Watching other people play video games you own is cuckoldry

So he has a sizable backlog for fans when he does finally make it big :)

A friend of mine went through that phase but did it because it was comfy or whatever. I assume thats the case for most and even if just one person enjoys it its just a bonus. Cringe af though.

you're the one I don't get, op. why do you want to watch people play videogames instead of playing them yourself

I don't.

If they have like 50 videos without any views or subscribers you would think that theres something fundamentally wrong with them and wont even watch one video.

Wasnt there some disabled german guy who sounded like Bain who made a shitload of videos with his trainsets? Anyone remember that?

you're a monster

>Bain

I have HDDs full of captures of every game I've played going back to around 2007. The solo games are without commentary, the multiplayer ones have in-game chat/vent/skype/discord and shit as part of them.
Tens of thousands of hours recorded because I thought I might upload them someone for others but I always found an excuse not to.
Lay off your friend, at least he's trying.

Look! it is bain..

Recording yourself play video games is Infinitely less pathetic than spending your time watching people play video games.

Hi OP's coworker

Upload the multiplayer ones. Could be comfy.

I know, why I've never uploaded.

What I don't get is people who stream games they haven't played for the first time. I guess it's fine if you know it's probably gonna be shitty but if it's an actual good game, why would you ruin the experience by having yourself constantly look at chat, constantly read donations/subs/follows, constantly have to talk, etc?

That seems kind if innocent I dont get the big deal. Now twitch streamers who have an average of 10-20 viewers, putting on the typical showmanship every time someone interacts with his channel and hoping they'll be one of the lucky ones who will make it big on the platform, that's what's really sad.

Because money. That's their "job". If small time, then they're hoping to make it big. I'd rather work a shitty wagie cuck job than ruin my gaming time like that.

All of these stream archives will be useful for training neural networks.

this is your co-worker

youtu.be/h_hbw_4UhTo

Clearly your coworker thinks they will get popular if they just make videos, they are wrong. You have to shill your shit everywhere and hope to eventually reach critical mass of viewers to actually get youtube to recommend your videos to people

Australian detected

Yeah. I think streaming multiplayer games or games you've played before is fine but I do not want to divide my attention when playing a new single player game that I think has potential to be something i'll like.

Don't know about whoever you know but the people who work with me who stream are doing so officially because they're also the devs. Even the CEO because unlike with most companies he's not just a suit. He's still a dev too.

No it's not, it's just enjoying others doing a thing you also like doing.

If one day you don't feel like playing basketball even if you normally would but you still sit and watch your friends play you're not being cuckolded. That's fucking retarded to even say.

I make YouTube Videos of me and my friends playing video games all the time, I dont monetize anything, and I dont clear more then maybe 15 views a video, but I like learning video editing basics and it's fun for my friends. Seems like maybe you are just lonely or something OP, maybe go make some friends.

>Nobody wants to watch a 40 year old boomer
Well apparently 3 people do. 100 subs in two years isn't even very many, so it's obvious that they have no intention of making money out of it. Don't really see the harm if they enjoy it and understand that they aren't going to make money from it. Maybe they'll find 97 more boring like-minded people in the next two years.

cunny

The irony of livestreaming is that it's a profession that primarily attracts the people least suitable for it. It's mind boggling how many people I see trying to make it in streaming when they can't even talk to audiences for 5 minutes without trouble.

Sure you did champ, just remember 2-D only

He's absolutely trying to make money off of it, he's gone whole hog into the thing. Branding, attempts at merch, discords to bring together his "fanbase", trying to move in on every trend that comes down the pipe to get noticed. It's sad as fuck watching someone who can't afford a doctor's visit spending his money on shirts with his shitty self designed logo on it to send to people who aren't ordering them.

Woah woah pedo, I thought you crawled back into your cornerafter getting btfo'd who said you could start posting again?

I have one friend who did a review video of Mighty Switch Force 2 at a time when there were hardly any reviews of it. The video got like 60k views. It didn't translate to success to his other videos though. He ended up taking the channel seriously for a while though, and would constantly post blog style updates on his life and where he was taking the channel...while every video got between 0 and 10 views. It was depressing after a while so I unsubbed. He still posts updates on Facebook occasionally talking about his YouTube channel and it's been like 8 years since his "big break" and he hasn't managed to find success.

