  • Start everywhere. There are ways to split the stream to multiple platforms using one of the following:

    1. A service such as restreaming websites

    pros: very easy, lowest computer spec and bandwidth requirements, sometimes has a consolidated chat plugin

    cons: sometimes costs money, may have watermark, the service controls the bitrate and has a stream delay

    1. Using multiple instances of OBS

    pros: free, easy to set up, additionally if you set up an NDI solution over LAN then you can use a multi-PC setup which can be desirable

    cons: you will be sending the same data out to multiple platforms yourself, which means you will need high computer specs and high bandwidth or else your bitrate will suffer dramatically

    1. Setting up an RTMP server, such as with nginx

    pros: free, lower requirements, and low delay. You control the bitrate and everything

    cons: many people find this very difficult and often requires troubleshooting

    That said, if you’re serious about wanting to become a streamer, then where you start doesn’t really matter as much as finding a source for views. Views may come from an algorithm, or igniting the passion of a group of people on a forum, or family members willing to watch the entire video in order to boost user engagement, but at the end of the day they do not magically appear for good content: you need to bring them in.

    Whatever you do: DO NOT USE SHORT FORM VIDEOS as your primary format. Their audience comes and goes like the tide and they make pretty much no monetization.


  • And honestly, when they spend the last two episodes shoehorning all of those loose ends in as if it were somehow the plan all along, but in the process they create plot holes.

    For example, Season 2 of Arcane having Heimerdinger being suddenly onboard for the dangerous time travel experiments just so they can have Ekko ready in time for the finale, but they also place a bunch of random restrictions on his powers such that they cannot actually alter the past but they somehow can alter the flow of fights in the present. That whole season was terrible, tbh, none of it made any sense they just wanted to rapidly take the characters from where they were in season 1 to what they are ingame with little to no explanations of how or why.
