The Future of Calxiyn (Gaming) Livestreaming
🕑 Added 2022-10-10 16:31:20 +0000 UTCHi everyone! I may make a video about this, but I wanted to let you all know that after getting some feedback and advice from other content creators, patrons and my audience - I will be moving Calxiyn livestream gaming content onto Twitch! There are a few reasons for this:
- It seems through some analytical collection, that the people subscribed to my channel prefer edited content compared to the unpolished live-stream experience. Especially having started as a YouTube channel vs a YouTube Livestreaming Channel, this is understandable.
- A good portion of subscribers are not fully interested in gaming content, and a livestream can be intimidating compared to the videos where Hunter and I have edited our gameplay in the past. Our edited videos make it easy for non-gamers to find enjoyment, whereas with the streams, the subscribers feel like aren't entirely sure what's going on as non-gamers.
- A combination of point 1 and 2, having unedited content on the channel can feel like a quality downgrade given the previous effort put into our content.
- The length of time is intimidating, vs editing down the streams to include the most important pieces.
So all of this in mind, I've done two things:
Calxiyn VODS will be the new home for all VODS from either past YouTube streams or Twitch from this point forward. (Twisted Wonderland/Nier will not be included on the VODS Channel. This is because I didn't have the foresight to expect this and some of the recordings are lost. But the VODS are on Twitch). https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyqM9zEFOPIBYEMieOjipzw
Calxiyn Clips is going to be the new clips channel. For those that remember, I actually turned the VODS channel into the clips channel for a little bit. The URL for the VODS channel actually is still "Calxiyn Clips" because YouTube's system to change the URL is down LOL. I'm going to try to get a new URL for that later. The reason I decided to make a new Clips channel, vs making a new VODS channel, is because the current VODS channel was previously "Calxiyn Live" and therefore, already had the VODS for a bunch of streams. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC10nJNtqarD1_JKeAwQ-F0w
TLDR: Changing Calxiyn Live to Calxiyn VODS made more sense, even though it has the Calxiyn Clips URL. I need to wait for YouTube's URL system to be fixed and I can change it.
Thanks for bearing with me with these changes! I know I've bounced back and forth over the past year, but the experimentation was really important to figure out how to move forward. If you enjoy my streams, I will attempt to multistream onto the VODS channel as well, but otherwise you can find me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/calxiyn
