Thoughts on the Twitch Bits system?

You buy chaturbate style tokens and tip them to streamers instead of donating. Twitch takes a 30% ish cut.
>>
>>342989542
now all they need to do is get rid of their nudity ban
>>
Oh and for some reason twitch has tailored everyones "based on your viewing history" to show only titty streamers

It's exactly the same like the token things on camwhore sites

Twitch is literally trash now

So when can I expect twitch streamers to begin wearing that vibrator that vibrates according to amount of tokens donated?

I got a few of these for some weird reason too, even though I only really watch speedrunners.

its not going to catch.
you think the mid level and low level streamers are going to want to lose free money along with not being popular enough to get even more free money?

i just want free money doing the thing i love anon, i want 100% of that free money too, fuck cuts.

>>342991652
Are you fucking retarded dude? Go to chaturbate or a similar site. Why the fuck would you go to twitch for that sort of thing?
>>
>>342992630
Maybe because twitch is literally catering to camwhores with these new features and not even being discrete about it?
>>342989740
>>
>>342992812
But at least on adult camwhores sites you can see a chick finger herself and boobs

On twitch you only see clevage and bad gameplay of a survival zombie game

He outright stated his intention is to masturbate to a streamer. Why would you go to twitch, where there is no nudity or explicit sexual content allowed, to masturbate? You donate 5 dollars or whatever and the streamer says thank you and at most does a quick little boob-jiggle dance. Whereas actual camwhore sites get you personalized sexual content for the same price or less. Donate 2 tokens and a whore says your name while fingering herself or whatever as opposed to twitch where you have to donate a substantial amount to get anything more than a "thanks for the donation".

It's fucking retarded and so are you.

>hurr twitch is catering to them so I might as well follow suit

>>342993423
What are you even trying to say? Streamers like that ride the line of twitch TOS. They don't actually show anything, talk sexually, or provide any jerkoff material at all unless you're 12 years old and completely ignorant to the existence of actual camsites.

It seems rooted in some idea that camwhore titty streamers get all the money and views but this is really far from the truth.

there are websites like chatturbate for a reason

>>342995092
Ye they can.

>>342995225

So people pay for these "bits" and when they use them the streamer gets money? I don't understand the point other than paying for animated emotes in the chat..
>>
>>342995092
You're stupid. They lose nothing because the faker still wont donate.
>>
>>342995272
No, it doesn't.

Playing vidya games is the purpouse of twitch, if they do that then there is no issue desu senpai
>>
>>342995356
Nah. Once you buy the bits they are non-refundable. And once you use them they are gone.
>>
>>342995495
>if they do that

And that's the issue. Typical titty streamers have a game queue running in the background while they camwhore. They aren't playing games, they are sitting there pretending to be waiting for a game.

So instead of Paypal and other services taking a small cut out of the money you donate, Twitch takes an even bigger cut and justifies it with an emote.
>>
>>343000574
That's the real big issue.

Paypal only takes 20% + $1.

This is a straight up 40% cut.
>>
>>343000574
No,senpai. You also get a badge. We all know neckbeards will do everything for that. Look at twitch turbo.
>>
>>342999787
You realize there is a difference between VOD and a stream? Clicking and watching 5 minutes of 4 hour VOD will give you +1 to counters. Can't fool live viewer count tho.
>>
>>342989740
I noticed that too.
>>
>>343000574
>>343000750
Nothing wrong with this.
The less money camwhores get, the better.
>>
>mfw little streams are bitching about this claiming twitch is helping the big established streamers instead of everyone
I don't get this mentality, this would make them earn even less money because more of it would be going to twitch than goes to paypal currently with regular tips
>>
>>343000980
And like I said earlier, people with low concurrent viewers don't get that many views on their VODs.

You can't "fool" VOD view counts either mongoloid. Someone with 50 viewers per stream isn't going to get 100k views on a fucking VOD. Keep spouting your delusions though.
>>
It's whatever, only limp dicks donate to streamers. I'm sure we'll see some streamers urge you to donate directly.
>>
There are girls on chaturbate who play games. At least there they get naked. Fuck twitch.
>>
just to clarify: can streamers still accept direct donations?

i am happy if the content creator ( in this case the streamer) gets more ways or more effective ways to make money.
I am not happy if they actually removed one of the way they previously had to make money and just demanded a cut.
>>
>>343001325
Actually the beta is just large streamers.

