the POG ready I'll count us down take
two chat welcome to chit [ __ ] damn it
come on the laugh threw me off reset
reset take three I forgot my line your
only line is to say POG once I start
doing the thing that's all you do it's
like very simple all right reset reset
10 9 8 you failed God damn it okay I'm
turning off the you fail you know all
right we're just going through it 3 2 1
Welcome to dog whatever the [ __ ] all
right hold on every stop for a sec all
right there's a book called twitch for
dummies so I bought it and here's what
we're going to do we're going to find
out am I actually good at streaming I
don't know I haven't read the book yet
now according to Twitch tracker I am the
top
263rd person on Twitch and if you're
talking about English channels I'm
basically top 100 but that's a boring
metric I don't even know how you justify
that what I care about is the Judgment
of t- Mor who wrote twitch for dummies
and we're going to find out if according
to the rules and suggestions for what a
new streamer should be doing am I
actually doing a good job as a streamer
and with each category that he has
listed out we will create a report card
you guys will give me a grade that you
vote on and at the end we will find out
if I pass or fail as a streamer
basically top 100 you're top 200 I mean
I'm top 105 I'm going to be honest with
you guys I looked at this yesterday and
I was number 93 English Channel and I
was like oh cool I'm top 100 so I like
remembered that in my head and then
opened this yesterday's stream was so
bad I got bumped down like 12
spots I have noticed that I say the U
word quite frequently if I say it at all
the stream ends uh anyways um let me be
really clear I am not trying to like rip
on the guy who made this book from the
little bit of skimming I did it actually
seems really well made and well written
and thoughtful and you know good for
somebody I think particularly who's like
not super familiar with how twitch works
and everything so not trying to rag on
the author here I just think it'll be
funny to compare me who's a [ __ ]
weirdo to all of the advice in this book
any questions stop pirating the book and
not only did I not pirate the book I
bought it twice I bought the physical
version and then realized I can't show
this to you guys stole the book you
wouldn't download a book I did download
a book it's right here none of you guys
seem to understand how laws work at all
arrest him I'm showing you the cover of
the book you can [ __ ] Google this
okay let me kick this off what chapters
do you think are going to be relevant
for us grading My Stream So chapter one
is about like basically what twitch is
how to get into it chapter two is how to
stream on a console now really relevant
to me chapter 3 making First Impressions
I think this is good I think we go here
right creating a complete twitch Channel
like let's make sure I have a complete
twitch channel in accordance with twitch
for dummies right that's probably a good
start let me read it this is a terrible
idea cuz I'm just reading from a book
that you can't read this chapter making
First Impressions appears to be about
the info panel and I've got an info
panel I'm going to [ __ ] absolutely
Get an A+ in this one you're probably
realizing that this you know I should
have classes on for this you're probably
realizing there's a good amount you
should know before setting off on your
first stream yes maybe seeing other
twitch channels and Men you think I can
do this first impressions though are a
truly delicate thing all right I'm not
going to read every single thing uh this
is now talking about the Xbox console
again CH okay all right here we go here
we go creating an info panel this is
what we're going to be graded on when
people click on your name to visit and
hopefully follow you your channel should
tell them something about you about your
stream and about your approach to the
platform info panels are blocks of real
estate oh I think that's these things
right this is all by the way you guys
are going to grade me on my panels this
is going to be a category First
Impressions presumably all of you have
had a first impression of me at some
point I don't know how you would have
not had that so every single person here
is able to give a great hold on my
panels are actually pretty good the
first panel is an ad well listen to
maybe his suggestion is that the panel
should be an ad for factor using Code
Doug duug to get 50% off your first
order please just hear it out all right
if you're looking for a few idea for
info panels I suggest the following
streamers bio streaming schedule rules
for chat social media links yeah okay
the rest of it is about the logistics of
setting up panels so let's quickly look
