    Wholesome? On my 4chan?

    Seriously, though, OP should just… you know… stream. It’s free, and it’s not that hard.

      Dealing with the general public is kinda hard, though. There’s lots of anxieties and disappointments that come with it, and that’s before you even encounter assholes, spambots etc.

      Also, not everyone has sufficient uplink for lifestreaming. If I tried that kind of thing, the quality would have to be something like 360p or 480p.

        Sounds perfect for streaming yourself playing early 1980s Atari 2600 games. The low quality video would be an element of immersion mimicking 1980s video tech.

          You’d have to also try to emulate CRT screens to ‘cut’ the pixels up.

          Ahh, that would be awesome…

            I bet there’s a filter you can put over your video stream that makes it look like a CRT

        I half remember this streamer was live when one of her fans walks into her living room from the balcony after climbing 2-3 stories. Fucking terrifying. Bro literally though they were friends and that it was a normal thing to do.

    It’s weird how fun it is to pretend to be a streamer or gaming YouTuber. It’s probably good practice incase you do actually want to do that

      Used to watch English Minecraft Youtubers as a kid, pretty sure the humour, the English and me narrating and commenting on my own passive life in that English is an incredibly weird hobby I got, it was fun to attempt the huge English vocabulary I was learning from my fiction books (yes I was a complete loner who lived in books and my own world no surprise) and YouTube, not sure how much of a skill spontaneously going off into fluent delusional conversations with yourself in a foreign language is though.

      I wonder whether this is just something normal I’m over thinking perhaps.

    The reaction videos make no sense to me either. The few that pop into my feed are usually just some face nodding and barely reacting to an endless stream of slop shorts.

      Mainstream Japanese TV was basically doing reaction videos before the internet was even a thing. Rather than use a laugh track, they put a box in the corner of various “celebs” reacting to the content. I’m really hoping it goes the way of the laugh track, but it’s still pretty ubiquitous.

      I’m still trying to figure out what an “iceberg” video is. The idea of an iceberg makes me think the bottom info should be more hidden or secret information, but from what I’ve seen, it’s just a ranking system? Not sure what it has to do with icebergs, or if it started as something that made sense and morphed into what it is today.

      All I know is, YouTube keeps wanting to suggest them to me and there seems to be no way to get it to stop. I heard from one creator that it’s a format that’s currently trending, so that’s probably why they’re everywhere. But if they’re being recommended constantly, are they really trending, or is the algorithm just pushing them?

      Anyways, I prefer to go off recommendations from other people anyway. YouTube’s suggestions are utter trash.

        Some used to be that way.

        Youtube has folks that dig way too deep into Elder scrolls lore and several use the format. Those work from “literally stated in the game” to "if you read these books in game in this mobile only title from 2001, look at questionably cannon dev comments, and look at the assets names, you’ll find this reoccurring thread "

        The idea is that common knowledge is the tip of the iceberg, and as you go deeper you get more niche and involved. A math iceberg, for example, would start with addition and subtraction, go into exponents, radicals, algebra, then imaginary numbers, series, set theory, then calculus, proofs, theoretical stuff.

        The problem is they became popular, so its really just “stuff i wanted to talk about in a particular order”. Tier lists are slightly better designed, but people also vastly misinterpret the purpose of those as well; i highly suspect most tier list makers dont even know where S tier comes from
