Why not just use twitch.tv for something like this? I'd be much more likely to watch if i could follow there.

I’d love the idea of “Twitch goes fishing”, where viewers vote to control the boat (heading, speed, the crane, etc).

“Oh look! There’s a storm coming from the East!”

Captain and seamen onboard panic as they watch the Twitch input stream.

This article gives some context https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/12/ship-of-horror...

That is a tragic story, but it has nothing to do with this submission.

The context is that live streaming should prevent abuse of this sort.

That isn't context unless this video stream is a direct result of that story.

But it is, no? Why livestream a fishing boat if people weren't concerned about working conditions on them?

Because it's interesting to watch.

Not much happening, but at least I get to see sun and daylight in late spring live from where I am, where it is dark, night and almost winter :)

Here you go - a local beach - its always sunny, all..the..time https://www.coastalwatch.com/surf-cams-surf-reports/qld/cool...

Not the work conditions, it's about quota and by-catch management.

The government is rolling out mandatory cameras in areas inhabited by a critically endangered dolphin.

Nice choice of beach! I would’ve also accepted Rainbow Bay ;)
