Microsoft is shutting down Mixer and partnering with Facebook Gaming - curb your enthusiasm & monopoly & Only thing to Stop it is end of Section 230&house always Wins

Should never habe been a thing to begin with. OTOH, hopefully they have some hirable skills when the whole streaming thing comes to an end, just recently I did read about some YouTuber who dropped out of college to become a youtube star, albeit he is very successful but still, I would have finished college first. Just to have a plan B.
It's better just to make some kind of offline living and have hobbies on the weekend.
Her post is full of people saying they're failing or failed since Mixer. And saying "get a job"
 
That and on launch Forza horizon 4 integration to speed up leveling up.
I would bring up the Mixer app on my phone, set it to audio only, mute the speaker and just let it go while I slept. Easy level ups.

They should give out a special edition car for those of us who made it to Mixer level 20 on FH4.
think MIxer could have been a success if MIcrosoft
Mixer was never gonna be successful, EVER. If you can't sell your streaming service during a worldwide pandemic where everyone is stuck at home desperately needing entertainment, you can't sell it ever.

All of their top streamers sans the ones they stole from Twitch were aggressively bland and uninteresting.

Some people tried really hard to be wacky and gross like Eggheadman to get the booger and fart loving kids but it just failed to happen.

I've yet to see what happened to the mixer points for Hi-Rez games like Smite and Paladins. I got a few skins for leaving that on while I was at work.

The DMCA crackdown on Twitch basically nuked the entirety of each streamers' clips/VOD page, resulting in a huge rush of YT channels uploading this content to farm ad revenue. With most streamers operating their own clips/VOD channel, I think there will probably be a skirmish over this old content and where it gets to live. Whether streamers decide to employ DMCA to fight these channels has yet to be seen.

Although it took a few months after Mixer shut down, Twitch has now started upping the number of ads shown to viewers. They've also locked out workarounds to prevent certain ads from showing. The information around this is fuzzy, but my theory is that all Twitch partners have negotiated a deal that the larger X% cut of sub revenue they get, the more pre & mid-roll ads get served to non-subs. I was watching someone play in a tournament and endured roughly 6 to 8 ads over a 15-20 minute period. I missed the final round of one of the games thanks to 3 roughly 30 second ads playing back-to-back. From reading the chat in the channels, it's happening to a lot of people.

If Twitch is still being ran at a loss, then I suspect some kind of major change to the fundamental operation of the platform in the near future to attempt to turn a profit.

In addition, people have reported that if you try to use an Adblocker on Twitch, i.e. UBlock Origin, Twitch will limit the resolution of the streams you can watch to 480p.

The Twitch dmca thing needs its own thread but I'd make a bad op.
At this point I can see that even bleeps and bloops, fouls and blunderups are getting copyright strikes and there are streamers who exclusively do games with music as its focus, Just Dance, Grand Thot Auto, etc.

Harmonix just launched a music heavy game called Fuser that needs streamer hype at the worst time possible.
 
Given how all-in Twitch is going with DMCAs, I wonder if someone will end up getting a DMCA because of music that is actually in the game that they are playing, i.e. a WoW streamer getting DMCA'd because he/she enabled the in-game music.

More people are learning that their Mixer success wasn't real at all and the nonexistent fanbase they had did not follow them to twitch. Thots are leaving a Fortnite focused stream team called "Dk nation" and have never played a game of Fartnite again, returning to vapid cooking, beauty and just chatting streams, almost as if they weren't gamer gurlls at all and were just manipulating viewers

Mixer was the last big streaming supported site that didn't have the artificial stream delay shit youtube and twitch use where it doesnt actually keep you at the true live broadcast point but a few seconds behind (unless you press x2 speed on youtube and then you're good for a bit). That's one of the main reasons why I'm still kinda pissed about it getting killed, but I have a feeling they'd probably add that eventually like youtube and twitch did if it wasn't killed off for the facebook partnership.

Is there a reason for that I'm not getting? I always assumed it was just bad code.

I always thought my internet connection was too slow.

I'm not exactly sure why this was implemented but there's clearly something coded into the players that tries loading you at the point the thing was at when you opened the page, or from when the last time the stream buffered ever so slightly due to server shit was. If you let it stay like that unattended the delay builds up overtime and you end up 30 seconds behind everyone else watching that just tuned into the stream, and they eventually end up with their own unique delays too. I guess the reasoning for this is to make the "experience" smoother or something but I fucking hate it. I realized it wasn't my internet when I pressed 2x speed on a youtube livestream and it zipped forward an entire minute one time despite saying it was "live" on the bottom. twitch doesnt have that option so you're fucked if it does it.
 
I've noticed that thankfully since Mixer shutdown that Fortshite and Battle Royale have reduced in popularity to less annoying levels. That Dk nation thing looks like it's failing quickly. A few of the thots I mentioned are in their late 20s and continue to be bitchy and salty after leaving it but yet can't understand why their post mixer careers are failing. I'm not saying be "Mr Rogers' but shitting all over something that was beneficial for you during most of its existence doesn't exactly make sponsors want to work with you.

For the most part streaming has ruined gaming and making developers create only streamable, vapid multiplayer focused garbage.
The best years of gaming were when they crafted single player or couch co-op for people to gave personal enjoyment of.

I imagine if we have a post-coof world and technology advances into something like the Oasis from Rpo we'll have similar shallow fame chasing shitheads to laugh at.
 
If you want an idea of how well mixer's former top streamers are doing since the shutdown, they're proudly signing up to be gig economy workers.

Many others self destructed way before this.

does doordash do escort delivery or something? cant believe any top streamer that was previously living off it would be happy about being a delivery boy/girl.

Alot of the Mixer streamers bombed after trying to move to twitch. It's been six months of failure
I'll probably be beaming myself when I can return to running a filthy punch press rather than scamming Drizly coupons and lying about being Jewish to get free food.

If doordash or grubhub delivered pussy by God you know I'd put that in the general thread

Being paid by DoorDash to say that, more likely.
For a bit they were bragging of their booming onlyfans. Every thot who signs up always tweets a few weeks later they're in the top x percent. They can't all be the "top" hoes. Haven't seen them flog it in awhile.
My last doordash driver looked like the Aunt May from the 60s Spider-Man comics.
It's all a scam to pimp out wimmins.
In my hometown a now defunct fitness center would have contest kiosks to "win a free membership". You know, you always won 2 weeks.
The salesperson would try harder than a sweaty daterape dude in an 80s sex comedy to get you to commit for a year before you even touched any equipment.
 
"Hey guys, for the first anniversary of the Mixer shutdown meet me at the recycling place with all the cans you can find!"