Apparently this service will be available to everyone, even people that aren't partnered.
>>
>>343002191
Why?
No one deserves to be paid for showing her tits and pretending to play videogames.
The more money they take from them, the better.

Sure you can't:

>VOD watched count +1

Also let me correct myself, because you're right 50 viewer stream will never get those numbers.
1000-2000 stream however will get that easly, especially with clickbait thumbnails like that.

But hey, why argue? Since it's happening apparently ALL the time, show me a stream that's tits for 4 hours with 2000+ live viewers. Looking for it should take maybe a minute, right?

I don't care because I don't ever give money to streamers and as far as I'm concerned twitch makes it possible for these people to sit down and play video games all day so maybe they deserve a cut of tips.

who said he's miserable?

he's right. they literally do nothing but play games and act like a retard in order to get money.

that isn't a career. it's easy money which is why so many people want to do it.

there isn't. the emote and badge is the only thing the viewer gets (aside from the annoying clutter on screen, which is a "feature" now apparently)

Quite frankly, no one gives a fuck what you consider to be "real work", and I'm sure there are those that consider what you do not real work either.

I'm sorry, but saying that comedian is not a "job" is fucking retarded. Especially followed by

If everything you do must be "useful", then you're a simple robot.

They want a cut of streamers money, Gamewisp give streamers the biggest cut if you want to support them.
>>
>>343006541
>>T-to support them
Is it not?

Regardless of whether or not you like what streaming is now, there are people that watch streams now for entertainment.
I don't understand why donating is a bad thing if you have the money enjoy the thing you're putting it towards.

Unless you're so jaded that you think all donations are a waste of money.

I wish there were rules about that
>Gameplay has to be at least 75% of the screen space
>Sexually provocative clothing and poses is instant ban
>Spending more than 30 minutes not playing a game is instant ban
>Betting streams are banned

But then all the tiddy streamers would go to a new place and twitch would lose a great deal of their audience

They know where their bread is buttered and they won't fuck with it

fuck them
>>
>>343007186
>Shouldn't be.
Then your opinion is dumb. Entertainers have always been an actual profession for all of recorded human history. Just because you object to this form of entertainment doesn't diminish its worth.

I can think of plenty of jobs that are arguably less useful than providing entertainment that I'm sure you approve of, which makes you a hypocrite.
>>
>>343008359
>Sexually provocative clothing and poses is instant ban

That's extremely blurry, though. It would be nearly impossible to enforce that in a fair manner.
>>
>>342989542
only good for partners
only good for twitch itself since they take a cut
may as well just donate to the person directly
>>
That would be a great line to use on a woman after you break up with her and she demands to know what she did wrong.
There's a twitch hearthstone streamer who I'm subbed to that I playfully flirt with and am going to end up dating and probably even end up getting married to someday who is pretty much a Dr. Boom with divine shield and windfury and she's pretty much ruined all of my relationships because even if the woman I'm dating is really cool and beautiful etc. she just can't measure up to her.
Next time a woman screams "what did I do wrong!" I'll just say "you're fine, you're a boulderfist ogre quality gal but for the long term you're just not good enough for the life I want to construct for myself (switches to her stream) look at her, watch the highlight video I've been making of her jokes and funny faces, if she was a card it would get nerfed after one week and she'd be the "and of COURSE at number 1...." on dozens of "most overpowered cards ever" youtube lists. Fucking Jennifer Lawrence is garbage next to her, so you see it's not you at all, and I'm not trying to put you down you just need to go out and find a good solid sunwalker level guy who will treat you right and get married and have kids and I'll just be a pre nerf Leeroy in your mind.

