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.
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.

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.

For real. I don’t even talk in MMO games because what if I say the wrong thing?
Here tho, it’s shouting into the ether. Who gives a fuck. (Tho I was a lurker on Reddit for like 7+ years and only got into commenting and posting here because I want to see this place grow)

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.

I streamed for a while, just for fun. Never tried to get popular or anything. (And I never did get popular.) Just a humble speedrunning stream. I had like one viewer who caught my stream on anything like a frequent basis. I just made conversation while I streamed. It was very chill.
All that to say, I think the issue with people is way easy for anyone who never has more than like… 4 simultaneous viewers?
Oh, I think a lot of Peertube instances support live streaming. If you wanted to ensure your viewer base stayed small (and probably that it remained more civil than the average Twitch viewer), that might be a good way to go as well.
And you’re probably right that I was pretty lucky to have pretty good internet where I live. My favorite content creator/streamer doesn’t stream so much any more because his ISP was shit for a good while. (His ISP was Cox and when he started dropping frames, he called it being “Cox blocked”. Lol.) He’s got way better internet now, and does occasionally stream, but hasn’t really gotten back into the groove of streaming like he used to, and maybe doesn’t want to any more.
But also, as others are saying, 360p is fine sometimes. Just depends what you’re streaming.

Note that Twitch trains AI on user data by default, but recently added the option to opt-out:

If you are planning to stream, or are already streaming, check your settings.

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.

it’s a replacement for watching videos with a friend.

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.
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
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
bstix@feddit.dk 3 hours ago
It can be both. It doesn’t push the iceberg videos to me, so I guess they’re not trending in my kind of demography.
I usually find new things by the suggestions that are related to the channels that I do watch, not from the general feed, which is useless. So I basically only watch the stuff that I subscribe to, making my own feed with those.

My favorite is the Deadpool reaction shorts. Like, you don’t even get a face.

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
