Hey folks, thanks for the great feedback. I'm going to continue going through these threads and iterate on this idea some more this weekend. Feel free to give me a follow on my twitch channel https://twitch.tv/ellg -- I do a lot of programming on there and would love to have some more people stop by and chat :)

This is interesting because you can incentivise people to go to other streams by offering them multipliers for every raid they join (or something). You'd have a network of people who are watching ads for the chance of having their ad watched!
Reminds me of those mid 2000s sites where you'd watch ads to earn credits to either cash out or spend on your own ads. Was always the default answer to "how to make money online". Forget what the name for that type of site was.

The other stranger did not consent to being situation where the rando was shirtless, though. Them being shirtless without telling the other person in advance, is harm that theyd be causing in the first place.
Consent was given implicitly by browsing chatroulette. Or so is the mainstream rhetoric used for third party cookies "consent".

I remember quite a while back, Chat Roulette song improv was a big thing. It was the guy in the hoodie - PianoChatImprov on Youtube. I just looked it up and, wow, that was 10 years ago. This was also before Chat Roulette became nothing but dongs.
the question is, would it be possible to implement something like that in a way where dong shows don't take over? What is it exactly that turned chat roulette into that?
twitch is one of the platforms where I feel like I've struggled the most to get viewers. just playing my main game like Dota wasn't too productive since I'm not a pro or super hot so my value proposition there isn't too compelling. Instead I've been trying to focus more on streaming myself programming and learning new scientific or game programming libraries and have been enjoying it quite a bit. My viewer count is v…
How do you broadcast yourself coding? Is it terribly CPU (ie battery life) or network intensive?

Hello! I work on the video platform @ twitch. We’ve been working a lot on that issue. Viewer count numbers should be significantly faster today and will get even more responsive soon!
As a viewer I'm not sure I'd like this happening but for smaller streamers, a notification/message telling you that a viewer has joined or left might be useful.

As a streamer I would say that a streamer should never act as if no one is watching. Many viewers never feel like chatting and that's fine. And sometimes people will watch vods after the fact. For myself, I purposely disable the metrics so that my mood can't be affected by viewership numbers.
>I purposely disable the metrics so that my mood can't be affected by viewership numbers. Thats a great tip, I didn't even know that was possible with Twitch.

I'm kinda surprised there was a "before" in that situation. I presumed that was what was going tonhappen from the get-go. Perhaps I am too cynical.
Sadly, no. At the beginning it was mostly random people. Unfortunately, you need very little to ruin things - most normal people will not play even with a 10% chance of getting a dong, and the more “normies” leave, the higher that chance gets, in a vicious circle.
On a related note, there used to be a site, https://twitch-tools.rootonline.de/ , where you could find "uncategorized" streams with no game set. All sorts of strange broadcasts live there, from pirate sports casts to whole movies streamed to the most random garbage, but the owner took most of the site down after Twitch requested that they stop scraping the site ( https://twitter.com/CommanderRoot/status/1250486976547…

You'll need to get a set of Twitch API credentials from https://dev.twitch.tv/dashboard/apps/create and store the ID/Secret in config.json. Once you start the go program just point your browser to http://localhost:8080/ and you can browse through streams with no gameid set 50 at a time.

This sounded like a fun idea so I threw together a quick Go project to test it out / learn some go. https://gitlab.com/ibelimb/twitch-no-gameid You'll need to get a set of Twitch API credentials from https://dev.twitch.tv/dashboard/apps/create and store the ID/Secret in config.json.