through this I think the panels I have
are actually pretty good first off I
hate you with Factor everybody loves
Factor start with an ad that's like
arguably the most important thing about
me you guys know this I love ads next I
talk about my schedule this is good
stuff right here I generally stream
between two and four times a week
between Sunday and Thursday this is kind
of mostly true I feel like it's
Friday yeah you're right huh okay
donating there's a lot of money based
stuff right off the bat okay chat rules
this is good links I have two contact
emails I have an FAQ page which says my
full name is Doug douglas douglas McDon
it says I'm 30 it says I live in
Washington here I say I don't have a
schedule and then I think all of this
stuff is out of date oh this is way
outdated all right I think look memes I
know everybody's trying to fail me I
think there's other areas where I'll
fail I would argue hear me out I am
actually pretty good in terms of panels
First Impressions when you come like
let's do Incognito right if you're a
brand new viewer and you go to
twitch.tv/ dgdg you're like oh I heard
this guy is so cool and hot oh God this
is a disaster okay this is covering up
the entire twitch chat animated emotes I
don't know how to do that it's
recommending bunch of random [ __ ] and
then if you scroll down you get hit with
a factor ad I feel like this is pretty
good what grade for First Impressions I
feel like that's a solid B+ maybe a
minus dude this is not an F it's so
outdated though yeah I guess it is
pretty outdated all right
congratulations to me I am officially
passing First Impressions any notes on
this outdated wait wait hold on here's
what we'll do with grading whichever one
wins that's the grade I get so it was
like this right A C but then the next
highest grade is lower then it would be
a c minus if the next highest grade is
above C it would be a C+ right so that
way the other votes still influence it
to some degree right it would be a c
minus for First Impressions still
passing though all right let's talk
about chapter 4 is there anything in
here we need to review planning a stream
going live with your stream ending a
stream these all feel like I would I I
don't feel like I need to do this maybe
what to do after your Stream post show
production so this is like post coidal
care after you're done with stream take
your Twitch chat get them water give
them a back massage next section
congratulations on a solid first stream
don't doubt for a moment that it was a
success any first stream beginning and
ending on your terms is a successful
stream T Morris is proud of me I don't
care what you guys say about my shitty
stream yesterday uh now that the stream
is over what to do until your next
stream actually there are a few things
you can do that will not only provide
your audience with content but also give
you a chance to promote yourself and
your stream Take a Bow social media
shoutouts wait wait wait hold on I'm
supposed to be posting on Instagram uh
hug dog Instagram I don't think I'm
logged in okay so here's my Instagram
Twitter is also a fantastic Place
compose something similar to the
following tweet so after streams I'm
supposed to say whoa I just hosted my
first ever stream had a blast playing
Destiny the game with everyone and I
ended with a raid on t- Monster I think
I like streaming on Twitch thanks for
joining me # PSN # gaming # console
gamer okay hold on I'm going to try to
I'm going to try to juice my score I
tweet like once a month wait is this
stealing it's trying to credit do I
include that it's funni without the
credit right I don't I don't think the
credit should be in there otherwise it
looks like I'm just stealing instead of
like being a a good streamer or whatever
Thief but like this needs to look legit
play ISM uh I think I post it I think I
think I need to steal it I'm sorry I
need to steal it it's posted okay go
ahead and uh engage with that or
whatever be influenced or something I
think we agree that's at least like a a
grade bump up right like that was pretty
good oh [ __ ] find an image or a gift
related to your game and attach it to
the Tweet [ __ ] okay that's probably a
letter grade drop back down oh oh wait
wait this is good I don't know if you
guys have learned about this you may be
surprised to find out that YouTube is an
invaluable service okay dude let's let's
dive into this you don't say YouTube at
the time time of this writing allows you
to Archive your streams on their servers
indefinitely all you need you YouTube
YouTube chat's relevant YouTube you're
here yay okay I'm going to [ __ ] crush
this section here you go YouTube you can
have all of the space boo oh yeah and
you can export from twitch directly
YouTube that's what we do all right so
