem was that every time I opened a new stream, I had to watch a 30 second ad before I could see a second of the stream itself. After those 30 seconds I finally got to judge if the stream was something I liked or not, if the answer was no I would have to sit through the same 30 second ad again if I try to watch another stream.
Don't make people watch an ad the first time they look at a stream
That’s on the streamer not twitch right?
@@ChristinaMagma No? You can’t turn off ads completely unless you’re too small to even be affiliate. You have to run manual ad breaks to turn off the ads that pop up when people click on the stream. Viewers can just use Adblock or whatever if it bothers them that much.
@@Arcadayo twitch is very good at having ads show even though you have adblock enabled
Well… this aged.
Dude, the fact that twitch has a built-in content farm for tik-tok style content in their clips feature and DOESNT boost it to the top and give it a whole tab and infinite scrollability is actually mind blowing to me.
Also the clip of the day idea is goated, totally solves that “hey just opened the stream, what’s happening today guys?” problem
It's insanely cool to see such a big streamer and, frankly, pillar of the Twitch community, talk about the site's shortcomings openly and honestly. That takes some serious stones, and I respect the hell outta Lud for this.
lud may be zoomer bait but he actually does A LOT for the communities he's a part of.
As a long time twitch viewer the best way to find new fun streamers is to go to your fav game category and start going through lowest viewer streams. Found some of the coolest twitch streamers that way.
For sure, I found my favorite streamer because they were one of two people streaming Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, I got half my viewers from that community and have learned a ton from them. I don't even know the games they play now (mostly Kirby) but I still watch most streams
@@Izzy-bq1rc Similar experience over here too! My favorite streamer is basically a ten viewer Andy 😂…. Twitch is just an Ahole company trying to milk as much money out of us users as possible- stop playin by their rules and encourage others to do the same. Bigger streamer doesn’t equal better streamer.
Imagine if Twitch actually put effort into their platform. They literally could turn clips into tiktok type of content that people can go watch and it'd help discoverability on the platform ten fold.
That’s what a huge portion of clip content on other platforms is made of, anyway. Here on UA-cam most of the shorts I watch are uploads of Twitch clips
As long as the shitty short format on youtube isnt implemented then yeah, its good
Fun fact: Tiktok literally did this a few months ago where you could promote your own videos. It failed miserably. You may have gotten higher views but you saw little to no interactions, less follows, the video said promoted so no audio sorting. It hurt overall views and interactions for the rest of the site as well. It's rarer to see a 1M+ liked video now than 9 months ago. Overall it was a crash and burn. Also, that clip idea Harris gave to Twitch over a year ago. They never did it. you know you have an issue when tip 1 for growth is to use another platform
First thing I Thought about this boost was exactly this. If it goes really bad people can even start to hate streamers that pay for visibility saying things like "he pays because he has bad content". Overall this boost thing is more for bad than for good
7:25 That idea at the end Lud had was amazing. I don't use Twitch too often, (obviously this is the youtube comment section after all) but I constantly see streamers have to repeat themselves a lot of times, it gets to the point where they might just ban someone just joining and asking what's going on. Having a clip to explain the stream you're about to watch should be implemented as an optional starting point the moment you click on the stream. Another thing to add, Twitch should just start asking their own creators what to do, if Ludwig has this idea on the top of his head, others will as well.
My own idea is make subs watch ads, but instead of 6 30 second ads in a row, subs just have to watch 5 second ads only and one each time, they need to find more profit and that could be a start
Make subs watch adds would be so bad lmfao
Some people sub only not to watch adds, take this away would make a lot of people unsub right away
As a very honest take from me: Do you know when I found the most new streamers by FAR. Literally amogus. Like more than any event, or raid, or gift. That entire few months was probably the biggest exposure for people ever.
That's exactly how I found Ludwig. He played with Pewdiepie and I noticed just how smart Lud is.
I discovered Toast from among us, then I found OTV, then their friends, which eventually led me here, and now they're like 80% of my online entertainment
Imo Among us was one of the greatest eras of content. It also looks like people are collabing much more than before after the success among us had, wich is also great
reality is often disappointing. would love to see more kickball stuff. wish it was easier to do :(
Mad respect to Ludwig for putting this out there. Ever since Twitch got bought out by Amazon they have gone down the toilet. It is really sad that they got so miserable like every other decent company that starts great then gets bought and ruined. *cough* UA-cam *cough*.
Also, he is totally right about programmers making bugs into "features". Lol.
Can't wait for Atrioc's Marketing Monday on this subject
Very good points Lud. It would be great to have a “discover” tab for smaller streams to get more viewers.
