Wonder if we’ll see a time where #streamers / #ContentCreators from #Twitch / #YouTube / other platforms all recognize the value of a #mastodon account. Already seeing some people getting uncomfortable with the direction #twitter is headed. If they’re really gonna bury non-subscribers’ posts, won’t it lose all purpose for people unwilling/unable to pay? #videogames #gaming
@revealingtoomuch most won't leave that platform until forced. The pure numbers are too important for many of them. The other big downside of cutting it completely off is losing some connections with industry people, be it publishers/developers/agencies or other industry folks. It will need to get a lot worse.
@cringer yeah. I don’t even know if I’m at a point where I can leave it completely because of those industry connections. Sigh.

Yeah. It mostly only makes sense for more techy Youtube channels tbh. Technology Connections made the jump, but he's got a rather specific audience that was more likely and willing to jump, so he could more easily shift over here, at least to try it on for size. But for gaming Youtubes and streamers, it probably makes little sense for bigger fish to move here, it's a bigger gamble and might shed too much of a casual follower audience.