I don't mind if you have a bad voice, an ugly face, and no charisma. I'll give you the chance, I'm into following newbies. But please invest in an entry-level studio mic instead of your 10 dollar headset, a webcam that lets me see your face, and do anything at all that makes me think you care about your channel and didn't just arrive here because you thought you could luck out.

Why do twitch fags people like face cams so much? You are there to watch a game, not someone stare at a screen right? So why would you care about a face cam that is just blocking what you are there to watch?

Look I can understand why you think it's lame but it's kind of fucked up of you OP. Have you tried pursuing your own dreams? I'm sure people wanted you to fail too.

I don't need a face cam if a streamer is compelling enough otherwise because they're really good or speak well, but you're watching streams to get some kind of reaction. A face cam often just adds onto that.

>Guy has a job

people like seeing reactions, just look at youtube, there's thousands of channels where people just post themselves watching some video and those people get thousands to hundreds of thousands of views

:^)

i have no idea how someone gets past the initial hurdle of even getting a single viewer. there is no incentive for someone to watch you at all, there is hundreds, thousands, of losers sitting at 0 viewers.

Not OP and I can't speak for his friends videos, but it annoys me when I see people do a shit job of pursuing their own dreams. I've known a few people try to get into streaming but never seem to make any plan on what content they'll deliver or how they'll set themselves apart from anyone else.
Ditto on esports aspirants who only play casually but think they might make it someday. Dudes who want to write but don't even read. Girls that wanna be famous but never audition for anything at all.

>Not OP and I can't speak for his friends videos, but it annoys me when I see people do a shit job of pursuing their own dreams.

Shit or not doesn't matter. What matters is that dude is walking the walk and actually taking action. People will talk all that shit about how bad you are until you make it and then people start kissing your ass.

at this stage every single new streamer has to resort to getting viewers from outside of twitch, even if you play a game with very few streamers odds are there won't be many viewers and the few viewers there will be watching that game because a specific streamer is playing it

>Co-worker has fun in his personal life

Stay mad and autismal. btw he's getting paid to take care of you, that doesn't make him your co-worker

this right here is what keeps me from even trying
I remember thinking I'd get 3 or 4 viewers average for my first stream, then I tried scrolling all the way down the Twitch browse channels page..
That's some wild stuff to think people will stream for days without a single viewer, what drives them to put themselves through that humiliation?
Delusions that they'll become the next Ninja if they just keep at it?

if you are a youtube refugee you basically get to skip the initial hard part.

other than that, you network like a motherfucker and have a popular streamer feed you like a sugar daddy,

Riding other people's coattails seems to be the way up if you aren't already well known for some other reason. I watch a guy who currently gets about 100 viewers average on his streams. He was at 30 a few months ago and had been languishing there for ages. He got his initial seed from being well known in the community of another streamer. I reckon he's going to get quite popular in time since he's skilled, funny and positive

I make youtube videos, but I never commentate them. It's mostly for archival purposes.

Exactly but I think leeching off popular streamers is also damn near impossible since they get tons of people begging for collabs/hosts/etc for money
I remember one guy gave sodapoppin $500 just to play a match of dead by daylight with him, that's how desperate people are

Moonmoon is one of the most successful streamers on twitch and he got there by doing what you describe. It's not enough to get exposure though. You need to have a reason for people to stick around. Being funny, charismatic and skilled is the ingredient that most people who get that exposure still lack

if moonmoon wasnt streaming he'd have a career in radio i think. he was just made to do it.

he started back in 2016 though and it was a lot easier to make it back then

I think it's more the fact OW was a huge release and everyone was looking for someone to watch. So just wait for the next OW tier release and get in early, good luck with that.

Gotta start somewhere. Stop bringing people down and being a jaded cunt.

>a webcam that lets me see your face
I fucking hate this trend. When I look for a review or a let's play of a game to get the gist before buying it, I always click off the ones that consonantly have their face showing, staring directly into the camera.
If I'm desperate, I move a piece of paper or something over them so I can see the video without having to look at them.
The fuck is everyone obsessed with showing their face to people who don't want to see it anyway.

