Here’s another interesting video. This you tube channel has some other cool stats as well:
Yuck. These streamers are on too much sugar/caffeine/other drugs.
yeah, that seems to be the mode.
OK, this is just creepy:
At that point they’re not watching anything. They’re in a chat room.
People love chat rooms.
I discovered a game channel called ASMR on Twitch last night. The player, typically a girl with huge breasts and tight underwear, whispers and rubs random objects on a microphone. The audience wins when she takes a break from rubbing the microphone and dances in her underwear, and she wins when the audience gives her money. It’s a popular game, with thousands of viewers at all times.
The best player in the world so far seems to be a particularly well-endowed girl named Amouranth. She wears the tightest clothes, has the biggest boobs, and maintains the most disinterested wooden face of them all. I’m not sure how viable competitive ASMR is just yet as an eSport, but it looks like something pretty much anybody could play if they’re interested in rubbing brushes, bracelets, and breasts on an expensive microphone.
I wonder what the sequel will look like.
Boobs? Where?
Now you’re going to get entitled asmrers complaining about Twitch t–nevermind.
Someone explain the Casino channel to me. It’s gotta be bots, but what’s the scam? Are they scamming twitch for ad revenue?
Most people think it’s basically a giant free ad for various casinos.
Which makes sense, how much does it cost to throw up a neverending ad online? You have to pay maybe one dude to make the account and make sure it stays live and then direct the bots to it.
You make some ad money back, but by most streamer’s accounts that’s basically nothing. So it’s got to be all the links and the like that people mention these streams tend to run. Not sure how effective it is, but, again, it’s basically free.
Edit: Per Reddit it seems like the category disappeared about a month ago? Twitch probably got tired of banning them and dealing with it. Also they were running afoul of some UK laws most likely.
I would like to have Tom whisper “Chick Parabola” slowly into the microphone.
Do you want to bring all the boys to the yard? Because that’s how you bring all the boys to the yard.
Grrrrrowl.
Think I read a sci-fi novel about that character recently, think it was called “Chick Parabola and the 7-9 of Doom” ?
Casino was consistently in the top 5 games on Twitch, but yeah I don’t see it anymore. It seemed shady as hell.

Lifestyles of the rich and sedentary. An article about what it takes to stay on top, and how one popular guy is mixing it up to try and get money other ways than sitting in front of a webcam for 80 hours a week.
Take Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek for example, who revealed this month that he has over 60,000 Twitch subscribers.
In the first full week of February, Shroud streamed for 86 hours and three minutes, primarily playing Fortnite-like battle royale game Apex Legends.
Jaryd “Summit1g” Lazar played Apex for 54 hours and 25 minutes during that week, while Turner “Tfue” Tenney chalked up 57 hours and 38 minutes on Fortnite.
In contrast, Ninja “only” clocked up 32 hours and six minutes of gaming in that same period of time.
That followed a week off for the popular streamer (Ninja), who once admitted on Twitter that he lost 40,000 subscribers simply for taking off two days for a gaming conference.
Firstly, Ninja is still making a lot of money through Twitch.
If all of his subscribers were only donating the minimum amount, and if he was receiving just 50% of that after Twitch take their cut (some popular streamers can receive up to the full amount), he would still be making $75,000 per month.
Yeah, it’s the same thing with camgirls, you only make top-tier money if you’re online constantly. They’ll stream 18 hours a day, which means that’s all they do other than poop and sleep.
I would be okay with only making 150% of my current annual income each month. I think I would survive that.
I wouldn’t. It isn’t just the working 18 hours a day, it’s that you have to be on for 18 hours. Thousands of people are watching. Exhausting.
