A Place to discuss drama in the online creator space. This is retaining the spirit of the original subreddit. This includes drama pertaining across multiple platforms, not just youtube but it could include twitch, kick, rumble, tiktok, twitter and more.

Remember, whilst we do discuss drama topics that relate to public figures we do not condone harassment, doxing, stalking and other illegal actions against these creators.

...

Rules:

1. Be Respectful

2. No Illegal Content

3. No Spam

4. No Porn/Sexually Explicit Content

5. No Enciting Harassment, Brigading, Doxxing or Witch Hunts. Discussions about creators should remain here, you should not actively encourage or engage in online harassment campaigns against anyone discussed on here.

6. NSFW should be behind NSFW tags.

7. Content should relate to creators online, it could be anyone who is publically facing; Content Creators, Influencers, Streamers, Bloggers etc...

...

Update by retaining the spirit of the original subreddit, I should state minus weird mod behaviour!

MODERATORS
 

Key Points:

  1. Streamer Exodus: The frequent switching back to Twitch suggests that YouTube live streaming may not be meeting the expectations of high-profile creators, impacting its credibility as a platform.
  2. Monetization Differences: Streamers find Twitch more profitable, particularly in terms of subscriptions and viewer engagement, raising concerns about YouTube’s monetization strategy for live content.
  3. Global Appeal: YouTube’s success in Asia indicates a potential strategy for growth, suggesting that the platform may need to focus on international markets rather than solely competing with Twitch in the U.S.
  4. Streaming Limitations: The 12-hour streaming cap affects YouTube’s ability to host long, engaging streams, which are becoming increasingly popular among audiences.
  5. Content Variety: While YouTube leads in overall viewership, it struggles in the gaming category, indicating a need to improve gaming-specific features to attract and retain streamers.
  6. Vtuber Dominance: The success of vtubers on YouTube highlights a unique niche that YouTube can capitalize on, reinforcing the idea that different content types perform better on different platforms.
  7. Algorithm Challenges: YouTube’s algorithm favors pre-recorded content, which may undermine live streaming’s potential, suggesting a need for a strategic overhaul to boost live content visibility.

I feel like with a lot of vtuber content, the livestreams are just as much about creating offline content like clips or communities to create fan art than the live stream experience where it's about interacting with others in a shared experience.
