RE: I Did My First Youtube Live Stream | My Impressions of Live Streaming
I'm kind of blown away these days how many people can end up tuning into a live stream. People are on their phones and it pops up which is pretty freaking cool. One guy I subscribe to was initially live streaming the Mayweather fight and it gained him over 10,000 subscribers. YouTube shut his live stream off before the fight began but it got a lot of people tuning in.
What a person could do is the next time there is a big event you could say your a live streaming it but then like 5 minutes before hand drop off and then later make a quick video apologizing and saying how the live stream got shut down. LOL..... HHEHEHHEHEHEHE
haha, funny you bring up mayweather fight, i was actually trying to find it online without paying and saw a bunch of youtubers streaming claiming to have the mayweather fight. most who actually were would get shutdown within a few minutes but many were playing a loop of nothing or redirecting you to another site. one guy in particular was just laughing at everyone as they came on thinking they were going to see the fight and in reality they were just watching him.
long before the mayweather fight even aired i was always joking someone should do a "reaction video" to the mayweather fight. i know there was a big controversey a while back regarding reaction videos. many reaction video channels were becoming some of hte most popular channels on youtube and many people argued its not really fair people get to use others content make faces and profit.
i havnt followed that issue super closely but i still see plenty of them so I'm guessing Youtube still allows them. If I was a creator making good content and was getting views siphoned off by others "watching" my content and reacting I would be pretty annoyed. I knew Youtube would never stand by and let someone air a reaction to a big companies big money event like that but thought it would be funny to watch them shut everyone down and kind of show the hypocrisy in their stance on the issue.