>>343008405
>Entertainers have always been an actual profession for all of recorded human history

for someone performing on stage, or in a troupe, as was this entertainment you are talking about in the past, yes, totally, they deserve it. that is work.

for someone sitting in a chair, playing a game, and acting like an idiot, no, not useful at all.
>>
>>343008539

True. But in this case I would like to use that grey area used to ban shit like this: >>342999425

And yet I don't know the answer for this: >>342993423

Because it seems to follow my guidelines. But clearly they are just TIDDY STREAMER PLAYING EZ GAME LEAGUE as they all do.
>>
>Twitch
how about uh
playing games
>>
>>343008359
You sound like an unimaginably boring cunt IRL, just being honest

there's pretty much nothing wrong with any of the shit you complained about, take all of the entertaining stuff away and you might as well just play the games yourself or watch youtube videos.

fucking no-lifer

>>343008927

The problem is a lot of these streamers just sit there with a game up in 25% on pause of the screen (some don't even bother with that) and flirt with the fanbase and do the equivalent of panhandling for money. The worst part is it shits up every single fucking page for every single game, too.

It's just a chatroom with a facade of a game stream. And people give them money to be their friend. That is not what twitch should be for.

>giving money to streamers

why?

back in my day we created content because it was our hobby, we didnt get paid, there were no google ads or any of that shit, we spent our own money hosting our own websites and creating videos, because we fucking wanted to

now all these lazy streamers are demanding money or they cant keep making videos? then it was never really their hobby, and theyre just using you to cash-in
>>

Ummmm I'm actually doing that dance for myself and because I think it's fun. If you think it's sexually provocative in any way then maybe you should evaluate how you look at women.
It also gets really hot so that's why I have to wear low cut shirts

I understand there would excuses and roundabout bullshit they would try to spin, but Twitch needs to man up and ban them. Make them go to actual camwhore sites where they belong.

Keep it grey/blurry. Abuse the fact it's a TOS. Add an arbitration clause. PR Spin it as taking a new moral ground against streams so that little Timmy doesn't get caught watching something provokative.

Alternative: Hell, start a system that tags channels against their will about their content. Use the ESRB ratings. AO streams. :^)

If twitch wasn't already cancer enough then this seals it. Chats are going to be filled with autistic manchildren and vapid 12yr olds flaunting their good goy badges and flooding chat with bitspam.

>>343009487
Yeah but it'll never happen because they make fast and easy money for twitch too. Wouldn't be surprised if third party apps/donations were banned/limited in favor of the Bit system.

It also seems so much easier to get partner now than it was years ago. If I click some random channel with under 100 viewers and they have a button I wonder how they get it since I figured it used to be higher. Also the fact the people do anything for views at this point to get that sub button and money.

Probably the most irritating thing is when I click on some game and someone else is clearly not playing that game but just uses the game name since there is someone else with 1000+ viewers and they're probably hoping someone clicks on their shit channel.
>>
>>343009559
Oh no, being funny shouldn't be a job either.
I think providing something useful is much better.
But if I had to choose, being a ''streamer'' would be, by far, the worst.
Don't think anyone could be proud of... well, of that.

>Yeah but it'll never happen because they make fast and easy money for twitch too. Wouldn't be surprised if third party apps/donations were banned/limited in favor of the Bit system.

Oh yeah. This is definitely a matter of time. They'll cite some sort of abuse, harassment or exploit with other systems, and ban all paypal/etc links from the site.

I mean, business-wise I can't really fault them for anything they're doing. It's all sound. It just annoys the fuck out of me that this is the path we've ended up with on the biggest streaming site, and the alternatives are unpopular dogshit.

I really wanted to try to get into streaming, and I've tried it a few times, but I play dumb shit, don't follow trends and I'm not a memespouting fuckwit or g4mergrrl, so I'll never actually get anywhere with it.

Twitch is something I'll never understand the appeal of. You give money to strangers to sit in front of a camera all day to play video games, most of the time, they're terrible at games too. What's the point? Do people really don't want to see streamers get a real job?

I'll say some people can be legit entertainers about it. They're really good, or really funny, or have interesting commentary to give. But those are very, very rare.

It's a way to interact with people without actually having to interact with people

Well >>343008796 had similar view on "usefulness" so I assumed that's you.
So I'll also assume that you still think that entertainer is not a job, which >>343008405
already pointed out how retarded that statement is.
I guess that's all there is to it.

>>343010798
I only ever go to twitch for fightan, like CEO over the weekend. And when I do my initial reaction is to hide chat and set it to full screen (if on pc; dual monitors). If I want to see it on a bigger screen I open the twitch app on my phone and chrome cast it to my TV. Other than that I feel the same way.
