Null could definitely be a successful mainstream streamer once all the hysteria around trannies turns the corner and people accept they are doing genital lobotomies.

I checked the statistics for the first stream and 66% of traffic came from sidebar suggestions for my subscribers coincidentally on YT at the time. I did plug the new channel and I did announce it in community posts on the main. It's just that, unless you sub, you won't see it.People complained that you didn't plug your gaming channel correctly after streaming the 1st part. It seems to have really hit your numbers. You were at 700+ on part 1.
Also looking forward to more comfy vidya streams. I think Dota's the most boring shit, but you somehow made it watchable.
I feel that people would use this opportunity to make Josh listen to nothing but anime songs.@Null , apologies if I'm forgetting or never heard/noticed that this may have already been addressed, but I have an idea for getting donations in another way that would also be engaging for viewers with an element of reward.
The MATI Jukebox (or Slobbermutt Jukebox, Hamdance Jukebox, whatever) could be fun if the required technical aspects are viable. For some streams at your own discretion, you pick a few songs and put them up for a vote as soon as possible before that stream. A MATI Jukebox thread for Farmers to suggest songs that we'd pay votes towards could help you get some ideas, but not obligate you to pick songs you'd hate. Hell, that thread might make stickers useful. People vote by donating under the song they want, and the song with the most money voted towards it is played as an outro or intro. Any donations that went towards a song that didn't win is either refunded or just not processed in the first place, that way no one feels bitter or cheated.
Maybe it's a dumb idea, IDFK. It's probably dumb since it involves technology and I thought of it. I have no idea if software or other functions for something like this even exist. What do you think?
Nah, he just won't put anime songs up for voting if he doesn't want to. Or do you mean when sifting through the suggestions thread? He could just avoid anything that has a weeby title or thumbnail, I guess. For this reason, I wouldn't blame him if he adopted a policy for refusing to sample directly uploaded audio for consideration.I feel that people would use this opportunity to make Josh listen to nothing but anime songs.
Even subbing won't guarantee that people will see community posts, unfortunately.I checked the statistics for the first stream and 66% of traffic came from sidebar suggestions for my subscribers coincidentally on YT at the time.

Perhaps because no contemporary Youtube developers know what it is, the RSS feed system works well for notifications. The MATI feed will, like the rest, generally update within a few minutes - at this point, I don't have a Google account and handle video feeds entirely through RSS.Even subbing won't guarantee that people will see community posts, unfortunately.
Youtube is really shitty with its notification system. I've been an hour into a MATI and suddenly got a notification for the stream I was currently watching. Community posts are even worse: sometimes I'll get a ping when a post first gets released by a channel I'm subscribed to, other times I'll get notified several days later.
I don't know it all this is intentional (like YT is purposefully holding back notifications for certain channels) or if YT is just shit, but I've made it a habit of checking my subscriptions manually every day instead of relying on youtube to notify me. Can't do that with community posts tho.
Alright here's the non-gay reasons I don't like it. I have shit to do so I can't always watch live but I want to see chat. I also archive these streams and if chat isn't on screen then at best I can get a live-chat json from yt-dlp. There's no real way to integrate that or play it with the video that I know of and any other archives are probably going to be missing chat entirely.This is too gay and parasocial. I know the idea of "if you don't like it, don't watch" is a cliche but if Null started a faceblog and exclusively discussed Linux I just wouldn't tune in because it's not to my interest.
Worrying about a grown man's life changing by becoming a "generic youtuber" is unnecessary. He's a big boy, he can handle making diverse content. If it sucks, no one will show up.
Are people really getting "immersed" in the game when jersh is making jokes about sargoyles and the sound effects are turned down so he can talk over them? I'm not buying it. I also don't think 'it's extra so if you don't like it just don't watch it' really apply when you're changing something that already exists. I liked the life is strange streams in no small part because they still had their chat.It's a spooky horror game, you can't get immersed if you have a bunch of dudes spamming the n-word on the side the entire time. I think removing the chat for videogame streams is a good decision. It's not like this is replacing the friday streams, it's just an optional bonus you don't have to watch if you don't want to.
