Podcasts about TwitchCon

The vast majority of people who stream themselves playing videogames online do so with few or no viewers. In Streaming by the Rest of Us: Microstreaming Videogames on Twitch (MIT Press, 2025) Dr. Mia Consalvo, Dr. Marc Lajeunesse, and Dr. Andrei Zanescu investigate who they are, why they do so, and why this form of leisure activity is important to understand. Unlike the esports athletes and streaming superstars who receive the lion's share of journalistic and academic attention, microstreamers are not in it for the money and barely have an audience. In this, the first book dedicated to the latter group, the authors gather interviews from dozens of microstreamers from 2017 to 2019 to discuss their lives, struggles, hopes, and goals. For readers interested in livestreaming, and Twitch in particular, the book rethinks the medium's history through accounts of the everyday uses of webcams, with particular attention to notions of liveness and authenticity. These two concepts have become calling cards for the videogame livestreaming platform and underlie streamer motivations, the construction of their practices (whether casual, serious, or anywhere in between), and the complex “metas” that take shape over time. The book also looks at the authors' own practices of livestreaming, focusing on what can be gained through experiencing the lived reality of the practice. Finally, the authors explain how Twitch's platform (studied from 2017–2023) informs how streamers structure their every day and how corporate ideologies bleed into real-world spaces like TwitchCon. This book is available open-access via the MIT Press website. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Is Twitch going to be shut down soon? Twitch is experiencing a crisis due to declining ad revenue, advertiser pullbacks over controversial content, and potential profitability issues, raising concerns about its future viability. Twitch's new stream label for "political issues" is seen by some as covering up rather than addressing the anti-Semitism problem, potentially failing to satisfy concerned advertisers. Twitch banned the word "Zionist" at the request of the ADL, potentially censoring legitimate political discourse and sparking debate over free speech on the platform. A TwitchCon panel where streamers ranked people from "Arab to Jew lover" enraged Chevron and other advertisers, exposing Twitch's lenient moderation of controversial content. 11 corporations and agencies have paused advertising on Twitch due to anti-Semitism concerns, potentially causing significant financial issues for the Amazon-owned platform. 00:00 Twitch streamers face massive ad revenue losses, raising concerns about the platform's future amid potential shutdown by Amazon due to profitability issues. 03:34 Major advertisers are pausing spending on Twitch over concerns about anti-Semitic content and extremist rhetoric, risking a shift to other platforms. 06:55 Twitch faces potential downfall due to declining ad revenue and possible layoffs as Amazon prioritizes profitability. 09:59 Twitch faces backlash over a controversial panel and a shift from diverse content to provocative streams, causing advertiser hesitance and concerns about its future. 12:37 Streamers are suffering financial losses due to an advertising boycott and Twitch's new policies, despite claims that the platform isn't in crisis. 16:19 Twitch is inflating payouts for top streamers to retain talent amid financial struggles, despite stable ad revenue and advertiser pullouts due to controversy. 19:57 Twitch is in crisis as major advertisers pull back, echoing YouTube's past struggles with content regulations and declining revenue for creators. 24:18 Twitch is facing significant issues, and similar challenges may soon impact YouTube as well.

Ever wondered why American airports feel like a scene out of an action movie while Canadian ones are a zen paradise? Join us as we recount some jaw-dropping experiences from our recent trip to the U.S., including armed guards and chaotic traffic that made us appreciate Vancouver's calm and order even more. You'll also get a laugh out of our surprise at the sheer variety of diet sodas and the subtle yet intriguing differences in McDonald's fries between the two countries.We then shift gears to the electrifying world of TwitchCon, where the atmosphere felt more like a big community meetup than a traditional convention. Fitness influencers at a gaming event? Oh yes, and we discuss how gamification could be the key to making fitness as addictive as your favorite video game. From Beat Saber in VR to the nostalgic days of Wii Sports Resort, we explore the exciting possibilities of integrating fitness into gaming and what the future might hold.Finally, we tackle the everyday struggles of keeping our diets in check while navigating stress-induced snacking. From healthier snack options like dry roasted edamame to practical meal prep ideas including dense bean salads and quick "pizzas" on naan or wraps, we've got you covered. And for a humorous twist, we entertain the quirky notion of seasoning human meat with cumin, capturing the playful spirit of our episode.