look Doug Doug Doug Doug Dragon who
manages this channel who's wonderful
uses the export feature to export from
twitch directly onto this YouTube
channel and then we post it like within
a few hours of the stream ending or like
a week or two or whatever sometimes
we're busy you know what honestly I
think pretty good across the board post
show production I think between all the
tweets I do and the Instagram and the
VOD Channel pretty decent really in F we
have a vaud channel that posts within
several weeks of the streams being done
f for plagiarism F minus for YouTube
come on come on really like I feel like
a couple more twos and we could get to a
b right fine I feel like it's really not
that bad I feel like my post Productions
fine f for no gift I didn't site my
sources and I forgot to include an image
in a gift that was it was pretty bad um
how's it how's it doing though this is
going great uhoh these are actual tags
oh well all right uh let's move on to
the next subject which is setting
schedules and managing uh oh this is not
good do we even need to read this think
about your favorite television show the
show that when it's running you never
miss an episode you don't want to wait
till all the episodes have dropped you
want to watch the series in real time
when each episode is live um we got to
vote on that I don't agree with that at
all do you watch episodes as they come
out or wait till they're all out I am
very much a b I hate having to like
watch one episode and then stop it's the
worst [ __ ] really you watch Survivor
weekly okay I agree that watching it
live for shows where you're following
with your friends is good cuz then you
like talk about each thing but for me
when I watch an episode of a show I'm
really into like an anime or True
Detective and there's like a hook at the
end that's really [ __ ] good I despise
the idea that I can't get to the
conclusion of the story I want to know
how the story goes and it just tortures
me it's awful it's just edging it's
edging for like 3 months instead of just
binging it in one or two days you know
what I mean like I don't like that
anyways all right so technically T
Morris is correct most people prefer to
watch the episodes live I am shocked by
that response but so be it is that why
you haven't read one piece no no no I
haven't read one piece cuz it's bad
common misconception I'm going to read
this from the book I think this is a
quote that I'm sharing I don't think
he's going to love the way that I stream
now try to imagine how infuriating it
would be if the broadcaster aired your
show whenever it felt like it maybe it
would play on Mondays but then it would
pop up on Thursdays because that works
out best for a week or two oh instead of
airing at 8:00 p.m. it suddenly airs at
3:30 because why not not a great start
for me I'm going to be honest with you
your schedule isn't necessarily set in
stone but you should create a core group
of days when you know you will stream
and then do what you can to stick to it
okay my core group of days is Sunday
through Friday and Saturday sometimes
that I feel like I'm actually fine there
I appreciate the 15 of you who believe
that I get an A in schedule you showing
us the book is piracy you are forcing us
into piracy yo ho yo ho a pirate's life
for we I am showing you quotes and
passages while citing the source which
is Twitch for dummies by T mors or in
this
case okay I get I get a f the author
replied on your Tweet with a video team
moris I'm so sorry for not following the
instructions oh wait wait oh wait hold
on all right this is team orus the
author so hi everyone uh I I I just got
one question here first off thank you
for all the traffic and all the shout
outs and and all the tweets that I'm
being tweeted and retweeted in you're
welcome but I got one question who did
you raid no [ __ ] ier no he's I'm not
live right now no damn it I mean I will
be live tonight at 7:30 you're more than
welcome to join me but um yeah oh [ __ ]
okay yeah it literally said wrapping up
I missed the section about rating I was
so close we need to raid all right
everybody get in the car we're going to
raid t- Morris uh raid the t- monster
okay this way technically I was correct
kind of with that tweet all right you
guys head over there give him a follow
and then ideally you know you come back
to my stream because of how good of a
streamer I am remember bye forever don't
leave me it didn't I know he's offline
but I have to I have to follow the rules
all right I did the thing he's online
okay wait did did he actually go live
well hi everyone not sure who you all
are but hi just trying to figure out
what is going on I'm assuming many of
you are here from uh I believe it's Doug
Doug Foods Channel and thank you oh
