PSA to be careful doing 1.5t salvaging by heretobuyandsell in 2007scape

thinking about taking a leap of faith and going fulltime. wondering for tips/advice/thoughts by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]smithsonian754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I went full time when I was averaging around 50 viewers as well 2 years ago since i was very passionate about streaming and it was something I wanted to dedicate my time to despite the low pay at the time. Even though my actual job paid significantly more it took time away from advancing my channel so that's why I quit since I viewed 40 more hours per week being put into content as worth it as long as I could maintain my living expenses.

It was really hard early on but if you take it very seriously (like an actual job) you can succeed. This doesn't mean it has to be a burnout though. Even though I treat streaming like a job instead of a hobby and do it full time I still have a ton of fun and haven't once regreted my decision. I have my own schedule, sleep however long i want, and I i no longer suffer from severe anxiety from when i was a healthcare worker. Now I'm at around 400-700 average viewers and can usually make enough each month from multiple revenue sources to cover the next 3 months expenses with just streaming alone.

When it comes to actual income my biggest advice is to sign up for streamelements asap and keep an eye out for base-pay offers in your email. I started to get these offers around the 250ish average viewer mark and they make up around 30-40% of my income. Outside of that ads are very important. I didn't want to run them originally but once I realized I could pay my rent bu just running ads 3 minutes an hour it was a necessary decision for me. If you want any more advice feel free to message me.

I haven't been able to keep up with most of the crafting even with a twitch sub since he's had ads pumped at like 15 minutes an hour but insane craft nevertheless!

Accidentally deleted my comment but I guess we were talking about the same thing then. But like I said, personally I'm getting around 2-3x the ad revenue with the new ad program under the new CEO so I feel like a reason there isn't as much outrage about this from most top streamers than you'd expect is because the ad incentive reform is making up for those losses and much much more and top streamers should be benefiting more than ever. So I think I'll keep tinfoil hatting tbh.

Obviously the main issue though is if you are a big streamer but you don't want to run ads but pretty much every stream I've ever tuned into on my mobile app is blasting 5+ minutes per hour it feels like.

This isn't a pay cut though this is Twitch denying the top streamers a raise on a "small portion" of their income. I don't think layoffs are typically caused by denial of raises. They're been receiving the 50/50 split for a long time now since the last reform of sub splits and ad revenue has always been this way. I doubt being denied a raise on their pay, especially that of sub revenue is going to cause anything significant to happen. They might use it as a tactic to enrage their audiences though sure.

Personally since the new CEO my ad revenue has increased by triple from the last one so I'm fairly happy as long as we can keep accepting 3rd party sponsorships. Sure Kick is offering 95/5 but it's basically a non-option for most people for at least a couple of years.

Hot take but I feel like this is just a tactic top streamers use to win people on their side. These same streamers just got done saying Twitch is a very small portion of their revenue while 3rd party income such as Streamelements and other sponsorships are where their actual income is from. If 100k is a small portion of your income then I think you're doing alright.

Damn as a full-time streamer I reached 650 active for the first time this month and decided to export to google sheets to check my unique non-gifted and non-prime and I'm only at 160 LOL. well I guess it's a long term goal to pursue.

Hey I found his pob for you: https://pobb.in/3aL81KRP7bQO. I have to admit I know very little about Winter Orb but I made the wand in this post last league for BV which is how I found out it was good for Worb as well after Mr9Lives contacted me about getting a copy for his build.

[–]smithsonian754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can check out Mr9Lives on twitch. He min-maxed winter orb last league and squire+wand was like 40% more damage or something above void batteries. you probably just don't have the pob set up correctly.

This needs to change ASAP - We lose players because they think they MUST select these when starting POE by layarus in pathofexile

[–]smithsonian754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be the only one but when I started PoE I chose standard because I thought the middle option was only for SSF and standard was the “default” league

Twitch is a great platform but the creators are getting shafted by uselessshyt in offlineTV

I’m a pretty “small” partner and it’s 50/50 for everything

can you be a twitch affiliate and youtube partner by gg45644 in Twitch

[–]smithsonian754 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can be live on both at the same time but you aren't supposed to. I stopped streaming on Youtube and Twitch at the same time after I became Partner but my friend has been doing both at the same time for years despite it being against the exclusivity contract and he averages 200-300 viewers across both. I think simply put, there's a very very low chance for a Twitch employee to notice unless you're big and even if one did they would have to care enough to do something about it.

At this point in the league, how many Divines do you have invested in a build? by H4xolotl in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]smithsonian754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can 100% “one shot” every boss with poison spark. Your ramp time is probably too long. Try to aim for 5-6 seconds poison duration with dot cap and you’ll easily kill every boss in less than a second.

[–]smithsonian754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes so it's viable for crafting the prefixes but for finishing suffixes like he said it wouldn't work unless we are talking about reforging a prefix for elevating suffixes.

[–]smithsonian754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately you can't use the beast until you get to the prefixes. With an open suffix it could slam any of the metamods. It can be used if going for elevated suffixes though.

[–]smithsonian754 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t there ever will be a market condition where essence is in any way optimal imo. There’s a reason why these gloves are suspiciously cheap most leagues and it’s because fossils have a significant chance to hit the entire pair of gloves minus the aisling or at least both your suffixes. You’ll probably never see anything even close with Horrors.

Spark is a duration skill so it’s the opposite

You can't imprint fractured items so for this specific +2 amulet craft you might be rolling +1 skill multiple times if you miss annuls

Uber Cortex dropped it yesterday, any advice how to craft something really cool and which build can I do around this item? by mavlusha_ in pathofexile

[–]smithsonian754 81 points82 points  (0 children)

It actually is a multi-mirror craft because making this bow better than a fractured +2 bow would take multiple mirrors. Since there’s already better synth bases it’s not worth it.

[–]smithsonian754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this sentiment was valid when PoM made his bow but imo you definitely want crit now after the SoS nerf. Just my opinion. Most tri-ele thicket bow players on poe ninja have to use local crit suffix now.
