Sam tweeting how they're water boarding Jon right now feels suspicious. I absolutely do not doubt Sam's ability to fuck up his project and drain his bank accounts on basic issues. Still smells fishy though, especially with how much he grfited viewers with TTS pricing and coins bundles.
It's part of the sketch they came up with and they said they were gonna practice it during the evening.
 
you’re not paying to serve the stream to google, you’re paying for google to serve the stream to all your viewers.
I get that, but you have to think of how many things probably have equal or higher loads and wouldn't be feasible. How much data usage does something like WoW take compared to a $15 monthly sub?

Maybe he just has shitty over use fees, but I'd assume it would be $100k a month not a week.

Except that they were talking about dressing up like Sadam Huessin earlier and then Jon said they could waterboard him because he's been waterboarded before

Video is a different beast. In world of warcraft, most of the data exists client side and it's just positional info and inputs getting sent to and from the server.
 
Aren't there free and open source alternatives? Would that be viable or are they full of flaws as well?
If there were free and open source alternatives to the complexities of webhosting, this site would not have been vulnerable to being taken down by corporations. Hell, KF is among the few sites that try to avoid reliance on a third party back end and even then it was still vulnerable to those sorts of attacks.
Ideas on how to not fuck the bandwidth [JET BIC ETC. GET ONE OF YOUR PET DUMBASSES TO STOP VAPING FOR TWO MINS AND READ THIS]
  • Send out jpeg caps of the cams taken every few seconds for the overview
  • Maybe keep that going in the background in place of streaming every fucking feed at the same time silently
  • If people are confirmed sleeping maybe have some motion detection going on so it just pauses on a still frame and cuts to mic feed only
  • Cut the restreamers out of the picture how the hell did you guys not see that coming
  • Turn on the metal band and drag queen fishtoys so we can wake them up at 4am with the terror combo
Restreamers are probably actually saving them bandwidth, if somebody's watching it on Twitch and broadcasting to 100 viewers, that's 100 who aren't taking bandwidth from the actual site.
 
I doubt Sam is out of money. Likely that one account is out of money. And a large transfer would take time to process... and it is after business hours on Thursday. So Monday.

Assuming it isn't a joke.
Sam is supposedly a millionaire, but that doesn't mean he'll fork over another $400,000. He's a retard for trusting Google anyways. He should have shopped around more.
Apparently the poast admin is trying to contact Sam, because he has a way to cut down on costs.

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
