Gaming

Welcome gamers 👏

Thought we should have an introductions thread with all the new folks joining the channel

What's your name, what games (or game mechanics/genres) do you like, and a little bit extra about yourself (are you building something? love to hear about it!)

Vulnerability is cherished here 🥰

hi bill 👋

not super familiar with esports myself, but sync nature of esports doesn't lend itself to async nature of the internet imo

What’s interesting is that gaming on YouTube is more async and does fairly well. 

However, in esports the live nature gives poor replay value for sponsors and TOs generally after the initial broadcast. General content creators get much more eyes on them and were seen as better value for a long time.

yup. long-tail searches for "GAME XX" much more than "GAME EVENT YY"
