Streaming (Twitch.tv , etc)

[OursIsTheFury]

Only twitch stream I have watched in my life is the Pokemon twitch game where thousands of players tried to play one Pokemon game. It lead to many trends like the Almighty Helix, and it was a really fun time all in all to be a Pokemon fan. You had people who wanted to work together to win, and you also had people who wanted to work together just so everyone else can lose. It was a good study on human and social nature, and what people do for teamwork and progress' sake.

I don't stream. Although I really did want to start streaming at one point through Twitch, I even made a few covers and logos for my profile but I never really got into it to be honest. It's just too much effort to get into streaming as you have to work really hard at the start to get constant views and try to get a loyal fanbase. The other problem is that you really do need a lot of time when you're streaming. You can just stream 15 minutes of gameplay, sometimes you have to play for hours on end to get a decent amount of viewers.

It is a good way to earn money though if you do do well. Sponsorships and donations can make you a lot of money.

I don't stream anything myself, but I enjoy following some streamers from time to time. Recently, some voice actors like Kyle McCarley have joined Twitch to stream games they have worked on, and watching them was a very original and insightful experience. Aside from them, speedrunners are the ones I enjoy following the most (OoT speedruns were so exciting to watch): the way they fiddle around with games and turn them inside out is amazing.

I have never tried streaming. I just don't really think that I'd enjoy it because I don't like the attention that you get with it. I feel like it can get you distracted from the actual game since you have to be somewhat entertaining and interact with your chat.

However, I watch streams all the time. Almost always on Twitch.tv, rarely also on YouTube. Often I even spend more time watching streams than playing the actual games, haha!

I think streaming is amazing because you can find any type of game you want to watch - even the really old runs, or speedruns. I used to watch hours and hours of the Zelda speedruns. It is also really good when brand new games get released and you aren't sure whether you'd like a certain game or not. A simple solution is to just watch a stream of it.

There is definitely a lot of money in streaming. Just look at the biggest Twitch streamers like Lirik, Sodapoppin, Cohh and more. They all earn more than my own parents do by doing the regular 8 hours work shifts.

I have mostly streamed Wolfestein and CS GO. So whenever we are doing some team work that is when I am streaming the stuff. There usually comes lag for me in this part of the world. But overall the streaming works well for me. I think twitch and OBS combo is working out for me. So that is indeed a good option.

Streaming is a nice way to spend time, I like very much the way streaming videogames has give support to the community of gaming, it has grown a lot and it's fun to see that there are a lot of people who watch/stream games.

I used to do allot of YouTube gaming videos as you can do more creating content and add affects then the videos gets uploaded and you have the video online for ever as for streaming you don't get that. However as google changes and time goes on, it's more harder to get earnings and it's started to wast my time and one day I started to get into streaming more.

And so I have been streaming on Twitch and Mixer for the past 6 months allot more then I used to make in the old days. Also what makes me to stream more now that year ago or more I did not had the internet to able to stream.

Been watching a lot of streamers but have never started doing it, I want to but just seems like quite a bit of effort haha

I don't stream because of the high cost of data and the slow servers but i have a few friends who have a twitch account. I also love going on YouTube for streams and there are some pretty interesting channels there too.

I livesteam every once in awhile on YouTube. I don't use a mic most of the time though so it's just the game. I stream just to see how many people I can get to watch at the same time. It's usually not that many lol. I usually stream games like Smite, Call of Duty, and Uncharted 4. I watch streams more than I actually stream. I like watching streams of games I'm thinking of buying or want to buy but don't want to buy yet.

Im following this twitch streamer currently named Alninio9 and he's a League Of Legends played that mains Katarina. Got interested in playing Katarina and that what led me to his channel on Twitch. He streams everyday and is all around a cool person.

I also watch Player's Unknown Battlegounds games on twitch but I don't follow a particular channel about it. I just really love that game so sometimes I just browse by game titles and watch whoever is streaming the game.

I don't normally stream, when I have lots of games to play. I will rather play online games than streaming

I tried streaming once along time ago on a stupid idea of playing every NES game from A-Z and that was a dumb idea. I got no views from that as well so I kind of gave up very quick.
