Play LoL for 1 hour

Sorry I'm not disclosing any info on that on the basis that some twitch sponsors are reading this this thread.

Let's just say it's an ok amount.
$800 is measly compared to the big dudes on twitch.

>Sorry I'm not disclosing any info on that on the basis that some twitch sponsors are reading this this thread.
Fuck off faggot

You have to have a popular stream first.

I think you have to be a twitch partner

The catch is you need to already have achieved the sub button.

I too love to larp on chinese boards

Ah I see. I'm an idiot. It makes sense in that aspect. Bribe people with already good subcounts to play bullshit garbage games.

I have social anxiety

the catch is that the payout is based on your channel stats. you'd need a big fucking channel to earn that much.

>$4,000 to watch SFV
GGPO COST LIKE 10K TO LICENSE YOU FUCKS

Least that explains why the game still has views

Is that like in game cash to watch that shit or what? Because I doubt twitch are paying people 8$k to watch shit. And it is more like donations from other people that pay the streamer. Not the company. Or whatever. I don't even know anymore man.

>Because I doubt twitch are paying people 8$k to watch shit.
It's obvious they do. I always wondered how those lowly streamers made money when they barely get donations. There's no way subs are enough to make a living off of too.

It's basically twitch shilling specific games to streamers and paying them suitably for how big their channels are.

lmao capcom actually paying people to watch their garbage game. and then sfv shills boast about their viewer numbers

Welp, that explains why so many top streamers from other games are suddenly playing league.

What currency is that? I know for a fact the ffxiv twitch bounty is 120 USD

So it is in game cash shit and not anything with any real value then?

This is when there hasn't been a new character in 5 months. Been a while since the last costume pack even

It's real money.

to add up, that's probably reckful's board, so go check his channel stats to get a feeling what you need for those offers

Holy shit, you even get the game for free? Based.

OK I'm convinced.Starting a twitch channel,I'll keep you guys posted.

FFXIV SHILLS EXPOSED

Precisely, and by the way, this is also how all 'critic reviews' work. All those magazines and gaming websites? They're paid to write reviews by the companies they're writing reviews about. Conflict of interest? No shit. That's why so many critic reviews are full of such stupid bullshit. (Sometimes these reviewers are ALSO paid to write bad reviews about a competitor's game)

It doesn't stop at videogames: Movie reviews, book reviews, etc. etc. Anything where the reviews are gatekeepered in some way ends up with all bought/bribed reviews and nothing genuine.

That's why publishers hate steam's reviews - it's not gatekeepered, anyone can write a review, which means the companies in question can't buy off good reviews to help boost sales of low quality titles.

shit's fucking hard desu, it's saturated as fuck, most streamers stream to no one and if you get 5 viewers you're like in the top 5% of twitch, it's that fucked.

Damn they weren't joking about the entire paid shills meme, one hour on ffxiv is literally nothing and even watching some street fighter eSports is just laughable

id play your 8k to not play lol for an hour

that's just sponsorship basically, you have to disclose what you're doing according to the rules

All you need is a little positive exposure to sell a game. Imagine Hiro made allowing XIV generals on Yea Forums and jannies deleting or siderailing negative posts about the game?

So wait, there's paid shills but jannies do it for free?

>Precisely, and by the way, this is also how all 'critic reviews' work.
Bingoooo

I'm not a twitch streamer but a youtuber in a gaming-related but not exactly gaming category.

You play ball with the companies in your category or you don't get products, you don't get sponsored videos, you don't get pre-release products (extremely important for day 1 reviews), you don't get shit. You get blacklisted, and yes, they tell other company reps about you so they all know who to avoid.

Welcome to the world of "influencers". Good luck.

Do people want to watch a person who mutters a lot and swears under his breath?

>Watch STREET FIGHTER LEAGUE
>$4000
What does this mean?

Give someone power and they do shit for free

So game journalists really are nothing but bullshit?

