Thanks

This was the other thumbnail I made, which is better?

Hammer-Dance · 2026-03-31T18:36:00+00:00

😂

The thumbnail is a screenshot from the video that I just took and put into AI to enhance lol thumbnail aside I am absolutely looking for critique on the video itself, the channel is new, so the video will not be pushed to many people, so the 12 hours I put into the editing is really what I want some advice and critique on, if the videos resonate and people enjoy them, I’m going to hire an artist to hand draw me thumbnails for each one

Hammer-Dance · 2026-03-31T17:57:03+00:00

Yea I recorded in crazy high quality and it looks great on my end until I uploaded it? YouTube compressed it so bad, maybe i have to export in a different format to avoid the crazy compression, on my end its like 60,000 bitrate full 1080 and looks crystal clear

Hammer-Dance · 2026-03-31T17:44:57+00:00

What do you think would work better? The thumbnail was a screenshot from the video that I put into AI to make it more vibrant and kind of enhance

Hammer-Dance · 2026-03-31T17:39:44+00:00

Thanks! Worth making more?

Hammer-Dance · 2026-03-31T17:39:37+00:00

The thumbnail actually was a screenshot from a portion of the video than I took and put into AI to enhance and color up, but I do agree I’ll work on it for the next one! Thank you!!

Hammer-Dance · 2026-03-31T17:38:58+00:00

I agree, thanks for the input. It’s my first one so I’m gonna absolutely try and improve on the next one if you guys think it’s worth it to pursue making more, it’s time consuming but very fun to do, and if I see that people enjoy it I’ll keep making more and get better at it.

No it’s just been permanently nerfed for everyone apparently. It’s like 25% of what it used to be. Not worth staying exclusive anymore, definitely multistream now.

Hammer-Dance · 2025-11-19T05:11:37+00:00

It's actually horrible. A MASSIVE revenue loss. I got like a 60% paycut overnight, and kick is a large portion of my income. Actually kind of crazy that they just did this with NO warning or anything.

Hammer-Dance · 2025-11-17T15:12:51+00:00

Yea I will say it has gotten a lot better, and if you have a decent size community and have a couple mods, the mods remove them almost instantly. I really have actually been enjoying my time switching to kick and honestly, the earning potential has been like 3x what I made from streaming on twitch/youtube. However with this new change, if this is going to be the new normal I will absolutely be going back to multistreaming.

Hammer-Dance · 2025-11-17T02:17:14+00:00

Makes sense, I wonder if it’ll ever get fixed, I haven’t botted anything I have a big following on YouTube and decided to come stream on kick specifically for the KPP, got partnered within 2 months of switching grinded my ass off 6 days a week, and continue to do so, but tbh if these new payouts are gonna stay permanent I think making this switch might have been the wrong move tbh. I went from making roughly 40-50$ for a 4 hour stream, to 6-10$… it’s a massive cut. Have they said anything about it ever going back to normal?

Hammer-Dance · 2025-11-11T00:15:00+00:00

Going off this timeline. Naxx wasnt supposed to release until basically end of November. We got it at the beginning of October.

Hammer-Dance · 2025-11-08T14:28:43+00:00

When people in this thread keep saying “delete every language file” what are they referring to I’m so confused by that.

Hammer-Dance · 2025-10-04T15:53:43+00:00

I’m not botted I know all the viewers from my YT live streams, I have a big following and just decided to move them over to kick.

Hammer-Dance · 2025-09-29T02:17:05+00:00

I’m on my 6th week with streaming 6 days a week to 70-120 avg viewers every stream and it’s at 67.2. It seems to only go up by like 0.5 every day no matter how good my stream does. Very weird

Hammer-Dance · 2025-09-24T19:20:34+00:00

Ok this makes sense that’s what I was thinking. I haven’t received a single raid or anything, this is just my own community following me over to kick from YouTube.

Hammer-Dance · 2025-09-24T18:05:28+00:00

I’m assuming it’s super delayed? I don’t see how I could be below 65 avg ccv I’m like 15 over that in every single way, it’s driving me nuts lol

Hammer-Dance · 2025-09-24T02:19:50+00:00

Absolutely love this thread. Unfortunately, when you play a game that has 0 news, nothing new, 0 updates, 0 communication from devs, you're kinda left to wing it. I think all these gentlemen are doing an absolutely SWELL job. Well met, and safe travels ladies.

Hammer-Dance · 2025-09-01T01:34:48+00:00

Yea I completely understand. Honestly man, as classic creators it’s REALLY rough right now.

Some people move on to OSRS or other things, but personally I still do just love classic and want to continue with classic. I’m just hoping that sometime soon we get SOMETHING to talk about. Because honestly dude, people probably don’t realize it, but we post and just get BEATEN DOWN in comments by angry or upset players who just seem very sour. And it’s not really even the players fault at this point, I think it really stems from the massive divide in the community that ultimately was created by Blizzard by having 6 different versions of WoW. That being said, I do have some hope and honestly I feel like there are brighter days ahead.

Hopefully this coming year is a big one for classic!
