The Problem With Content Creators (w/ Squeex)

[@crimsoneclipse0618]

Watching this live is so funny. For context, this was around the end of a Interview Chat about their Jobs segment, and he was about to end stream in 20 minutes and wanted one last interview. Squeex jumps in, and they proceeded to yap for another hour and thirty minutes lmao.

Out of all the social medias twitch implemented the vertical scroll feature the worst, no one is gonna scroll through a slow loading random part of someone's full live stream, that is horribly cropped, and watch the full thing, maybe the could've implemented it with vods somehow, but that would entail an upload feature which i don't think twitch has

[@crediblesalamander8056]

they just need to do it with short clips. if you like the clip, you might check out the livestream. it's how piratesoftware blew up.

I have never heard of Squeex before the hitman video but holy hell is he speaking facts. So many people out there obsessed with numbers and don't even know why. He is a bit too cynical though but I definitely feel the same on some days.

[@Dschonathan]

Watch his session with Dr. K. I usually can't stand watching those but with Squeex it was something else. I guess their shared background made them connect extra fast (they were both raging dota nerds that just started doing what they love instead)

I had the same feeling from school vs work. When I was working the summers I'd just check out when the shift was over but during the semester I would constantly feel like I could be working on my other assignments or studying for exams for basically all hours of the day

[@xandroid001]

I really love the dynamics of these two. Love how complimenting their humors are.

[@Friezje]

One of the main reasons i don't use twitch anymore is because of all the random and forced ads and prerolls. Makes it really hard to watch something, especially multiple streamers. It adds up if you'd subscribe to multiple streamers. If you compare that you youtube premium you just get way more value for.money.

Squeex having the mindset that he has enough viewers and money and at some point growth is meaningless is extremely based.

[@greenoftreeblackofblue6625]

True, but it's not art it's just living your life which I still think is better then striving forever for nothing. But it's not art and I think being cynical on that is not much, but it is genuine.

[@randomshotz13]

Depends on your "real job" tbf, the position I'm in, there's so much potential work that could be done and it all increases the chance I progress and earn more. It can make it hard to check out especially with working from home half the week. The plus side is I like my job but I do regularly put in extra hours. It's like being a small-medium business or streamer it will pay dividends and then when I'm a bit older I can settle and hopefully be earning loads. I worry about building bad habits that prevent me from checking out when I'm older and higher up the ladder though.

[@DarrenDayo0903]

Big A & Squeex podcast or just a lot more content needed. This duo just works

[@stt.9433]

Streaming is not hard but it's like anyone who is an entrepreneur or is creating a startup. You can always do more and the success of your company or product is directly tied to you so you can always do more to get better numbers. It's not easy to set the boundaries for yourself and actually most entrepreneur simply don't and just work 24/7, same goes for some streamers like Xqc. I'm a little bit in that phase right with my current job now so somewhat know how it feels but actually enjoy it. I like struggling and grinding up to something otherwise I get bored. There's nothing worse in life then being bored at your job.

[@RyanLynch1]

[@hiiamelecktro4985]

4:09 just for context. He said that after talking for 8 hours straight on stream, he feels like his social battery is drained. Which is something most real jobs don’t do, unless you work in the service sector.

[@EefFreef]

I like how the title of the video implies that Squeex is the problem with content creators

[@tryptanite9218]

this is why we love hitman content cuz Atrioc truly enjoys it

[@bfc9467]

On what is "harder", idk. But I do genuinely think streaming would be harder mentally. At least for me, it is not something I would wanna do. The being unable to check out and having your mental state determined by some numbers, sounds insanely stressful. I have uploaded tiktoks or youtube videos before which I worked hard on (delisted now). And even though the ONLY reason I made them was for fun, how they were received really affected me. One time I got a single negative comment and deleted my acct lol. I didn't want it to affect me, I told myself it wasnt important. But it still does. idk, the stress of being a youtuber/streamer just seems too much. Its really not easy to "just switch off" or "just dont care"

[@marc-y5e]

The Twitch discussion is genuinely so funny. The only reason I don’t use Twitch is because the app and website are just too bloated with random stuff and they all make absolutely zero sense. It was nice to see people relate to that even though they work in the field

I think the point squeaks was making halfway through the vid was that the difference is Paris Hilton wasn't the one talking s*** to other people, whereas drama talkers today have a double standard. It's like if the paparazzi got mad about them being a famous paparazzi person and now being followed by a bunch of paparazzi, shit is just weird

Streaming isn’t a hard job, but it’s not for everyone. Most of my favorite Internet personalities have jobs and lives outside of the internet, so they can be real. They don’t care about analytics and how many people like them as much. They just do what they want to make, and that passion always comes through.

[@gingertew9249]

[@RyBrown]

haven’t watched yet but I think it’s really tough to strike a balance between creating something meaningful and something that people want to watch. I think Atrioc does a good job with marketing mondays, but there’s a reason reality tv is so popular. For actual creatives (not people trying to milk the algorithm for money), oftentimes, the content they create does not align with the content they wish to create. just my two cents

[@Tnscla]

Of course its down, you open a stream and get a 2 min unskipable ads, then you close it. You cant go back/fowards, even vods are full of ads. Vods should have a way to know what parts are popular and stuff too so ppl can watch it. Its weird.

The problem with Squeex (w/ Squeex)

[@just.jo.no.one.else1]

11:20 I think the main difference I see here is that in the YT and Twitch space, creators are like celebrities in a way to a lot of the viewers, so it's a little weirder having the "celebrities" all publicly making videos covering one another's drama in detail instead of like the press/paparazzi doing it. Y'know? Like the creator becomes both celebrity and journalist in this scenario and that's why it's weirder and "incestuous" lmao like it's the same cycle, but the roles are more consolidated now

Which makes it fucking stupid. Literally just that simple feature turns it from a bad move into a smart one at the very least.

[@SilharaTheChosen]

Nah squeex is completely correct on his point of genuine vs chasing a meta. You can both play video games, you can both try new things of course, but if one is genuinely passionate about the game (or whatever) and the other just obviously following the meta then which do you think is gonna be more enjoyable as a viewer in general?
