The Ralph Retard - The place to shit on Ethan

[MeltyTW]

If you compare the amount of citrus super shekels he receives for the notoriety of his show compared to other shows you can see how many people must have stopped watching.

I do think that it's not entirely indicative of his audience declining completely. A big problem that Ralph has created for himself which I don't think that Warski or Fuentes have is that Ralph has been steadily funneling people towards his podcast rss feed which is listened to after the fact and the paypigs can't be milked. He has half assedly put up a patreon with some bonus content nobody wants to listen to and that isn't just me being biased. I've listened to some of his bonus content when PPP and Godwinson did a commentary track over it. Nobody would pay for anything that he paywalls. It's not like he's ever going to get advertisers either.

also remember replay values are artificially inflated

This also operates under the assumption that it's actually 400 real people and not viewbots.

at least 200 viewers are bots (this is how many didnt return automatically during a very brief outage on dlive) so because he had 300 most of the show his viewership is probably actually sub 200, also chillstream when it went down ralph got a bump of only 20 viewers, and he said "the chillstream viewers are migrating here" so by his own admission chillstream only has about that many viewers meaning the 80 viewers people saw has probably a high ratio of bots as well.

Gator can't get those Dlive tabs open fast enough. Sad!

Has anyone done tests with Dlive and them inflating the viewer numbers?
I'm pretty sure null did some streams on dlive back in the day.

 

[Moist Unguentine]

he made an entire subforum on me gaydur!

Getting moved from Internet Famous to his own subforum is probably a big part of the straw. Ralph is obsessed with the farms and him mentioning it all the time means his viewers end up here eventually.

The biggest straw out of many is probably getting charged by the state of Virginia for a Class 1 misdemeanor. That's real world serious shit and not some coast-to-coast sperging between two idiots. His hardcore fans don't care but less retarded people do apparently.

Unless someone has better evidence, I think that watching the numbers spike in real time demonstrates that there's some fuckery afoot.

PPP streamed on DLive one night at the same time Ralph was streaming. PPP fans opened up multiple windows and tabs of his show to try and beat Ralph's numbers. I don't remember the exact numbers but PPP''s viewer count went up by hundreds.

the real evidence imo is the fact his viewership always ramps up consistently towards the outro when thats not a thing for any streamer, any stream when ralph didnt need to bot during the golden era and when he was kicked off dlive temporarily and couldnt afford too many bots and or wasnt prepared for it the viewers always lower by tons before and during the outro, this is true for any piece of media that has an outro from movies in theaters to tv shows to web videos to live streams.

edit its also why ralph addresses us more directly in the outros

It happens literally right after Gator, Bibble, and Warski sign off. Ralph then usually goes on for about three or four minutes by himself.
So now that their computers aren't draining resources by streaming their audio/video, they can use that RAM to open up multiple windows. I know it sounds crazy, but I swear it happens right after the co-hosts dip out. Every. Fucking. Time.
Watch for yourself next time Ralph streams.

i have actually noticed that it just never clicked for me that thats what theyre moat likely doing

also if theres any truth to gaytor having been busy i noticed the bots where lessened during that period vs when he started being forced on ks again

How exactly does DLive pay them? Is it just from the lemons or do they also get paid based on viewers? If they get any money from viewer numbers, I wonder if this information is something that DLive would like to know since they're essentially scamming DLive by falsely inflating their viewer count.

I want to say it's just from mining the lino since they don't run ads on replays so it seems pointless to inflate the numbers other than to stroke ego. I could be totally off and say that it's just his Discord stroking his ego so Ralph can flex on his haters. A streamer could only have 30 viewers and still get a ton of ninjets so I think it's in the realm of possibility that the citrus super shekels (stealing that one because it's great) is the primary resource because the revenue is tied up in the blockchain.

We should look into this and find out for sure. Do they get a "lemon bump" for hitting a certain tier of viewers? I have no idea how it works, but I'm very interested in finding out more.

These viewer counts suck Ralph!

they dont get a stipend but they do have a system where chat engagement does generate lemons for the creator hence the sticker spam bots, they also give lemons to those botted accounts so ethan could probably skim those from those accounts as well. the thing is though dlive itself also changes ethans lemon totals counts on replays (probably not giving him extra lemons mind you just saying he made more than he actually did) and most likely is the source of at least a good deal of the bots so its doubtful theyd care.

lol also just realized with dlives automatic bots its probably safe to actually take away more than 200 viewers from estimates about human viewership

I think the only bump he gets for viewers is that it's featured more prominently on the site but since he's regulated to the X/adult section it doesn't matter either way.

lol forgot this obvious joke

Question for everyone: How did you find TRR/Killstream? Did you ever enjoy watching it? When did you stop watching and why?

Probably in the minority here but I have massive political differences with Ralph and the IBS sphere so have never unironically enjoyed the show.

Despite that, I thought that Ralph was one of the better “far right” streamers: not macing old ladies like baked, not building a personality cult like Fuentes, not as inclined to huff his own farts as Sargon, not as sleazy as Dax etc. He always seemed more open to the possibility of engaging different views than most and his listeners seemed more interested in listening to ideas than causing IRL bullshit.

All that’s died at his own hands. He can’t get guests any more than aren’t regulars with the same tired talking points. He looks every bit as sleazy and creepy as Dax and Digi. The only way he can appeal to viewers is to appease the Guard rather than try to broaden his appeal.

I didn’t anticipate the horror of the gunt tape, the bounty of the harvest or the miracle of seeing a new life be born of spite. Watching his downfall with you has been a joy.

thats because hes just pretending to be right wing for views and lemons. he didnt start that until he realized baked former audience would like it better and give him more to be their parrot

>How did you find TRR/Killstream?
I found out the killstream when WildSmile posted a vid about the healstream
>Did you ever enjoy watching it?
I sometimes enjoyed it as filler while working.
>When did you stop watching and why?
around April and May of this year. The constant reading articles, Tucker Carlson clips, and the gay ass feud with Josh was the end of it.

I enjoyed it about two years ago when it was a platform for spergs and political jackasss that took themselves way to seriously. After the boulderstream however Ralph started getting it in his head that people came to watch him and not the menagerie of weirdo's he brought on.
