I WATCH YOUR VODS! Vods is good to watch full gamethroughs. Esp when I'm grinding a game with zombie mode brain, vods become entertaining.

I watch vods as well, particularly when it's a game I really like. (For me that'd be WoW Arena, RIsk of Rain 2 w/ that mod and thats prob it lol)

Honestly there's literally no difference between watching VODs and lives if you're a lurker anyway and like 90% of viewers are lurkers...

chance literally always talks about how he doesn't wanna be that big on twitch and don't want new viewers tho

True, but that was also a time when he was top 5. Maybe even higher. It's all a punch to ego, and its sort of sad that new success on twitch is all the same shit.

Soda is the only streamer I sub to because he is the OG and a feral Druid god

I think it's mostly due to language and there isn't a big streaming culture like it's so much smaller compared to NA or Asia. It's pretty small here.

I am from EU and i think it is deffinetly Time Zone, I do not mind listening to people with bad language, for me I can not watch a EU streamer becauase at the time I am at work.

[@preetu9028]

peakead in highschool OMEGALUL

[@F34RDSoldier805]

Pretty sure we don't know these other language speaking content creators because of the algorithm feeding us only English speaking content creators. A part can be because there are more english speakers in the world, like in EU countries, many people speak English but in English speaking countries like the US almost nobody goes around speaking German. I have not heard 1 person speak German in person. There are many countries that speak Spanish so there are huge Spanish speaking content creators as well. That's what makes the most sense to me. But the algorithm is a huge part in how we perceive who is the "biggest" content creator.

[@ENVE5]

Me watching an edit of a VOD from twitch on youtube >.> "Yeah.. who t.f. would watch a vod..."

[@JustMurkingNoobs]

I haven't watched Soda in years because of what he plays on stream, I thought we had a mutual understanding that he does WOW and no one bothers him. Is he surprised

[@cs82271]

I'm a loser who spends way too much time watching content creators so I frequently watch gaming vods that might make me laugh like simulators or horror games because KZbin has run dry on content for me.

I mean vods are better than streams. You get the videos whenever you want. You can skip the stupid parts. Like when he took 50 minutes to find the yellow marked shed in rdr2

Auronplay (Spain) has like 9 million followers on Twitch. ElRubius (also Spain) has millions of subscribers on KZbin.

[@JTuckerF]

I think we know where you're from.

[@MrHardstylefever]

@1:40 its simple. Europeans are better gamers but we are HORRIBLE performers. While NA is the complete opposite, you are mediocre at games at best, but damn you are among the best entertainers there are. Also Language is a huge factor aswell, we speak a dozen different Languages in Europe which limits the amount of possible viewers drastically. And not everyone here is able to speak decent english either *cough French cough*

[@derbigpr500]

I wouldn't say europeans are horrible performers, it's just that it's hard to perform in a different language than your native.

EU frog here. Here in germany every streamer is just on this relateable lets copy NA trip. They recently even started copying GTA RP. And memes like the cringe orange are NOW starting to kick in here, yes the 2014 cringelord meme. The content here is so bad, but its seen as "abnormal" for me to know all this NA shit. My friends no nothing about twitter, the lgbtq drama, the stereotypes, they dont even know what edgy means. I think i only have one or two friends who know much but not as much as me. I still dont want to live in NA would rather die in a car accident in EU then in NA and leave my family with 100k debt. Anyways love the streams keep the vods up(hehe).

[@TheSeforian]

Yea that is insane how the meta is doing. If you not doing meta games and just enjoy yourself you kinda hurting your channel. This is how the small or new streamers deal with all the time. I personally enjoy your variety streams more, like when you play things you enjoy, stream feels more cozy and it is more chill. :peepoblanket: Also there is this dude called Forsen he is kinda EU too or something, but still if you in EU you kinda do not matter. LUL

[@TheLiquidCastle]

there is actually a german streamer that's reasonably big. "montanablack" averages the viewer numbers of asmon, i believe edit: he only does german streams, no english ones, therefore no global audience, still on huge numbers
