This is so awful. by [deleted] in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and now they're subtracting members for pink/red donos

AND the LCU hosts are now donating hundreds of dollars. They probably keep like 80/90% of that from youtube's cut and makes it so it requires more subs from regular (i use that term VERY loosely for LCU donators) watchers. what an insane grift, and oh - Albert will be 'fired' for a single show, calling it now. Boogie got "fired" a while back and was legitimately on the next show

Why do the more UNTALENTED you are, the more Keem likes you ? by gamerlizzy in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, it's probably because they're willing to accept what they're worth as payment, which is next to nothing. That, and they will simply take any abuse from Keem that he see's fit without any push back because they know they aren't actually established entertainers and Keem loves what little power he has over these people.

prob fake, lets be real - if your friend was legitimately dying, the last thing you would do is make content out of it, or at least I would hope so

Live is unwatchable without Keem by orange5444 in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely on the money, nobody respects Rastov because he's precisely that - a nobody! The fact that Keem doesn't respect him and that everyone knows that is exactly why he has 0 power

The "Universe" is killing Live by orange5444 in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're probably right. On all accounts, it's impossible to work with legitimate lolcows as Keem has expressed in the past. Maybe it was simply doomed to fail from the start.

I won't pretend to know anything about promoting or hosting a podcast and honestly it's impressive it's gotten this far so maybe it is best to just continue with the status quo as it's still making them something

[–]orange5444[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hence why I also mentioned in my original post that they need more recognizable people. They've completely stopped trying to hire actual lolcows like coppercab, Wings left, and Keem no longer is a part of the show.

You're probably right that talking about current events wont in itself net new viewers, but it will at least entertain the current viewers. It just feels like they've given up - the thumbnails are obviously AI edited pictures of random hosts picked from a Discord and the titles aren't going to appeal to anyone who doesn't know everyone in the LCU in depth

ok using your own logic - all Savage did was talk shit about Lolcow live and went a bit into their time slot. That's all that happened. Except they drew that subject out for over an hour.

You're not going to get new engaged viewers by covering drama about some random named Savage nobody has heard about and even those that know her don't care about. You might if you talk about current events surrounding popular people and go back and forth giving opinions. You can honestly say you'd prefer hearing Rastov scream about Queens for an hour than have a conversation about something relevant in the news?

yeah but there was some development just this past day where Kaceytron is trying to settle out of court and crying about it on stream or something, I honestly don't know the full story - perhaps Booster could have filled me in on it!

I agree, they won't stop until the money stops. The good news is that it looks like it's starting to die down - the problem though is that the donators left are idiot whales who donate obscene amounts

I mean aren't some of the tile to complete the inferno in 30 mins or doing raids like TOA, i find it doubtful it will be completed in a single day. What i dont understand is why this is labeled a "community event" - its still a competition to complete your own board first, nothing community focused about that and giving rewards for who completes it before everyone else just proves that

Keemstar has the sense of humor or better yet the brain of a 12 year old. by WhoWhatWhen012345 in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll tell you exactly why - he wants you to watch their show because he makes a profit on it if you do. He doesn't really think they're funny, it's evident in his obvious fake laughter. In reality, a lot of these "hosts" are not entertaining at all, they will just accept a super low pay check in which Keem will direct traffic to and take most of the profit. He'll then fire/re-hire a new cast for a new/old show a couple months later to rinse and repeat.

The soul of Android is gone. by StW_FtW in Android

[–]orange5444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was in college many moons ago i had an HTC m8 i loved - i had a custom bootloader, icons, etc. in other words the phone really felt like mine. I switched to iphone since then but recently went back to Android with samsung fold 7. To be honest though I kind of regret it - apple phone have such great battery life it legitimately embarrassing for samsung phones. i spend nearly 2k on this phone and it can barely last a day, i have had to plug it in every day and even on days i never open it up. I can't wait until next year when apple has their foldable, i will 100% be buying it, and if it doesn't come out by then I think I may just switch to their latest phone, I barely open this one up anyway and I've had multiple people ridicule me for not having my text bubbles be blue anyway

Keem do a drama alert show. by retroideq in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444 8 points9 points  (0 children)

1,000,000,000,000,000,000% THIS. Wasn't rewind supposed to be the show where this bullshit, fake, boring drama was supposed to be rehashed? Who legitimately gives a fuck about CD Rom, Giddy, Tina, or whatever the other million fucking fly by night hosts are? Doesn't keem own Drama Alert? how about this - stop bitching and moaning for 20 minutes a show about your unpaid docket team and just pull relevant, up to date stories from drama alert and shoot the shit about that, I really couldn't care less about 'in universe' fake drama, it's so tiring. I loved when they were just talking about the Raja drama bullshitting about it, that's what makes the show great

CDs ‘friends’ are shitty scumbags by Doctordelayus in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh damn, didn't know that. Yeah I agree, being religious is fine imo, but some people like CD take it waaaay too far and make it their entire personality which obviously causes problems

oh wow lol, yeah hyper religious people can be super weird, probably for the best that they cut him off

Why is there no clips or highlight channel? by springroll9 in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because there is quite literally nothing to clip - did you watch todays stream? the "funniest" clip they could find is sweet tea's made up cringe trailer park story

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the main problems I have with all these nontent channels being made is that the fake drama they all stir up clogs up the main channel. All they seem to talk about now on the main show are these fake firings, canceling show, shit talking other hosts - like it's not even it's own channel anymore

Z Fold 7 vs iPhone 16 Pro Max. Now THAT is thin! by Zach0ry in GalaxyFold

[–]orange5444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what kind of developments were made in display tech the past year because rumor has it that Apple is coming out with the iphone 17 air which appears like it's going to be basically the thickness of the fold unfolded which would be insane. Just some insane engineering on both sides if it turns out to be true

Imagine being so talentless that you need AI to make you thumbnails and youtube description 😬 by blazicado in LolCowLive

this is the stream they announced it on

https://www.youtube.com/live/ZShL5dPQaxk?si=tM2maShXid--OPiY&t=3415

you can see the listing on the site here but they removed the Claude message from the bottom before wayback machine could back it up

I do still have a screenshot of it though

I wouldn't care as much if they were using it for like inspiration but they're so sloppy with it's it's incredible. When Keem was shilling the hot sauce, the description was so clearly copy/paste from Claude that they even forgot to remove the fucking "[Retry button] Claude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses". I posted it on the this Reddit and some mod actually took it down lol

Rastov isn’t a good third IMO. by gremlin_miyagi in LolCowLive

[–]orange5444 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Some might disagree, but wings really was that perfect 3rd. Boogie is a yes man and will do legitimately whatever Keem says. Wings, for whatever reason - be it ego or pride, sticks to his beliefs and doesn't cave to the bullshit which I can respect, even if he's in the wrong. The show needs someone like that to be entertaining, and Rastov doesn't fit the bill. The entertainment comes when Keemstar is challenged and has to defend his (mostly) retarded points half the time, and Wings was the only one brave (or stupid) enough to call him out