that's awesome I'll give him a follow I
understood that there was a raid going
going on which is amazing because I
wasn't live at the time and of course
one of the biggest raids I've ever
gotten I just actually revamped my
stream Monday I do spooky games and Dam
he's so good I do the Sci-Fi Saturday
that's a streamer right there chat so
what else can you see on my stream cats
he's got cats on stream God what can't
t- monster do I'm not even being
factious it's like a really good stream
all right so he's going back into his
main content if you want to check that
out go to the toner.com I don't want to
just sit here and like I mean I could
have a stream just in the corner the
whole time but no I'm not going to do
that he's so much better than you well
look can we all agree at least that once
he goes Offline that you'll come back to
me you'll come crawling back to Old Doug
right you still I mean it's not that bad
of a stream 2,000 people haven't come
back damn it why did I make the mistake
of showing them T moner this is like if
you're like dating somebody and then you
show them your best friend and then
suddenly they're dating your best friend
and you're locked out right you like
ruin your whole relationship I can't
keep introducing you guys to new people
I'm never going to mention another
streamer again live cucking all right we
got to move on do you guys have any
notes for schedule that we're putting in
my report card notes are T monster is
better all right all right all right
let's find a new chapter chapter 6
improving your stream being your own
harshest critic let me set the stage
here you've streamed a few times you
feel like you're finding a Groove and
now you've returned here for more tips
welcome back after a couple gaming
sessions you may be working on that
balance between you your game and your
chat maybe you've managed to keep the
schedule you've set for yourself such a
tight schedule that scientists could
calibrate astronomical instruments by it
not exactly but it has felt somewhat
difficult to find the viewers the
numbers just aren't there I mean my
viewers are really low right now cuz I
sent them all to t- monster and most
people haven't come back the inherent
problem with streaming popular games is
you guessed it popularity yes you're
streaming the popular strategy game
League of Legends but depending on the
time of day and what's happening in
twitch hundreds or thousands of others
are also streaming it popularity is a
double-edged sword and it may yield
mixed if not disappointing results all
right let's look at my stream breakdown
of like what games I have streamed on
Twitch the most popular games right now
let's browse just chatting GTA 5 League
of Legends FIFA by comparison let us
look at my list okay just chatting GTA 5
Skyrim pegle novel High more pegle these
are getting more obscure Pajama Sam
Freddy fish 3 I mean these are some of
the classics horse when did I play 2.4
hours of farming simulator I have no
idea what hair salon was you fell off
after hair salon average I played 15
minutes of it what is this what is hair
hair salon the game this doesn't exist
what was this I don't understand what's
happening oh wait wait hold on streaming
retro games this is good this is
relevant for Pajama Sam for sure pros of
streaming retro games summed up in a
single word nostalgia watching modern
day Gamers play Classics from the early
days is just plain fun I mean I didn't
technically Play Pajama Sam wait what
did we learn this is we've been all over
the place I don't remember I was busy at
t- monsters choosing what games to
stream and reviewing your streams
overall impression that was what we're
gring this feels like a category I
actually do well in right I have a mix
of popular games like Grand Theft Auto
or talking or pegle plus mixed with old
things that like retro type stuff that
makes it more Niche cuz then I can
capture the audience that is is looking
for Pajama Sam content and a vote for f
is a vote that pegle is an F just to be
clear thank you finally twitch chat
agrees that I'm incredible as a streamer
in every way in the category of choosing
games any
notes bells and whistles n addon
creating an introductory imager video
assigning moderators working with I
don't think we need any of this oh wait
yeah we don't I don't have any mods
because I banned them all because I made
a bot that allowed regular viewers to
sacrifice themselves to take down the
mods I damn quick sparse no we lost the
last mod oops hold on we got to look at
the mod section Channel moderators even
if you made use of bots there's still a
need for people real people to assist
you with your stream these are people
who are responsible these are people you
know these are people you trust let's do