>It's real money.
>If you don't get X amount of viewers you don't get paid.
Okay now i'm even more suspicious of this shit. I wouldn't. Let's just say that. It's basically PBS for the internet.

post proof

>money scales with viewership
How much does it cost to buy fake viewers for 1 hour?

What's your channel about?

I don't do opinion reviews, but yes game journalists and game reviewers and all that nonsense spew almost 100% completely useless bullshit.

Most game "journalists" just had to settle for shit they hate (games) because they failed to get into real news media.

I'm not giving away anything that could reveal who I am, not after saying that.

"Tech".

Yes I'm being deliberately vague (although that actually is what my channel's about) because, like that Twitch user earlier in the thread, if a sponsor found out I was saying any of this I'd get blacklisted and would be completely fucked.

they don't do that, you can barely have FFXIV threads on Yea Forums without risking it getting moved to /vg/ or deleted because of the no generals rule

How do you know if a reviewer is actually reviewing something or just shilling? Are there any who don't? Do you know all this from personal experience or from friends or other youtubers you know?

>How do you know if a reviewer is actually reviewing something or just shilling?
If they have anywhere north of, oh, 10k subs... they're probably shilling. Anything over 100k and it's almost guaranteed.

Also they'll downplay or completely ignore the cons of whatever the product is. Smarter reviewers will just leave "minor" cons in so it'll fool most of the tiny fraction of the population who actually pays attention, into thinking "okay well I guess his review is honest because he still said it has downsides".

It's a ploy. Some products are nearly perfect. Most are not.

>Are there any who don't?
I'm not aware of any, no.

>Do you know all this from personal experience or from friends or other youtubers you know?
Both. Several companies have ditched me because I didn't give them a glowing review. Sucks, too, cus a few of those I really wanted to continue working with. Lessons learned, I guess.

Ninja was paid $1 million dollars to play Apex

>How do you know if a reviewer is actually reviewing something or just shilling?
Look at their videos before and after when playing a new game or product. And if it has sponsored then they are sell outs hard.

>Apex
>EA
A fool and his money are soon parted.

Because I want to contribute to society.

cope

the company is paying big streams to stream themselves watching the tournament

>tfw streaming right now, but never shill
I'm too nervous anyways. I quit the moment I got randomly hosted for 3k once. I usually average around 2 or 3 people with some random 100s

I WERE A CUTE GIRL SO I COULD MAKE THOUSANDS JUST PLAYING VIDYA ON CAMERA

Because I'm fit, happy and have a career I love. Money becomes near worthless when you're at my level.

yeah but then you would have to deal with literally thousands of horny men.

>$700 a day

bretty nice, even if you don't like the game that much, is just 1 hr

>Turning an enjoyable pastime into a rigid fun-destroying job

The real question is tho. How do you get the viewers? Has no one thought about it from this point of view.

There is entirely too much money in this shit. Fair use laws addendums when?

cope

the game companies are paying for that shit so who cares, it's like how celebs get paid to shill shit

Well this is just one more step towards Twitch imploding like YouTube did for advertisers. Any streamer excited for this is incredibly short-sighted. In a few years they’ll be hamstrung to PG streams with their entire livelihood on the line at any time.

you have to be partnered first and view botters get filtered before then usually, dunno if they've made advanced enough view bots to post markov chains in the chat to seem like it's active

>$100 to play games you like
Hrrrrrr WHY AREN'T I GETTING PAID
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
INCEL SMASH!

This isn't a new thing, it's been around for over a year and that whole PG thing has been pushed on twitch for at least 3 years now when they changed the rules
Twitch is sleeping hard honestly, they could pull in serious advertisers but they'd rather keep camwhores and literal pornstars around

literally just shill on Yea Forums like Kaceytron, summertime sage dev, Pewdiepie, etc.

>tfw the only people who know I stream are from a general I browse
I'd feel so fucking weird shilling myself on here

I know right, I'd feel so self conscious and weird. By the way you guys checked out this new guy who totally isn't me on twitch? He's so funny, you should give him a sub
