Was watching Nick’s latest Destiny coverage (not bad) and he was saying something about how it’s good that everyone in commentary is doing their own thing and not streaming together constantly.
On one hand, yeah it’s definitely helped grow the fanbase, (they regularly stream to thousands now) and we get way more content from each person than we would otherwise. I get Nick’s point about wanting to grow/make money with his own streams instead of just being a guest on other people’s all the time (even if it was entertaining most of the time).
But on the other hand I feel like those collab streams were why most people watched? Nick was making a point about how they got nothing done, but no one was watching after hours for its efficiency. You sorta tuned in to see the new drama, but it was really more of a live podcast. There’s a reason it dropped off when Augie started solo streaming, he’s not bad at covering topics, but people are watching because the guests have good chemistry.
I think it only makes sense that they’re diversifying, but I’m always gonna enjoy those collab streams a lot more. I hope at least there are more call ins on each others streams than there are now. It’s fun.
