so why don't you guys have Subs enabled on this stream could be wait what they should be enabled Subs yeah no it is enable what wait oh when you when it said subscribe subtitles yeah subtitles descriptions why do you guys not have subscriptions the reason is the decision we made a long time ago is that we didn't want, we just didn't really want the money factor to factor into our content creation basically it the longest like twofold right because we also wanted the option to be able to stream on multiple platforms oh there's that as well yep yeah yeah so it's both but to both those things, but, and let's it's like we don't need the extra income from twitch or whatever we also don't need the badge or whatever it kind of sucks that we're losing out on some of the like you know the features where we can't make, Emos right emotes and like the the polls and stuff like that and yeah mods don't stay up for as long, that is that is a bummer but yeah the beam of the multi-stream and like not feeling like we're locked down too you know we feel like we don't need a badge to be able to like do these kind of streams yeah no for sure but then it's just also that like I think the wheels we I think the other thing was that we just didn't really want the the money to influence things too much because at the end of the day what we what we what we're doing is we're selling a game and you guys can buy the game you don't have to give us any more that's that's like all we're doing so and this is just kind of part of that so it felt a little weird there's like some some devs do interesting things I think if I remember correctly correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but the RuneScape devs do amazing so jagex do amazing, Community streams I believe they have subscriptions but they give that money away and that's like you know that's the thing that could be done but yeah yeah but that's just kind of why we don't really think about it too much anyway we don't really we don't really need it you guys are here anyway and, the purpose of this is just to hang out inform you guys and entertain you guys so yeah it's okay, someone also mentioned that like twitch like to avoid twitch getting money I don't know if we necessarily care about like twitch getting like I mean that's oh fine, it's just the The General I wouldn't say ickiness but like the it becomes a factor you know there's no denying it even though you know regardless of what we say or do like it becomes a factor and yeah- I'm I'm genuinely not this is not an actual fear of mine that I have right but like there's this I there's this thought of like well like if if it ever came down to like, Hey guys, the, the twitch earnings are down 10 or something because anything you do about it you're like no I don't see how that would ever happen that's not the kind of vibe at coffee stain so I just want to make that very very clear but like that's just like a situation I just want to stay away from I just don't want that element to impact this like that's like that that's my personal, reasoning and feelings towards it I just kind of want to no we're just hanging out it's it's just chill yeah there's there's a lot of like I guess reasoning that we do when when whatever choices we make there's never like, this is definitely the reason why we're doing it we're always kind of like there's a couple of like many ways to do things and I don't know if necessary if they like us having like the subs or whatever enabled maybe that doesn't actually do it have any impact probably fine honestly fine it's probably fine yeah yes so yeah it's it's probably not that big of a deal yeah but if you do want emotes we do have some emotes on, better TTV yeah if you don't have that plug-in installed, consider getting it for you get on Chrome and Firefox, and basically we've got all these little emotes that will pop up if you have it it's pretty good so and you don't have to pay for it it's you just get it if you get the plugin so and, and and then you don't need to be confused over why you're seeing people, sometimes spam just weird words yeah yeah yeah yeah like status Pogo or yeah Status nut or something like that, yeah it's muted exactly exactly yes that is neat and then also if you're a content creator and you have, better TTV, you can add these we've got them I think they're available so that you can add them to your channel as well, are they available on better TV or are they under press kit or something like that they're no no they're on better TTV and there you can add it to your channel via better TV okay so that your users can use better tdv and actually because you can have two settings on better TV you can make your emotes like only on your Channel or you can make them public yeah and so we just made them to be public so yeah I guess another reason too is partner affiliate also means ad although I think people might get ads anyways or am I wrong about that even if you're not affiliate or partner they can still serve ads on our screen maybe probably maybe I'm not sure that's okay if they do I guess because they need to pay their bills yeah yep
