It seems like the Tourette's chick likes to tell tall stories. Apparently in the UK, they don't print the platform on the tickets. There have been some other stories that I don't have clips for.
I can confirm as a regular train user.
UK Train tickets do not say what platform the train will be on because the network is so shitty they change platforms all the time because of being late.
Not sure how her journey could have so many changes that are confusing either.
Maybe she was on the London Underground and while changing underground trains, she lost her Overground Train ticket and didn't know which station she was departing from and therefore which underground train to get next as London has quite a few train stations for outward journies.
That would make her retarded though.

thats pretty crazy, i dunno what their viewer numbers are like but i imagine medhi pulls in less than lirik who still peaks around 30-40k for big streams and 20k or so for regular.
I remember a big Destiny streamer went to facebook gaming, I forget his name but it was like King Goliath or something. I totally get the appeal though, its better to get a guaranteed $3-4m right now and not have to worry about twitch banning your account for whatever insane thing someone comes up with next, or Metallica deciding your farts sound like Enter Sandman.
It is pretty wild the ups and downs of content creator careers, ninja streams like 1-2 times a month now and he was the biggest video game streamer in the world a few years ago with Drake playing alongside him. Now two literal autistic sperglords, xQc and asmongold, are the worlds biggest streamers. crazy.

Someone on the internet lied to get people to like them? Shocking

Saying certain words is bannable, she showed them proof of it being a medical condition and they reinstated her account.

I watched him occasionally playing GTA RP and he probably averages 1/10 of what his brother does. Can only imagine it must have made sense financially to switch over to FB?? Twitch viewership keeps rising at a pretty impressive level so I would think it is the platform with the most earning potential. Good to see people that put a lot of time and effort into their careers reaping some rewards.

I just don't understand who the fuck watches any lives streams, much less gaming content, on fucking FB! I remembered a few years ago when I found out that Tradechat chick streamed there and wondered who the fuck watched that? Her granny? Still, if someone payed me a few mill to stream there, I'd probably do it, even if no-one watched.

My understanding is these contracts pay out over time for X amount of hours per week streamed, so you still get subscription, donation, and ad revenue on top of that. The lower subscription, donation, and ad revenue is kind of offset by the contract payments. These contracts are generally considered "short term", so like 1-3 years, and the stability of income is a big plus for some lesser known streamers. I also believe there are stronger exit/termination clauses that favor the streamer, so if you make a bad joke on twitter and get "cancelled" you still can get some payout.
The problem with switching platforms is that literally no one is going to follow you to that platform because Twitch is where everyone else is. No streamer who has chosen to switch platforms, including Shroud, has been remotely successful because of that. You can do OK on YouTube, as Dr. Disrespect has shown, but you'll never replace the sheer volume of users and reach that Twitch has.That's why so many streamers who took contracts with Facebook, YouTube, etc. usually end up back on Twitch after their contract ends.

I think you're right about the switching part for sure. But original YouTube content creators seem to do better streaming on YouTube b/c that is where their audience is. A few have talked about that and how it isn't worth their time streaming on Twitch because all of their users are from YouTube. So there's a platform for reach based on where your primary content resides and switching off that platform may not work out. I watched Doc on Twitch all the time. And even though I do watch a few YouTube livestreams I've maybe watched Doc on there a handful. Even using both platforms for the same thing I didn't even make the transition.