a test our two mods right now are
solcius and roach roach your favorite
movie I'm going to guess this year Lord
of the Rings that's your favorite movie
series of all time yes or no oh my God
you're so right really okay I do know my
mods I've never seen it God damn it okay
well well anyways I don't think you
necessarily need to know like everything
about mods it's more of a mutual trust
moderators are the individuals who pick
up the sword and defend your chat hey uh
mods I need some defense can you kill a
guy just kill anybody I need defense
from my mods I'm so scared help me mods
the best defense is a good offense just
kind of take a couple out back yeah okay
yeah there we go all right yeah just
keep killing a few more people I I'm so
scared and helpless when wielding the
moderator badge the individual has a
responsibility to enforce the rule oh
the rules oh never mind guys stop
killing people it's supposed to just be
based on on the rules if somebody breaks
a rule then kill them or whatever as a
mod you're taking on the responsibility
of someone else's chat and you're
participating while at the same time
offering a degree of lenience when
people visiting a stream are critical of
how you play I give that polite warning
of I see you and then it's a game of
where the exchange goes mods can you
just kind of tag a bunch of people all
right I'm seeing roach is just sort of
killing people randomly um can you also
at a bunch of people and just say I see
you in all caps I feel like that'll help
build a lot of trust oh no they see us
oh Mano you've been seeing Eric Burger
you've been spotted look out cuz you
guys need to remember every one of my
moderators is an eye of Sauron who
glares down at the viewers and if he
catches you if he looks directly at you
then you're [ __ ] and the mod will take
you down out back and ban you that's how
much trust we've built up it's all based
off of roach's favorite movie we need
more mods well we're going to get more
mods in like a day when they're all
unbanned all right so in terms of
moderation Chad how do you feel we're
doing I think we have a solid team of
mods there's a strong degree of trust
and they are looking directly at you
they are still for your consideration
randomly Banning people all right hey
great job Ms thank you for boosting the
score it's an official a minus
congratulations any notes for
mods I wonder what the team monster will
think about you Banning 4,000 of your
viewers for 12 [ __ ] days I'm still
banned until Sunday [ __ ] you God speed
you beautiful beautiful we're losing so
many people D there's probably a section
about how that's a good thing you got to
keep your viewers in line all right look
so far straight up passing great let's
keep going part three leveling up with
twitch is leveling with two L's huh did
not know that interesting I mean I knew
that oh this okay this is how I'm
supposed to introduce streams all right
let's take a quick look at a typical
stream intro from
[Music]
me what
up that seemed pretty good let's get
into it how you handle your introduction
is up to you but think about how to make
a strong first impression and craft a
cool
intro sup when you go live you're
establishing yourself as a personality
that people will enjoy and anxiously
wait for it to go live
again Su you want that first impression
to be a positive one so you have to work
on
it Su when it comes to an introduction
you should always include the following
the stream's name if it has one the the
name of your stream
host sup a quick introduction of who you
are and what you're planning to do up is
the stre working it's not showing up for
me any possible changes to your schedule
for the day hello and welcome to another
episode of
[Music]
Doug and I'm perfectly on time for
example this is a potential opening to a
stream that I should be doing good
evening chat you're gaming with the t-
monster how are you this Titan Taco
Tuesday I hope it was a good start to
the day for those of you new to the
stream you can call me tea or t- Monster
or twitch Dad I am a Science Fiction and
Fantasy author I'm a podcaster and I
play
[Music]
Destiny so I feel like there's a lot of
info that you can glean from sub all
right cool a minus what else we got oh
okay this section is about responding to
chat that's like a really really
important one getting good at
multitasking responding to chat when
you've nailed down or roughed out your
approach to your introduction you have
to figure out how to fill your stream
with content conversation invites
participation from chat and also draws
those new to your chat into the
community you're building the real
question how do you hold conversations
with chat while gaming I don't know I do
need to learn this your chat should
understand though this is going to be