If you have no views then you have no clue if what you're doing is good or bad because no one is watching it to form an opinion. If you don't do a video card and good title you'll be washed away among the many.

yeah that usually works too as long as you can find a way to stand out among the normalfag crowd that rushes in like what happened with apex

Most normal humans with normal brain function like to see the faces of other humans

Holy cringe batman...

>friend asks me to subscribe to his youtube channel
>he still hasn't uploaded any videos
ebin

The viewers ask for that. One time I did a stream for some people and ran a poll to see if they wanted cam or no cam and they all voted for cam.

>The fuck is everyone obsessed with showing their face to people who don't want to see it anyway.

You gain an emotional connection when you see someones expression and reaction

So people who make endless videos like this for years despite having almost no views or subscribers are mentally ill right, like they actually suffer from some sort of mental impairment. How do they justify their actions in their minds?

A friend of mine really wanted to have a go at making money off twitch a while back, so a few other friends and I would support him by watching his streams so his viewership would be at the bare minimum required to be partnered or whatever they call it when you can start making money from it. It worked and he was super jazzed when he reached that goal, but he quit cold turkey not long after.

Better that it ended that way, he wasn't going to get very far if I'm being honest. He streamed the console version of pubg, played with some guy who had a screaming kid in the background, didn't really have anything interesting or funny to say, etc.

Lol no, it’s not.

Kinda lonely really.

Because the people that are successful at it make it look fun and achievable.

Sports is cuckoldry, very cool

do it and get 5 views a video

It also can serve as a form of cloud storage, maybe? I wouldn't be able to tell.

More likely it means you paid nothing to advertise them, do no networking, and have a bad thumbnail. But really its just the first two. YouTube isnt a place where you just upload and people find you anymore, all algorithms and search parameters direct you to the most popular content by default.

You missed the boat on most of the single player stuff I promise you, but classic multiplayer compilations could probably ride the nostalgia boner to moderate success.

I have a bad problem with not finishing games so even if I only have 1-2 viewers on strram and maybe 10 yt views per vid it makes me determined to see it through.

It helps to play games that people can play and interact with you in. I dont have a big community, but whenever I stream minecraft or 7 days to die, I always have a little crew that comes to play and watch. I also do fortnite, but das forbodden in these parts.

Ever consider you arent the target audience of a streamer?

If you arent at least on Twitter interacting with people who also make the same shit, it will never succeed.

Or maybe they just, here it comes, ENJOY doing it even if they don't monetize from it? GASP, unbelievable!

Okay so I'm one of those people that many of you are complaining about.
I've been making videos since early 2011 and in the last 9 years I've uploaded over 1200 videos across 2 channels.
As of currently I'm one of those 'doesn't have many subs or get many views but uploads anyway' people.
What many tend to forget outside of the many drastic changes to YouTubes algorithm over the years is just what it takes to maneuver around it and stay relevant.
Up until 2014 I was monetized and earning $300 to $350 a month, but at the cost of getting all those views from following trends and playing what was currently relevant rather than what I really wanted to play, because that was what was required at that point to get the views.
You have absolutely no idea how much it kills your motivation to have to constantly follow trends to stay relevant enough to keep gaining subs and views.
I eventually just stopped, deleted my old channel and created a new one which I have been uploading too since. It's un-monetized and gets far less traffic than the previous ever did, but I don't need YouTube for a job, so all my videos are just for fun.

Not sure why any of this matters to you so much anyway. You want videos without commentary? They do exist.
There's also plenty of channels out there among the trash that I'm sure you all watch or that you'll eventually find and love.
You guys really do complain about the most trivial things sometimes, it must be a slow week for you.

>co-worker mentions being a streamer and a counter strike knife gambler
There's really nothing else to this story, I just said neat and went back to working.

any time a coworker talks about video games or the internet or anything related to video games and the internet, I pretend to not know what it is, and ask them about it. Then when they start trying to describe reddit or anime or the concept of watching someone play a video game on the internet, they start to feel awkward, and find an excuse to leave.

yea I got no friends and I'm alone and long to connect to other human beings but it's safer this way.

it's not necessarily a mental illness, but there are elements of depression and giving up and shit. more like it becomes routine and a comfort thing.

i used to kind of look down on it and laugh but think about it this way. what's the difference between loner making videos for basically himself, and a cashier at a grocery store that started when they were 20 and still doing the job at 60...to me that feels like wasted potential, you spent your life being a slave, just in a different way. but they keep doing it because it becomes routine.

shaemful display

>tfw i can get good views but youtube requires you to either make 20 minute long videos or die
i cant be entertaining for more than 5 minutes at a time

and to add to my point, there is like 200 responses and most people talking about the actual content of the video and failing to go to the mental illness route tells me there's a lot more of those people here.

