What Stream is Best Stream?

As you guys know, I can't stream all day errey day. My work schedule more or less leaves me with only night-time streaming as an option. While I'm busy at work, I manage to lurk a bit here and there. I've noticed that our viewer count drastically decreases when certain "factors" are in effect. I'll try my best to explain what I mean.

CHAT: I'm not a believer in telling people what to talk about. It's extremely easy for me to ignore dumb comments, so I have faith that others can do the same. I don't like when people try to moderate what others say in the chat, be it a streamer or ESPECIALLY a viewer; if people can't say whatever the fuck they want, we may as well not even have a chat.

I personally get annoyed when the chat turns into facebook, because after-all, we are a video game stream, but even that can't really be helped. I like getting to know people as well as chat video games, but drama need not apply. People don't come to Vinesauce chat to see us arguing with each other, and that's not an opinion.


GUEST STREAMERS: I'm giving this guest streaming thing a try so people from other streams can check us out and we can fill some dead-time (which, let's not fool ourselves, there is dead-time.) Remember we're giving them a try, so feedback is important. If you guys don't even like the idea of guest streamers, you HAVE TO LET ME KNOW. I'm an easily approachable person and I'm open to how you guys feel; viewers and streamers alike.


VINESAUCE STREAMERS: If the guest streamer has been on for a while and you want to stream something, ask them nicely, they'll get off and then you stream! It's easy as that. We only stream on one page, so of course, we're not all gonna get a chance to stream on a daily basis at the exact time we want. Sacrifice and patience are as important as being a great streamer.


SKYPE CLUSTERFUCKS: I really, really don't like skype calls with lots of people in them. I avoid them when I'm streaming as much as possible. My exceptions are Mario Retardy and drinking games. A clusterfuck can ruin the immersion of a single player game and it's been proven to drop our viewer count. Also consider the viewers from livestream, they join to see a game they like and the audio isn't even remotely related. Clusterfucks have a time and a place.


So these are the things I really wanted to get off my chest. Is this all too much? Am I being fair? Let me know in the comments.