really important I bet so please listen
stop being upset at me when you have
hundreds of people in your chat gets a
little difficult to catch everyone's
greetings questions or comments usually
any intention arising from Miss comments
is disarmed the H says sorry if I missed
your comments in chat this game can get
a little crazy do I read your chat
messages there's four people you've
never read a single one of my messages
well sorry if I missed your comments in
chat this game can get a little crazy
all you accepted by the way I know a lot
of people have been upset cuz I've been
looking at the comments on the YouTube
Bobs and people have mentioned that they
want YouTube chat to actually have more
visibility cuz I'm basically not reading
any of the comments ever with the
YouTube chat at that point it's like why
am I even streaming on YouTube in the
first place and to that I just want to
say sorry if I missed your comments in
chat this game can get a little crazy
cool now right we want equal rights I'm
going to kind of ignore whatever else
you're saying I don't care I feel like I
do an okay job at replying to chat
messages and consider this at least 90%
of what you guys say is total [ __ ]
so it's not really on me right okay this
might be the first F minus you ignore me
unless I give you money just like my
family POG I'm trying there's a lot of
children here next section let's take a
look at how my stream typically ends
here we go oh no okay this this is a
pretty good way to end the stream I mean
I don't even know and then it ended cuz
somebody killed it that's a pretty good
ending what about the last
ending oh damn it
I feel like my outros are pretty decent
putting together your closing comments
is no different from putting together an
intro same approach only you're doing at
the end so with your earlier suggestions
for intros in mind here are a few ideas
to consider for an ending right then I'm
calling it a stream it's your support
that helps this shut the [ __ ] up I'm
doing an outro stop thank you everyone
for the love and support I'll see you
all tomorrow night 8:00 p.m. Eastern and
we'll be back with more Destiny take
care of yourselves I don't feel like I'm
that far off to be honest finally the
stream is over no no no that was a fake
that was a fake outro you guys still
have to stay here no I I want to be
clear I'm not playing Destiny at 8:00
p.m. tomorrow there's like a birthday
party I'm going to be at I'm not I
didn't promise no I'm sorry we're going
to have to move it we're moving it to
next week we're going to play Destiny
and Detroit become human next week sorry
about not playing Destiny 2 tomorrow
this game can get crazy you lied to us
we can get a backup okay come on three
two
one it's a perfect tie what do we do I
guess it's to
see so does this mean no Titan Taco
Tuesday then guys we're not going to re
vote I know literally one vote would
have made the difference I am also
canceling Titan Taco Tuesday I don't
even know what that means okay there's
more things to learn about chapter 12
from Hobby to side hustle to full-time
job finding money-making opportunities I
want to know that I want to finally
squeeze you guys like a tuba toothpaste
for all the money that you have the more
ads oh oh oh yeah I forgot I can run ads
okay hey chat start squeezing okay cool
cool um remember these ads benefit the
channel so please don't skip them wait
can you skip ads on Twitch is that a
thing have you guys been skipping them
do you get to the District very often
the team monster thank you so much for
the raid I hope you had a great stream
wait is there something in the book
about what I should say when I get a
raid there probably is that's what I
normally say but that's probably not
even the right thing team moner thanks
for writing the book this book this has
been a lot of fun to go through I don't
think you necessarily need my book
you're doing just fine it's fun
comparing what is I would say good
advice for somebody starting streaming
with the disaster that is my stream case
in point expressing yourself with emotes
these tiny images of hype and Mischief
serve as ambassadors to your channel and
should be something your subs enjoy
using both in your chat in the chat of
other streamers the problem is that we
did a stream where twitch chat lost
YouTube chat so I took away all their
emotes except the toad one it's just
YouTube or
twitch YouTube get it oh get [ __ ] twitch
I have 60 open slots and 60 animated
slots it's just all unused I have had a
very good time highlighting all the like
severe deficiencies with my stream uh
now that we've got lots of toad emotes I
guess should we just should we vote on
emotes as a category we also have
Revenue opportunities so we talked about
