I mean people say and most seem to believe that subs are 'consistent income'. But for example Dansgaming was saying he lost 400 subs after not streaming during Pax (like 4 days). And most people just sub for one month, basically just a 2.50 donation. Even if you look at waga's top donations list. The top 5 donators account for like 8k, considering he just hit 1k subs and has for the most part been around or under 500, those 5 people account for several months of all subscription income. And that's not counting the enormous mass of $1-10 donations. Which is worrying to me, because I find all streams turning into myfreecams constantly talking about people giving you money isn't what I'm there to watch. Obviously good that they are earning money, but some people need to learn to actually be providing quality content at the same time. | ||

I want lycan to be shit tier, worse than spirit breaker. People should forget that the hero lycan even exists, when someone randoms him the gut reaction should be worse than when you random io or chen or something. I would be happy if they just nerfed the wolves so they had to activate invis and it had a cool down. They provide so much scouting right now. Really the summoned shit in Dota 2 is super strong. But all the more reason to all LC to the pool and nuke that shit to the ground. | ||

I don't see them as any different than street performers, except that they have to periodically tell their viewers how to send in that money. And as I said in the other thread, it is super nice that Dota fans support the non-pro streamer along with the pros. It healthy for everyone who appreciates the game for both fun and high level play. | ||

One guy gave me a thumbs up. Don't get me wrong, I don't like people who ask for money every 10 minutes, but after every couple of games is fine. Balance is key. Also the way Draskyl does it where he thanks them while playing so it fucks up his play is pretty amusing too. People try to spam him with subs right before a team fight just to fuck with him. | ||

Which is what a street performer does by giving you eye contact and not stopping to play. And that is not what a streamer does when they read idiotic messages for the entire cast. Some people do this well. Some people don't. | ||

There's plenty of content in DotA that you don't even have to go anywhere near first person streamers. And if you want to watch fp streams, there are plenty of high-skill streamers with commentary that don't do that. Normal waga stream is like 10 donations and 2 subs a game. So works when he thanks them. Today is just... | ||
