I know we demonize the ad driven internet, but what does it mean when creators seek out and even prefer sponsor revenue sources even when they’re at the top of v4v?

V4v vs ad revenue is an interesting thing to think about. I like the v4v idea but I can’t help but notice it can make things as weird for creators as taking on sponsors.
In the streaming world, getting a contract, or essentially getting a much larger cut of ad revenue in advance for driving a large part of that revenue for the platform is king. Top streamers also can take on sponsors directly for typically very high value. A contract is typically on the order of $millions and sponsor revenue if done right can be similar.
What’s interesting is that most creators on streaming platforms are v4v supported until they make it to the tippy top. Only maybe the top 50-100 get such deals.
Top streamers like Ludwig have come out and said that they feel weird taking money from people. At the top of his twitch career pre subathon he was averaging ~20k subscribers a month. Assuming $5 / subscription and a 70% cut (note both of these numbers have changed, sub cost is up and top creator cut is down to 50%) he was grossing $840k on v4v from his viewership alone.
Before getting a contract or nice sponsor deals these creators work for years growing their viewership. V4v in streamer form means you can literally watch this 6+ hour a day grind. The fact that Ludwig favors monetizing off his viewers via ad revenue vs direct payment sort of says something.
Maybe it’s the fact that each sub is $5+ / month. It seems like at some point he felt guilty for how much viewers would give him especially at his peak, likely thinking of other up and coming creators that would stand to gain much more from each sub.

Such an interesting way to replay the riaa music piracy times.
It helps to highlight how much we give to the internet and what the impact can be
Where do the notes go?

The funniest part is they just mansplain what you said back to you
Dennis Porter came and spoke at the NH Commission for Crypto and Digital Assets.
He talked a lot about mining, the benefits of on demand energy consumers, etc. He was professional, the room was mostly legislators, bank regulators, and he did a great job.
I’m not sure about the details of this UCC stuff, but from what I saw him do, talk about and push for, I did not see any thing that’d make me think he’s bad for bitcoin.
The crypto Twitter clout game is getting more and more insane tbh
This time it is different 😁
Don’t we have a roadmap for this already?
Internet, steam engine, printing press etc etc. new tech changes things. People resist, the new generation embraces it. The world is forever changed by the microwave.
5-10 years seems like the exact right timeframe for the articles about how X new thing is actually bad / dangerous.
Right now we’re especially here to help with liquidity. Happy to talk about the rest :)