ads hold on let me skip ahead to the
other ways to earn money so we'll do
emotes and earning money as a category
and we'll lump those together whether
you have solid gaming skills Vibrant
Community or combination you may be able
to land product sponsorship for your
stream okay wait wait wait hold on are
there examples for how to do the sponsor
oh okay this is just about reaching out
to sponsors unfortunately guys there's
no info in the book about like how to do
a sponsorship so I will just do kind of
my best shot here buy Factor you cheap
[ __ ] buy it right now
all right that should work anyway so in
terms of sponsorships and viewer rewards
what are you guys thinking okay I do I
get an F that one's probably deserved to
be honest all right let's uh let's get
into what I think is the lack section
building your Twitch Community that's
probably kind of important Doug do you
want to play lethal company with my
friends and die is this about building
your Twitch Community I'm busy that day
I have to go get circumcised or
something literally anything else let's
dive into this very important subject
who is the fam and why do they matter
they go by many names the fam street
team chat some streamers have their own
unique names for them legendaries Ador
buets the Monster Mash we are not going
to use any of these ever I will ban
anybody who attempts to make this our
name we are the fam I mean I kind of the
fam is funny cuz at no point have have
we ever mentioned that in any way just
call us the reddens no one's using that
right no I'll just say the fam you don't
get my last name but we your family hold
on okay what's our name the fam dougl
the dog pound it's not really like a dog
environment going on here though I don't
think of you as dogs dog pack why dogs
there a bunch of like dirty grimy smelly
untrained unwashed dogs okay hold on do
I have to say the whole name every time
I refer to you all right so when
somebody Subs now I got to be like all
right wait I got to look for a sub xand
derka one thank you so much for the sub
I appreciate it welcome to the dirty
grimy smelly untrained unwashed dogs you
piece of [ __ ] I feel like that's really
going to land if a follow or a sub
occurs address it when you have a free
moment okay so I just kind of look at
you till I get a sub I
[Music]
guess did it work oh cool Zan man subbed
all right that's actually not too hard
take a moment Zan man thank you for the
subscription or do I wait did it even
say it just said address it okay I guess
let's just everybody um just acknowledge
it in some way
rgw fancy inquis flof CJ Newman what if
what if somebody new comes in they're
like I don't really like Doug's Channel
he just sits there saying the names of
the subscribers there's no content mojis
jpg I see toana zoom on my mouth yeah
good call
sigas K Del
t96 [ __ ] [ __ ] I addressed him wrong oh
damn it that was some pretty good you
should take a moment of silence to
address these what how would a moment of
silence help me address what do you mean
okay moment of silence for the people
[Music]
subscribing it's ruined I'm the worst
streamer this going terribly oh oh oh
okay hold on the fam includes other
streamers competition between streamers
is omnipresent viewers have to choose
where their attention will go and
sometimes I win sometimes I don't wait
so who am I fighting with right now
small ant eight more magic Arps and then
I'm free come on you mother [ __ ] I
didn't realize we were fighting how dare
he stream at the same time as me uh this
competition while always in the
background oh isn't okay cool never mind
uh we're cool uh thanks small you're
you're great to the contrary I find that
other streamers are part of the
community I'm building oh thank God I
was going to have to murder small ant
false alarm so when a streamer swings by
your channel and hangs out make sure to
say hi and have a shout out to the ready
oh I missed a lot of messages from point
Crow apparently he got banned by the
mods hey Point Crow I'm sorry I missed
your message in chat earlier this game
can get pretty crazy all right cool I
think we're covered there wait what is
it Family Matter is the Unseen community
members early in this chapter I talk
about the fam but now I want to turn
into a serious matter that should be the
topy realist consideration not the fam
but you're sharing the same roof family
don't K yourself they're a part of your
community and they have a say in how
your Twitch stream runs [ __ ] I have
barely talked to my brother and sister
recently [ __ ] you don't time for your
[ __ ] let me live my wife Julia can
be a real [ __ ] she was sending me nice
pictures of her son the other day so
that should be taken care of and that
means more time for streaming okay now
