"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
The point of DLive is for DLive to make shekels.
They were more free for like a day after Ralph used it, then they introduced some BS hate speech policy.

Not really, when the Killstream moved, they got warned off day two; they changed their ToS specifically to shake them away from the site. The site is just another draconian Twitch competitor to soak up some easy money and then fuck off when interest dies out.

So, they're basically Twitch, but with cryptominers? I don't even know what the point is, then.

The point is easy money. They were mining (not their own linocoin, which isn't a real cryptocurrency, but something else) on peoples machines until they got larger investments, which they then used to court PewDiePie. They're going to ride this out, and when it fizzles they'll shutter. Just like stream.me with Keemstar or Vid.me with whoever they got.
 
God damn it, I was looking forward to listening to this when I got home. I wish null could just host his own streaming website...
Me too, but he's tweeted about how hard it would be to do that. I really hope the streams don't stop.
 
@Null Please for the love of god record the episode and upload it here. I need my weekly dose of internet exceptionalism, especially since it's about someone I'm very familiar with.
It's still available on demand on Dlive here:


And if that gets shoahed in the near future, I was able to download an MP4 with youtube-dl and can share it if need be.

This is a common meme, but I've yet to see any evidence of it. Dlive is scummy, but I don't think they were that scummy.

I don't know man, what the fuck else was riding up those GPU usages into 70+% for anyone using the site? My guess is that they started with the crypto mining until they got solid investment, then stopped. It's what I'd do if I was a group of Turkish and Chinese web developers eating out of trashcans while trying to build a site. It's not like the people behind the project are any less shifty either.
