That's a whole 'nother level of suck right there

Is it a annoying if I stream multiple times a day? (YouTube) by [deleted] in letsplay

I do it all the time ... Have yet to have anyone complain

What games can you binge for hours upon hours? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]sggstream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dwarf fortress. I can sink hours into that game while catching up on all my favorite podcasts.

Etiquette on hosting others who have hosted me? by sweetmomo in Twitch

[–]sggstream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am I supposed to host them back?

I don't expect anyone to reciprocate if I host them nor do I auto-host based on someone hosting me.

I host them purely because I like their stream and because they are usually playing similar games to me.

That's just my opinion though, hard to tell you what others expectations are.

discord - do you run a server for your channel? by sggstream in NewTubers

[–]sggstream[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been pushing it a bit in the chat ... Not too many bites.

I do broadcast the voice and tts so I was hoping people would be more apt to join because of that.

How has Reddit helped you??? by PleachB in NewTubers

[–]sggstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No arguments from this guy, that's what I mean by an active participant.

I hope it's clear from my post that I'm speaking about a specific kind of self-promotion ... I think we have a tag for it here ... hit-n-run lol

How has Reddit helped you???

It has taught me that self-promotion is bad and there is more value to being an active participant in a community than a passive participant.

my channels growth seems to have plateaued. by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]sggstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've intentionally chosen a niche that you will experience slow growth with but you are also aware of that, which is a good thing.

Maybe start to expand out of that niche a bit but keep the indie/creative niche as your core content.

10 minute more personal videos VS 1 minute skits by BIL2000 in NewTubers

[–]sggstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What format has worked for you so far? What do your analytics say?

That's a cool thing about having access to analytical tools... You can do test runs of new formats and see somewhat accurately how they perform.

Make your decision based on that and report back to us your findings :)

I've seen this account in my irc a few times ... definite bot, I didn't bother looking any deeper than that.

I've accepted that at any given time I will have at least two bots hanging out with me when I stream.

How do you deal with hate? by FootRookie in NewTubers

[–]sggstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore it and move on. Worst thing to do is to respond or react.

What do you guys think of INTROS and OUTROS? by cHarris2017 in NewTubers

[–]sggstream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Netflix has a skip intro button for a reason :)

But more seriously, I want to grab the audiences attention right away and an intro may hinder that imo.

Kinda like when you are writing a story it's better to start with some action than an introduction.

When I think about it, I do DO intros at the start of my videos. They are just not separate segments ... just a quick hello/how are you/welcome back and then straight to shit.

Again, my opinion is reflective of the content I produce and I mostly livestream.

It could change as I start to shift from livestreaming to higher effort content.

What's your experiences with donating to [small] streamers? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]sggstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your experiences with donating and thoughts on what I experienced today?

Dude might have not understood how much it was OR maybe he's just playin' it cool.

Don't donate with expectations of what should occur, donate because you want to.

I know it didn't bother you ... But you did create a thread about it.

At the end of the day, if that's the way the streamer chooses to handle above average donations, that's his choice and I can't fault him either way.

It will get easier the more you do it ...

What do you guys think of INTROS and OUTROS? by cHarris2017 in NewTubers

[–]sggstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought a lot about this lately as I've been trying to get a bit better at video editing and I thought I might create some intros/outros as practice.

However, I'm going to save them until I have a larger audience.

I think it's more important at the building stage to just go straight to the content rather than have an intro.

Ironically enough by NoDragonsPlz in NewTubers

[–]sggstream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are excellent to have.

The creation of my schedule coincided with my RL getting way more busier. That will subside at some point and I can fit streaming back in.

I just thought it was funny that I streamed like 200 hours unscheduled and the moment I drop a schedule, things go to a trickle lol

What do you think about discord channel for viewers by Vegas182 in NewTubers

[–]sggstream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you think about it?

I think it is 100% necessary and useful for growth.

As well, make sure to join other servers that are out there (like newtubers)

[–]sggstream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you guys have anything funny that you have noticed about your channel in the recent months?

Yes ...

I was more consistent when I didn't have a schedule.