>hur dur. live life x or y way or else you're a slave. so deep.-a guy on a videogame forum.

>into anime where the male protaganist turns into a girl.
Ramna is pretty good, user.

I have an account for a niche topic with under 50 subscribers but I don't give a fuck about likes/views. It's free cloud storage and the chance to share rare stuff with others interested in the content.

What's the problem? He is enjoying himself. He is not doing this for you to like. You sound like an annoying dickhead.

t. Awkward weeb coworker with 6 subscribers

you, i know one who post his videos all day to us and the only 1 view he gets is if i decide to open one of them. he also tried to run a gaming youtube channel and that failed.

then again this is the same guy who always tries to tell me that the mobile market is the future of gaming and i should spend my time programming mobile games.

link his channel, i like to watch people with no viewers

Is it really so bad to try? They are trying to pursue their dream and don't give up despite mediocrity. I wish I had a spirit like that. When I realized I was mediocre I just gave up and started huffing spray paint and air horns every day. I have no soul now and I Wish I just kept trying.

>tfw I'm guilty of this but it's fun to stream even when only ten people are watching
>editing videos is somewhat relaxing and I'm genuinely proud to see my improvement with each one I make
>Even have been getting noticed a little bit more lately

And it's all something I do maybe once or twice a week. The important thing is to be a jack of all trades and adapt. I've even gotten some kudos for recording games nobody has played.

Incidentally, I love watching Blender Guru but what the fuck is up with using a camera for tutorials?

>made a yt channel bout two years ago for videogames
>2nd video ever got 10,000 views
>bunch of feedback and comments
>expected absolutely nothing so just kinda in shock people liked it at all
>make maybe 10 videos after that
>they get maybe 100 views
>think whatever, just keep doin what I do because some people seem to like some particular thing that I do
>just dont know what it is
>onw of those less viewes videos was a random showcasing of the craziness of some indie game I beat that was kinda lewd
>It has maybe 100 views the first month
>notice the next month it grew to 1 views randomly cause it shows as my 2nd most popular videos
>weird but OK
>views kept growing over about 5 months
>ends up having 20,000 views, double the views of my previously most popular video

Can't say I understand what works and what doesn't as I havent made anything in a couple years now. But one rule I did follow is try to make something useful/or entertaining for people that even you would watch(which is hard).

And be cynical of yourself too because if theirs tons of people with the same content as you, why would they watch you in particular vs the more popular guy?

twitch shill thread? dont mind if i do youtu.be/ydRS3HUbHdY

I still have some Melee matches I uploaded with my friends and a cringey podcast I made with my brother with E3 speculations. Its awful, but one has to realize you don't have talent for those things one way or another.

Its the equivalent of the boomer days of "make a band with your friends and make it big".

yeah this goes without saying
shortyguy has been leeching off lirik for years and he can barely pull more than 1k viewers even though lirik gets like 15k-30k viewers

Actually not bad user, keep it up, better than a lot of the other fucking trash on here

i dont know how to break it to him that he's likely going to be a poorfag at best and living with his mother for the rest of his life at worst

Voyeurism.
Its why I streamed for a while. It was pretty fun even if only one or two people were watching at the time.
Wouldn't do it now. Too much real life shit going on the mic would probably pick up and too many things pulling me away from the game. Plus I make mistakes like crazy setting the stream up.
I think if I stream now, it will be for a purpose. Like making something in Dreams or in Game Maker.

sure, they hypothetically could. they don't, though. they always want to be famous and make money.

when you reply "shit that never happened" to mundane stories like that it's clear they upset you

>tfw you keep getting subscribers on YouTube despite not making a video in a year and said videos being really outdated and crumby and shot on my phone.
I should stream something stupid and hope they all go away.