Ludwig usually has pretty good takes but he really popped off in this vid
Around 7 minutes is actually a big problem. Obviously there’s dead air but MANY large streamers don’t put in the effort to react, or even credit the videos they watch on stream. It’s really unfortunate bc, one it’s illegal, and two it’s being a leech to other people. If a reaction doesn’t come, I get it, but there are many that don’t even try or credit and it sucks. UA-cam got over this years ago with Jinx (who I think put more effort than some of the biggest twitch streamers) and I’m very scared that UA-cam will regress to that point again. Great video Lud, I agree with basically everything you said
Anyways, um... I bought a whole bunch of shungite rocks, do you know what shungite is? Anybody know what shungite is? No, not Suge Knight, I think he's locked up in prison. I'm talkin' shungite. Anyways, it's a two billion year-old like, rock stone that protects against frequencies and unwanted frequencies that may be traveling in the air. That's my story, I bought a whole bunch of stuff. Put 'em around the la casa. Little pyramids, stuff like that.
Thank you, very cool
Who’s Shungite
I made a sarcophagus of shungite to sleep in at night. Thats when the most harmful frequencies are awake, as we all know they are nocturnal. They will never take my stem cells
I dont know as a youtube content creator i find youtube easier to make or consume content. Twitch users are on copium and dont really care about new creators vs their fav streamers which is fine but if your trying to get big as a streamer you gonna spend more then 5 years just trying to get a couple followers or affiliate. For youtube all you gotta do is post one good video and algorithm carries you. But if your a 0 viwer andy your never gonna get the support or exposure you need because therres someone always better then you.

that's why if you want to be a streamer nowadays you're gonna have to do youtube too to gain a following. But most small streamers don't realize that UA-cam helps build their Twitch channel more than streaming
@@TheRealMallard exactly and honestly it makes me a little upset because i dont wanna work that hard for two platforms for about the same reward. Both cultures are dope af but i feel like streaming is like working more then a 9-5 but worse because if you dont make it within the first couple of years its like your practically working for free. Same with UA-cam but with the tube youll see more organic growth
@@DragonMasters525 As a small streamer I really think it depends on the stream and your community. I started streaming less than a year ago and I'm making more money than I thought I would in twice this amount of time. I have friends who've been streaming longer to less success, and friends who started after me and are getting more viewers. A big part of it is if you're actually good at streaming.
For me, Twitch is just more fun. It's not talking to a camera alone, editing for a few hours, then posting a video which gets three views. I sit in front of a camera, talk to people who are listening to me, have conversations, meet people, join other peoples' communities while building my own, and over time work to improve my stream. I have a UA-cam to support my Twitch, but making videos isn't fun and they don't get views. Different channels with different content are obviously going to be suited to different platforms.
@@Izzy-bq1rc I stream on YT and its literally a ghost simulator, if you don't get them few loyal viewers you just don't grow, YT has no Streamer section or direct links through algorithm, ever since Twitch streamers started using YT to get more viewers over every time i search for small YT streamers I just get popular twitch streamers, it really sucks, it was fine 4 years ago and I streamed on Twitch before YT and in my experience UA-cam Streaming is the hardest thing out of the 3 (Twitch, UA-cam and Facebook)
Literally every bit of research i’ve done as a new streamer leads to, “post your content on other platforms, UA-cam, TikTok, Reddit..”
Like damn broski. Just wanna vibe play games and chat not rip my hair out from making a crap ton of accounts
Imagine Technoblade joined twitch. With the boost system the recommendation would just break lol.
technosupport
I have discovered more small twitch streamers by getting recommended a video of them on youtube. Than I have actually on twitch.
I remember a couple years ago back when Schlatt streamed, someone asked him how to get big on twitch. He said the best way is to build an audience somewhere else like UA-cam and bring it to twitch, since there’s no easy way for new people to be exposed to your content.
I honestly love lud's meta content about twitch, he always presents such an interesting perspective
Thanks for both talking about this and informing me of this as well. I totally agree, as a small streamer for the longest time it's been rough. Maybe I do need to start using my UA-cam more but I just don't have the time in my current schedule with schooling. Also as someone who can't stream everyday, it really does make it hard to be discovered. The best way I have been seen so far is through telling the discord groups I've been raiding with that I'm live when playing Destiny. It really does feel shitty that there is no good way to be seen through twitch alone.
Also, I am unable to keep a consistent schedule and that hurts that it affects my ability to go further with no discovery feature.
