Flamenco stopped being awful around the time he began posting in this thread. Coincidence? I think not. As for the others; yes, yes, and BIG YES.

The thing about Ralph censoring or cutting people off is something I've found strange though, but wasn't sure if anyone was catching it or not. I only began regularly listening again a few weeks ago, but in that time he's cut off people regularly. The race stuff he tiptoes around a lot, but criticism of DLive itself sends him into a near panic. My going theory is that site management has put Ralph on a very short leash, or else wise threatened to blow his show clean off of the site.

This is a site that's taken the Epic store model of business - spend it's money getting exclusive content that will end up on other better platforms anyways, and ignore the giant pile of problems building up around what few features the service has in the hopes it can buy it's market space. The UI is still ass, client-side support is non-existent, streams cut out constantly and the moderation is as draconian as any other platform. The only reason anybody cares about them is because of exclusive streamers who will no doubt dry up once the investors catch wind of the fact that the site hasn't grown one iota this year. It's still at the same place it was in 2018 when it was best known as "that Turkish crypto scam Ralph triied for a weekend." It won't take much to shake off the handful of people using the site, and criticism of the platform and getting too 148 gang gang-y are two credible threats. I'd also imagine part of it is Ralph trying to clean up the show a little to help get new guests on, but I think it's primarily motivated by his desire to avoid drawing ire.

There's nothing to really speculate about. He's explicitly and repeatedly talked about not wanting to get kicked off Dlive because it's one of the last places that'll even have him at the moment. Their staff are also pretty openly gay about not approving of anyone being too edgy or using certain words. The platform as a whole might very well go belly up at any moment but that's a separate issue.

Well that would explain it. DLive is a strange Chinese fingertrap to me and I admit that I straight up don't listen to anything Ralph says, nor do I use the site for anything other than Null's streams. It shouldn't come to me as a surprise that a Turkish/Chinese site that pays e-thots with lemons and ninjas is gay, but here I am anyways.

Is he not planning to move to Bitchute Streams?

Is he not planning to move to Bitchute Streams?

On the last few episodes they were talking about attempting to get the channel partnered. If that is the case and he wants to be successfully partnered, I doubt he could move even if he wanted to. Twitch has a non-compete clause built into their partnership - if you want to have custom emotes or subscriptions you can't stream anywhere else. I only know this because Harmful Opinions is quarantined to Twitch by that. I'd bet DLive has a similar clause, which would explain why he's been uncharacteristically quiet about any current plans to move to Bitchute.

I should also add that this is Ralph we're talking about. The guy who thought that moving to Memology 101's channel was a good play after Stream.me ate it. He'll make whatever the worst decision for the show is.

 

[Pomniman]

Is he not planning to move to Bitchute Streams?

Probably, but it's something that hasn't really materialized yet and who knows how long it'll even be around when it does.

Can't speak to Ralph's situation but can offer a little bit of insight to Dlive as a whole.

I don't think that criticism of the platform is a no go as much as Ralph might think? Granted I had partner status when some of Dlive's more egregious behavior (I pretty much make it known I have little love for most of the people streaming on the site, and might have been part of the reason the Partner only tattle-tale channel of the discord got removed when people were using it to brigade "problematic" channels). There was also a sickening amount of gloating when Jim got the boot off the platform that soured me on the "community" aspect. From what I can tell, they are a little more layed back now in terms of management (I don't know if Dlive didn't like Sseth's content but they sure allowed it, maybe not layed back enough to allow for a plastered Rand on.

Dlive has no explicit rule against multi-streams, Ralph's been posing the show (or at least some of it) onto Periscope. It miiiiiiight be different for Global Partners, but not partnered.

Also, Flamenco asks pretty decent questions now, when did he stop being dumb?

Stop?

Pewdiepie can only get 3.3k people to watch him on dlive? Because that's what he has right now. Normies really aren't into this site I guess. Ralph can manage to get 1k, Fuentes 5k, and Vaush 1k....... PdP should be able to get more than 3k.

People really don't changing habits or moving to new sites easily. I like Terraria and would probably like to watch him play it live/chat tips to him, but I can't be bothered to leave a tab open and notice when he goes live. This is not unusual behavior or sentiment for most. It's why Twitch can afford to be so fucking lazy and run their site like speds.

Peter Thiel's rule of thumb is if you want to go from "1 to 2", meaning compete with a preeastablished site/app (which started off as "0 to 1"), you need to be at least 10x better than the competitor. He uses the fall of Myspace and the rise of Facebook as an example of a company that sucessfully pulled off a "1 to 2."

Really sad that Ralph and crew pretended like Sargon won the debate. No one believed that but Sargon fans.

 

[Wheelchair]

Gay op to get Sargoon on stream? I mean you don't even have to be mean to Carl, just let him talk for 5 minutes and he will embarrass himself on his own. Maybe add some callers in and you've got a spectacular shitshow.

I dont think any of them listened to the whole debate and just heard the clips they played.

It would have been funnier to spin it as Sargon couldnt even defeat Vaush the communist than the other way around.

They might dislike Carl but they hate commies more is the simple answer.

Especially horse cock loving commies like Vaush.

Sargon is a pompous faggot for sure but commies are worse.

Credit where it’s due, it was a better showing than normal. I stand by the Destiny debate being one of the only ones Carl won, and Vaush isn’t exactly unclear on the bit he’s aping.

Let me play this awesome MC Jarbo song and then screech over it like an obnoxious faggot.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

now that Ralph has become a big boy, will he finally get rid of rand so he wont get his big boy pass taken away?

 

[Trusty Patches]

Well the other week I was positive Rand was gone for sure (insert dancing crab meme here) and then he resurfaced like the persistent turd he is sooooo

probably not

 

[John Carmack]

I could understand him using Rand as a co-host when Zidan left and he was trying to find his feet after getting kicked from youtube. I can't understand continuing to use him in that capacity when he's a risk and drags down every show he's on.
