Makes me wonder if a fork will happen in the future. Wonder if offerings will be much different a year from now, and if options like kbin will be more polished by then.

They chose to financially put themselves in a situation where they are forced to release content at that frequency because they chose to expand operations and drastically increase expenses compared to other channels. It’s their decisions that created the work cycle that is needed in pursuit of exponential growth over a more financially sustainable model that affords the luxury for a less hectic release schedule.

It’s getting old seeing people keep making they have to do it this way when it is the situation they created for themselves.

Monetizing an apology video of all things says it all.

He’s another tech bro. Wan show always seemed more like a soap box for him to try to make him seem like an aww shucks type of guy, but there was the whole discussing wages issue at LTT too that broke the illusion of the image he tries to depict of himself.

I think people who visit here have been pretty cool. Not any worse or inferior to people with accounts here.

I didn’t know something like that was going on. Logo would be cool.

Just because you disagree with someone doesn’t mean it’s automatically a circle jerk. People do have valid reasons for not choosing to spend money on the epic platform.

I wonder how many people on the receiving end even change their mind. I feel like if anything they’d completely reject the cause that is trying to be pushed, and the end result is a circle jerk between people who were already in agreement.

It depends on what the goal of the protest is and an assessment of whether the act is going to actually be successful in bringing about the change they want.

If that isn’t taken into account it’ll just make people more ingrained in their beliefs, and possibly increase hatred towards the groups and the cause overall. Which can just lead to increased conflict and increase extremists on both spectrums.

Sometimes then the cause just devolves into people on both sides just reveling in getting to act out their primal desires.

It’ll probably be a 4k tv then? LG, Samsung, Sony, TCL, and Vizio seem to all have airplay support for TVs released recently these days. If Android TV it’s easy to side load smarttubenext, but never bothered due to finding airplay convent enough.

Until then it might be worth checking out to see if you can get smarttubenext installed on your chromecast

Looks like it is up to only 720p. Never been bothered by it myself for the type of content I’ve air played. Not ideal for movies or TV shows though.

Absolute golden resource. This will save me so much time when I’m searching through random videos.

What brand do you have? If they have Android TV they seem to usually have airplay support too, but you need to go into settings and then get your Apple device paired with the TV to get airplay to start working.

Here’s one https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/apk-mod-5-0-twitchmod-twitch-app-modification.4129481/page-8

I don’t watch twitch so I can’t attest to its effectiveness.

I don’t think they are uploading expecting anything back, or an expectation that their channel will get big. Which is what makes their content feel more old school to begin with.

I wish some of that money found its way to small youtubers who don’t qualify for monetization and are just uploading for the fun of it. Those youtubers are my favorite since it feels more like the old YouTube or stuff like lemmy or whatever where people share without expectation of anything back other than just being excited.

I think they know people who aren’t paying already won’t buy it, so they are raising prices on those that found enough value in it to use it. There is YouTube music bundled with it that some like, so seems like smart strategy to me.

My TV has airplay support built into it so I haven’t needed to get an Apple TV. But you do need an Apple device to use Airplay.

Even twitch has work around so they are welcomed to keep trying until they are successful.

I use safari with adguard + sponsor block which lets me airplay videos to the TV. I don’t even have the YouTube app installed. No need to try and set up smarttubenext or whatever on the TV.
