What streaming means for the future of entertainment | Emmett Shear

Super positive communities like Fortnite and LoL.

That little Twitch intermission was cool! I definitely agree streaming is the future. Live chats during streams are so fun and if the streamer is able to do community events with chat and with the stream, it makes it even better

You barely can find a friend or talk to someone there. You just watch someone's playing a game and talking. You can write something to the chat, but there're so many messages that you'll barely be noticed and get a reply. You just watch. It's almost the same as TV. There are ads and prime accounts

[@pizza87760]

That's because you're watching a stream with 100+ people. Find a stream with less than 10 viewers.

[@Roman-uj1qv]

@@pizza87760 if it's a good streamer, he'll likely become more popular after some time. What's then? Should I look for another "little campfire"?

[@pizza87760]

@@Roman-uj1qv If you were active in the community when they were still small you're all but guaranteed to be a pillar of the community by that point. you'll be a mod and/or an event organizer working behind the scenes. You'll have direct contact with the streamer and their closest friends (seeing as at this point you are one). You will basically be near the very center of the community that you helped grow. Every message you write will be read and responded to by 1,000s of people.

[@Roman-uj1qv]

@@pizza87760 have you had such experience? You know, it sounds good but too optimistically. Anyway, you're at least partly right

[@pizza87760]

@@Roman-uj1qv Talk to anyone that is a part of something big who was there from the very start, you'll hear a similar story. The "too optimistic" part is your small time streamer blowing up, not the part where you become right hand man of the start-up streamer who hit the big time.

[@chrisp8259]

While not the most polished talk, this was actually very interesting. I've always had a pretty negative view of streaming and the cynic in me wants to say I'd rather a real campfire, but this seems like a step in the right direction

Funfact: you still can! There are many traditional Cafés where you can still read big newspapers in those fancy antique newspaper-holders, drink amazing coffee and have a cultured discussion about the latest political affairs and cultural scandals in the city. As an Austrian I can recommend "Café Central", "Café Landtmann", and "Café Mozart" for the original emperial era flair! Cheers stranger!

[@Johnnyvo30]

Theres so much contradiction, and irony in this talk.

[@pXnTilde]

Example?

[@Johnnyvo30]

Andrew Rakos Campfire experiences, build culture. But Twitch requires you to play video games at home alone. No one go to the bar, or sit on the couch at their friends house to watch Twitch.

[@farey3467]

Interesting listening to this in a post-COVID world, crazy how some streamers really blew up just in the past 2-3 years!

This is fun. Working on a college paper and I randomly see Cohh pop up on a TED talk. Fun times.

[@groznyentertainment]

When I was 10 I used to record to vhs the super Nintendo games, then I found it to be entertaining to watch them later on.

[@simplecop123]

This is quite unprofessional for channel like TED to not update the speaker details in description. They just choose to go with copy paste for every video. Even unpopular youtube channels has that common sense.

[@Radicus]

This feels more like marketing campaign than TED talk. Companies are trying to soften up people to give up traditional games and push them behind streaming services. People have to pay for a streaming access and for a game they want to play. Very anti-consumer practice.

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

The future is live streaming. I'm on twitch and it's a great community! I love seeing regulars come watch me on my stream.

[@ringrev]

A person with skin in the game, having founded a platform for a particular technology, a platform that is now angling to grow their subscribers for all segments, and he is touting the benefits of this technology? NO, SURELY THIS CANNOT BE SO.

[@pvptime2108]

Well in future at VR streaming just will increase and will be more interesting, I think. Also many people still doesn't know what Twitch is and game streaming. Some people like just watch instead play. Casual games to watch someone playing like Devil May Cry for completing missions can be really interesting. Well, cya at Twitch.

[@alisohid4221]

This is very essential presentation about entertainment in the future. I think entertainment should depand of people's mind what kinnda taste they are going to gain.It might be watching game on TV or laptop etc either going to stadium to watch the live stream and support the favourite one.

[@KerrBox92]

i'm almost the contrary to what he's saying, i like single player games, don't watch people stream and only watch people i find funny like dashie or itsreal85 play games that i am either already familiar with or am considering buying lol

[@ukaszstec470]

Wow. An actual TED talk.

[@paulrussell1207]

Don't worry, it's back to a large Nigerian woman introducing a choir who will sing a spiritual about pop-up micro-businesses in Lagos slums tomorrow.

[@huehuehuenyuck-nyuck2787]

Is it just me or are his sideburns different lengths???

[@LiborTinka]

Nope - I love single player, alone, enjoying the game atmoshpere fully and deeply. When I want a community, there are real campfires with real people.

[@bodnotbod]

Somehow, I don't think the TED audience will think much of a form of community communication that they will see as being posting many multiples of similar emoticons at a rapid rate. I enjoy watching Twitch and I have formed small bonds with certain streamers and people in chat. But I would *in* *no* *way* put them on a level with people I meet with.

[@anonymous134anonym6]

Wish u all a good day :)

Nice Twitch ad

[@rdumiak]

Did anyone feel like this was a commercial announcement for Twitch? Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Twitch fan, but what about the other live-streaming platforms - Streamup, Ustream or even Mixer? How would they see the future of live-streaming?

[@gregthegroove]

Boy....what a last name to have when discussing entertainment. Just “SHEAR ENTERTAINMENT.” (Cue ba-dum-tsss)

[@KeithSkates]

So tempting to advertise my Twitch channel here, but I'll just say, great TED talk. 💚

[@MoroccanArtistandPoet31]

Good content 👍👍👍👍

[@Zahlenteufel1]

The talk was ok, but it completely ignored that all people exist on a spectrum from 100% lurker to 100% producer. This has major interactions with what he said but I guess the purpose of the talk was more to bridge the gap between the offline and online world.

[@LeonaPrime]

It makes me wonder... are we humans slowly rediscovering the lives of our forbears', only with the boon of technology now?

[@auntmayme8119]

Heck, I don’t even play solitaire. I don’t want to go down some rabbit hole in a video game, let alone one I have to share with someone.

[@weirdcan]

I’m confused. Is this a sales pitch or a TED talk? Don’t get me wrong, I love online gaming but platforms where you can participate with a false identity will never lead to more socializing behavior.

[@ArtanisOwns]

completely disagree, games are better alone, being told how to play them/backseated is truly awful. streams are just background noise, you can't interact with a twitch streamer as they only put on a fake face for their online persona, and if they have more than let's say 40 viewers they probably won't (or can't) read your message anyway.

[@invox9490]

But then Ninja went to Mixer... Ouch!

I have few videos on my youtube channel and i would like to go live sometimes would that be considered streaming? Can anyone enlight me on this? I do drawing by the way.

[@lijonlee6186]

It's nice to have people looking and talking about and doing...shared interest. But where would all this lead to... I have a mind that this in the long run ... will have a negative impact on society. In the short-term and even in the mid-term it may work for the best. BUT... I can see a lot of problems coming up for society...In the long-term... and I'm a gamer! How would streaming help... when the human race has gone "back" to the caveman?! when the campfire only burns for those beliefs, looks to me...in the long run...it will break us up as a society into small clans...back to a pre-futile society... a big step backwards...

[@oompfh]

Is this a paid advertising?

[@tumu1tus553]

It’s unfortunate that someone so out of touch with twitch is in charge. Especially since he’s been around since Justin tv. His decisions effect the entirety of the twitch community and it still seems like he doesn’t understand what it’s actually like a year later. The recent decisions made by twitch are really hurting the platform and I’d hate to see what happens to twitch if this trend continues.
