  • I mean many communities still need people to actually create posts, this one is the same. That’s the thing about early adoption, you’re going to have less content at the start for you to lurk through.

    However, if there is content, it’s usually good and you get nice comment threads, pretty much like reddit from the old old days, so that’s nice.

    Maybe you’d want to post some? Also don’t forget to vote :D













  • I would specify a bit, “stupid” is so broad and not really easy to see what’s actually going wrong.

    People are biased and irrational by default. Beliefs do not require evidence, they are mostly formed just by hearing about things from an authorative voice, e.g. your parents, friends, or the media.

    People also are by default all in on a belief, or all out. In their minds, admitting even one good thing about the opposite side is unforgivable treason, admitting just one bad thing about your own beliefs is admitting total defeat.

    So if you don’t grow up in an environment where rationality is being taught, you’re simply not rational and thus fall victim to all these biases.

    The same is by the way true also for democrats or whoever is not voting for the fascists. Just their beliefs were filled by other authorative voices around them. True rationalists knowing about their biases and actively trying to work against them and trying to get to the truth are very rare.





  • I mean, it’s pretty easy to calculate, and you’ll have to calculate it yourself because it depends on your area. And also what you mean with “decent wage”.

    • Figure out your “decent wage”
    • See what your local tax rate is for one-person-businesses, from that calculate how much money you actually need to make before taxes to get your desired amount after taxes
    • divide by 50% (or 70% if you get the new deal) to adjust for twitch’s share
    • divide by sub cost (5$) to get the amount of subscriptions needed.

    So idk, 2000$ is “decent wage” local tax rate is about 30% so 2857.14$ needed, with twitch share it’s 5714.28$, divided by 5$ per subscribtion it’s 1143 subscribers.

    But as has already been said, there are other revenue sources for streamers, so you don’t need quite as many subscriptions.