The nails tho 😂😂😂
Really appreciated hearing your thoughts on this and basically agree with all that ya said, t'was very well articulated. Thank you for caring about the Twitch community as a whole and for wanting to protect the awesome potential and culture it has ^^
I think the main is problem is just that livestreams are much less marketable than almost any other form of media. Watching a 10 minute UA-cam video is much easier and more appealing than watching a multiple hour long livestream. Even then, clicking on a random livestream will probably just be something uninteresting like them waiting in a loading screen, then at least 30 seconds of ads hits you and you don't feel like watching the ads for something you probably aren't interested in. So people only watch streamers they know they will enjoy so they don't waste their time.
I have absolutely found loads of streamers from being recommended clip/highlight compilations on youtube. I feel like it gives a good idea of what a streamer's sense of humours like & what their community finds noteworthy/funny- since that's how they seem to get popular. I've watched enough VODs from streamers on here that the algorithm picks someone in the same area of stuff I like, and it's honestly helped me find several new people I'm subbed to.
I don't know if I've ever even clicked on anything in the recommended section on Twitch.
Ludwig doesn't realize this, but he is making everyone's day better🥠👏

chatter at 12:07 has a good point, even beyond big streams being more creatively satisfying they are good PR and that could make you bigger in the long run than just react streams. in fact, maybe a mix is the play but it would be cool for ways for smaller streamers to pop off
"Someone needs to stop Twitch"
Twitch: _gets hacked_
I think the pinned clip idea would also get more people to watch the first ad that comes up when you go to the stream if the first ad comes after the clip, and ad viewership seems to be their number one priority
ur really onto something with that clip feature :eyes:
Honestly, Im happy Lud is saying this, Besides being able to interact instantly with streamers, most of Twitch is clunky and confusing. Trying to claim loot is not worth the hassle half the time, and literally everything besides writing in chat costs money.
I think if Twitch made the VoDs and clips more accessible and intractable, it would be just a better UA-cam.
Twitch needs to hire Ludwig as a consultant. Holy moly. He has such good points.
Yoo this Clip-idea of you is so good ! Imagine seeing a 10sec clip of what's happening that day when you click on a new channel every time
So true man, I’m currently trying to start out on UA-cam, hope it bodes well!
lud is probably the only content creator that would actually come out and say something like this, much respect
Marketing Monday with Ludwig!
5:29 Sykkuno made a good point here
Ludwig: I'm not worried about money.
*two ebay streams later...*
Those nails are fireeeee. Intro was extremely informative
8 minutes in and I finally understood Lud's hat's message lmao
Thank you Ludwig for speaking up for smaller creators. I love hearing you stand up for us
i’m mad cuz now youtube sometimes makes me watch a full 15 second ad with another 5 second ad so a full 20 seconds of ads
I agree with pretty much everything you said in this video, ESPECIALLY the pinned clip idea. That is such a genius idea of a feature, Twitch definitely needs to jump on that
Has anyone else noticed the current problem UA-cam has where random accounts reply to comments with like an 18+ thing, they should really nuke those accounts bc now reading through comments and replies is difficult, I know this has like nothing to do with the video but like jeez it's annoying
The way Ludwig described himself as a twitch user as the beginning. That was me too. I honestly don't even visit the site anymore. I miss the interaction, but all the content I consume I do from the same creators over here on youtube.
Solid video lud, especially about some pinned tweet or something when you join a livestream. Now they kinda put it in the title or just their discord. Which sucks.
As for clips they 100% just need an easy access clip page where you can watch clips of the day.
Instead of what we have now, sure they have a clip page per category and you can short on 24h or 7days. But it just doesn't do it.
They need a dedicated page and algorithm for it so it can recommend me nice clips instead now i have to go to UA-cam for it other people use TikTok.
Well not like they will do it ever and neither is anybody gonna read this.
The only way I find new streamers that I tend to come back to and watch is from raids
Yo congrats on almost 2mil subs
What if for the boost system, it’s twitch putting ads on UA-cam and the streamer gets to decide the 15/30 second vid that gets played (and represent what twitch is about) so same basis of the amount of “recommendations” but how many times ur vid gets shown for twitch’s ad
I remember when boosting was with channel points
A TikTok-type section on twitch would be amazing. Where you could just scroll through clips. One thing that could make it different from TikTok would be when a viewer clips something from a different streamer, there are two buttons on the video, one to follow the streamer and one to follow the viewer posting the clips.
