general

apparently streamlink gets ads

and crashes

The solution, just force your streamers to run ads via a button

Require them to hit it once an hour

Or they get penalized

that is already a thing

That also sounds dumb

It's optional

Because streamers don't want ads

At all

spooky

theyre already

required to do that

the bigger streamers

in their contracts now

HAVE to do that

lil, that are?

Lol

no one wants ads and they get half revenue from every donation thing on the website

God, why is twitch going this route?

They already get such a huge cut of bits/subs

they want to kill their business

Makes sense with the shit they’ve been pulling

at least twitchls.com seems to keep working

I downloaded the newest streamlink nightly build that supposedly fixed twitch ads and now it plays the ad for a few seconds then crashes

I think people will figure out getting around these

But it might take some time

when Twitch notices a sharp viewer drop off from their apparent ad spam that they are doing now maybe they will abandon this idiocy

like 20 ads per hour according to some people

It's so high so that when they "ease off" and go to 1-2 per hour

They'll seem like the good guy, and lazy people will just accept it

their viewerbase will be 1/5 previous

twitch is probably just being and giving facebook gaming a chance :)

you mean giving youtube even more of a monopoly by being the least obnoxious

yes but youtube is also gay so they will probably fuck something up too

they are still better than Twitch when it comes to DMCA somehow

after years screwing people's careers over their ai has gotten slightly less shit

youtube is probably the better streaming platform atm though

they are basically identical at this point but youtube vods don't suck and twitch keeps fucking up

lol

I wonder how long it will be before some streaming platform that doesn't suck comes in and beats both youtube and twitch

never

it seems like 99% of what youtube and twitch do just irritates people

unless congress monopoly busts youtube for their publisher tendencies

what do you mean by that?

there can be no competitors while Youtube intentionally takes massive losses to make it financially impossible for a competitor to exist

financially impossible by doing what, having monopoly over advertisers?

infrastructure and server farms

ah, yeah I guess that's true

well I guess we get to be stuck with shit platforms

at least youtube doesn't fuck our vtuber overlords as hard

they make their money from superchats and produce their own music

so no issues there

yeah

I have gotten no trick-or-treaters today

do you really want their covid covered hands touching your candy?

I wouldn't be suprised if at least half the country doesn't do anything non virtual for haloween

We'll be starting the Phijkchu "totally-not-a-movie-night" Halloween movie evening in 15 minutes https://phijkchu.live/view/4d088f57-59d2-40b8-9592-5afbabb2113c/
