Posted this in the Yang Gang thread in A&H but Jim was just dunking on them:

He’s not wrong. When black people chimp out, they burn down stores and listen to some of that urban music.
When white people chimp out, they build death factories and sing “Grün ist unser Fallschirm.”
 
Saw this come up in my recommendations recently. Think its an old video the host only just got around to uploading. Some interesting tidbits in there.

Jim confirmed for old school Brood War fan.

Also - motherfucker has 70 youtube channels. Jesus.

If Jim has that many channels it's fair to say that there's a lot of throwaways however some of may remember Jim talking about how to use the algorithm to your advantage so I think it's also fair to say he was speaking from experience.

Now if Jim knows all this I'm thinking he's making a lot of money, hence no proper Jim streams, so there's really only one thing to do if we want those streams, we find his other channels and mass report them depriving him of his other revenue streams, essentially we re=dox Jim, it's fool proof.

I'm sure if we all work together it's possible, so let's get to it and start finding those channels lads...I'll supervise, good luck.
 
I miss stream.me

I checked his Patreon and it seems that he might have an alternate source of income these days. There have been times he's gone as high as around $3,700 per month at Patreon (i.e. when he has a steady stream of vids coming out), but he's sitting at a little under $2500 per month. He must be a bit more financially secure these days, otherwise we'd see more output than just streams (when he doesn't seem to care that he's losing about $1200 a month, he must have funds coming from somewhere else).

Although it's too bad stream.me got nuked, I had been meaning to watch a few those streams that I've missed.
 
It’s really that hard to find a streaming alternative, huh. I remember when I followed this vidya tournament called the 4chan cup, and it seemed easier to find alternatives to twitch years ago. Hashd (which quickly died), hitbox, which then became smashcast...is livestream still a thing?

I'm like 99% sure that he has a non-internet job, and that he just does jewtube when he's not working or vidjaing

After seeing that "A Chat with Mister Metokur," I'm wondering if he showed his hand a little and he runs some other popular YouTube channel(s) that bring in a more consistent income and the actual "Jim" content is just a hobby. He was talking about how easy it is to get subscribers with top ten/listicle-type content; maybe he was speaking from experience. (Given his distinctive voice, that content would have to be either voiceless or using farmed-out VO work…)

Here's some alternatives I know of.
  • Mixer - Seems to have a higher proportion of gaming-only content than others.
  • Good ol' Dlive
  • Vimm.tv - Interestingly, it's integrated with the Steem blockchain, which Dlive was before it went off and did its own (possibly fake) thing.
  • Bitwave - I think Dispatch (of Ralph-related Stream.me drama) is building this one. It seems to currently be incomplete. It seems to be hosting a rather New Zealand-unfriendly video on the front page, though.

Mixer is Microsoft's twitch.tv competitor - there's not a chance they would let any of Jim's content fly on there. There's also not a chance that Jim would fly under the radar there, either, because his audience would be able to push him into being one of the largest channels on the platform.

You don't really need personal experience to recognise that. Besides just generally knowing that type of content gets cheap views, I noticed at one point that multiple Youtubers I knew were running such channels as a side gig without even advertising it.

If he was trying to make money through Youtube, the first much easier step would be to just enable ads on his main channel.

I think the more likely scenario is that he was making more money than we think through superchats and now has significant savings, got a real job again or both.

Never heard of it. These stupid motherfuckers realize, don't they, that the only possible reason you'd go anywhere other than Twitch is for the kind of content it doesn't allow?

They pimp it all of the time during Microsoft events, but I can understand not wanting to watch one of those in the last couple of years.

I'm not sure if it was a startup that MS bought early on or if they designed it from the ground up, but it started out as "Beam" and was supposed to be a simple to use, all-in-one streaming package (compared to Twitch + OBS/xSplit + plugins + streamlabs + whatever else). It seems like OK software and can be used directly from XBOX 1 consoles.

There is no app/support for PlayStation 4 and it looks like the Mixer audience is roughly 1%-2% the size of the twitch audience, so there'a a lot of effort and not much to show for it. If they had the idea when they had Xbox 360 levels of market share, though, it would likely be huge.

Either way, if Jim showed up on Mixer for a monday morning stream and got 7k people, he would be more popular than Fortnite on that platform. Someone would immediately take notice.

Oh, the management beheading over that would be delicious.

"Let me get this straight: Billions of dollars have been made on the back of Fortnite in the last year and some sperg from Minnesota surprise streaming on our platform about a TV show that last aired nearly 40 years ago pulling in more viewers than our actual Fortnite streamers? What the fuck are you doing in that office all day, son?"
 
Jimjam said it all when he mentioned "jocktober" when questioned about his affinity for hanging around donga pre and during the trainwreck. Jim was literally just filling the void opie and anthony/stern left as both shows dissolved. There is a fuckmassive untapped audience for shooting the shit and lambasting goofy bullshit with a aural or visual media and jim just happened to know this. hell that audience is soo big fucking chip chipperson, a falloff jim norton bit from opie and anthony, arguably has a bigger audience in the present with prerecorded podcasts than opie and anthony did themselves in live 2014.

What we saw with stream.me is just the tail end of the endless spiral of censorship that has ruined comedy completely over the past two decades. Thanks to broadcast companies being absolute bitches that fold to any special interest group and actual special interest groups like the ADL: streaming services were the last bastion of broadcasted humor.