Twitch just needs to yoink the new shorts feature from UA-cam and then add a live chat feature for those clips like in SoundCloud
Anything for the king 💅🏻
Sheeeesh, respectfully Ludwig should come to visit New Zealand when it opens up. On god
ua-cam.com/video/eQaorH2bVCc/v-deo.html

As a fellow nz’er, I agree
I agree with what you said because every twitch streamer ok I found through UA-cam and then also through vods because if I go on twitch and I randomly click on someone's stream it's very unlikely I'll stay and enjoy it
this is how i use twitch: i find the people i watch already on youtube, i wait for some lull in the stream and leave until the vod comes out that way i can watch at my pace, other than that i just watch evo every year lol. on top of the stupid long ads that kill the flow of the stream, yt gaming is just better because you can skip around if you want or pause the stream
I was watching Rex when Ludwig broke his stream LULW
5:02 "twitch runs at a loss and everything they try to do is to make them more profitable" tbh if I was amazon, buying twitch would be a great investment to run at at NOL (net operating loss) since they might be able to deduct that from their overall taxes (lol) and carry it over to future returns if they exceed the limit
I think a discover tab where smaller streamers can have a promo reel, and highlights
They need to recommend highlights or channel intros. The best part about raids is when the streamer tells you their name, who they're playing with, how much longer they're on, what they usually play, etc. When you go into a new channel in the middle of their stream it's like going on a boring blind date because all of your friends were busy. So you bail and wait for someone you know to start streaming to even come back to the website at all
Small streamer = few viewers boost the stream
Big streamer = more viewers = more boosts
Therefore, recommendations for larger streamers will stomp on small streamers
I think the main thing that Lud touches on here that I agree with is how much Twitch relies on other platforms for streamers to succeed. If Twitch could functionally replace LSF with an on-site post board, comments on clips, and a tab for viewing and consuming clips and VODs, they’d be more successful.
I think the primary issue with Twitch is that they give revenue streams to other platforms because they don’t have an effective way to replace the functions those platforms have created, and if they could functionally replace that, they could keep people on the website, viewing advertisements and gaining revenue.
Twitch just needs to make availability for edited clips and VODs to be uploaded under channels, and have a better system for viewing popular posts that prioritizes smaller streamers with comparatively popular posts, coupled with a voting or liking system, as Lud said.
At the end of the day, Twitch needs to do what will make them money without a lot of investment, but I don’t think the effort and investment it would take to implement a liking/voting system on clips and VODs, or a commenting system on that type of content, or creating a page that highlights those types of content is difficult.
If Twitch can get edited stream content back on the platform, and the platform can focus on keeping all Twitch-related content on the website, I think they could gain more revenue because it could give viewers a reason to be on the site and to consume content they wouldn’t normally.
Overall, Twitch needs to have a way to get edited and highlighted stream content back on the platform as the main viewing location. Reddit, UA-cam, TikTok, and more all have portions of their platform dedicated to content that comes from Twitch, filling niches and content consumption that isn’t available elsewhere, because Twitch isn’t worried about keeping its content on its platform. Fix that, and you fix most of the issues with Twitch. Then you can focus on ways to incentivize watching different streamers.
Thats actually a really good point about how twich's structure incentivizes quantity over quality. It obv a prob on youtube too, but it seems to a lesser extent.
What i would do is the longer you use the app like a currency and you can buy more so then you can boost a streamer that has 250 followers or below, but never above
The big streamers are quite literally the someones who need to stop this
“When you charge money for something you can produce infinitely at zero cost[…] that's not a service, that is the fucking death of economics as a concept.”
-Yahtzee Crowshaw (Zero Punctuation)
man loves posting at 3 am
Twitch - “Write that down”
JFC the sheer amount of facts dropped in this 13m vid is insane! I don't think i've ever sat infront of a video and nodded more in agreeance with what the person was saying.
There are gonna be a ton of small streamers who'll spend hundreds of dollars in order to boost and end up only retaining 10 viewers long term. This is really predatory...
I know it's hard to remember but two things. 1 Twitch is owned by Amazon who are the BEST at extracting the maximum amount of money from a service and 2 just like most all social media you are the product. Twitch is the same way, where instead of all your data it's literally just your money.
as a programmer i can confirm that we often tell others that our bugs are features.
what if twitch makes a yt like section but for clips, no matter how old the clips are or even if u don't follow the creators who wouldn't mind just going thru random omegalul clips, since they are short it will lead to more people watching them and so influx of new viewers + it will increase exposure for smaller platforms or streamers
The problem with this system is that it doesn’t solve the issue, all that’s going to happen is that the popular people who have viewers who constantly give money will receive recommendations, leading to just effectively a repeat of what’s at the top of the page.
UA-cam: hit the like and subscribe button it’s free
Twitch: yea that’ll be $6
Insane how Jump King man is so smart
Good old Scamwig always knows when there’s a scam about
2:28 S3K got into a Ludwig video
welp...someone took this title too seriously lol
Maybe even a raid random button where it raids a random streamer in the same category
I think the worst part of this paid boost thing is the creators don't see any of that money. 100% of it goes to Twitch, and don't get me started on ad revenue.
