🐟 Fishtank Sam Hyde's Fishtank.live General - Jet Neptune's Little House of Horrors

[curbside2]

Gradually, I began to hate them.

Minor cow crossover: it will probably come to nothing, but graf (admin of poa.st) is claiming he can host the whole thing for about $10k, and told Wyatt to have Jet contact him.

Spoiler: some poasts

I'm mostly mentioning this to show that Sam didn't have to go with an expensive solution, there are custom ways to do this for much cheaper. Graf/Poast has a streaming platform on poast.tv that Null used for MATI (before getting defederated), plus some other small podcasts. He's been tweaking a custom CDN service for months, so it's credible estimate of what's possible.

Doing it without the chat is probably a deal breaker, chat has never worked on poast.tv beyond 50 users or so. Null could probably help there, but getting all 3 together is probably impossible at this point.

That guy graf is a drunk weeb that regularly flies off the handle and starts smashing up his own platform. Fuck him.

if this somehow goes through, I give it a week tops before graf has an autistic meltdown at sam and boots him off.

Graf basically needs to leave Canada and stop being a massive bitch.

I work a long hard day(spending half my time on my phone shitposting here) and all I want to do is get home, tap on the fishtank and look at the bug eyed freaks spaz out.

God damn it.

To add to the restreaming slap fight, the people using mpv / vlc were saving him bandwidth vs the official site, since they weren't opening all the feeds at the same time like the jank website did. Ironically, if the site were designed better no one would have been using mpv / vlc in the first place.

To be fair the design was cool. Just more cool than Sam can afford lol

Concidering Hydes recent loli rant not so sure this would work out.

[yoursavior]

Is this a momentum killer or do you think he can save it?

Bit ironic now considering he was talking about fucking up opportunities.

I realize I'm being an out of touch idealist here but the ability to flip through the feeds at a moment's notice was incredibly cozy and part of the charm for me. Whole website was incredibly cool front-end-wise but back-end was definitely not thought through. This is coming from someone who never watches.

its probably gonna boost viewership for the day that it goes back up at least

The story of Sam Hyde is good projects cut off too soon. I hope this isn’t the case again.

 

[Raw Onion Enjoyer]

Since the beginning people were complaining about every camera being streamed even while watching only one feed and needlessly using bandwidth. They didn't care enough to fix that and it came back to bite them lol.

 

[gildersleeve]

If he can do what he previously claimed, and get it set up in a day then yes. Hopefully sam will keep the other hosting in the back pocket and keep it paid just incase graf's solution blows up.

As people pointed out. If instead of the previews all just being live videos they could have just had it send out updated images at certain intervals and only activate the full video when you click on the stream.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

 

[valence]

Probably the first L that Sam genuinely took in a long time. Really dropped the ball this time.

They were so wholly unprepared, it's genuinely surprising... did sam really do no research into how to finance / appropriately host fishtank responsibly? I don't doubt he figured he could jew his paypigs. I mean God damn, like 70$ for a TTS? Lmao.

Despite his many flaws, dude is very good at this stuff. Not sure if he's ready for this level though.
