📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
I want to thank everyone on facebook who followed, and actually liked and watched the streams. Unfortunately, for the time being I will no longer be streaming on facebook. For reasons I cant discuss in detail but I can touch base on lightly with brief explanations.
1. Facebook gave a contract terminated it at their will which had financial destruction on my life. I had grown well on twitch and lost that when I came to facebook. It sucked.
2. I have 4200 followers yet only get 4 likes and 30 views in a 8 hour stream. There is a huge bot problem on facebook.
3. 2 years of dedication and I only have 5 supporters. Where as other streamers with only 1000 followers have like 20-50. There is ZERO growth in the last 6 months. Some streams get 5000 views and then its months of 30 views. How? I have 4200 followers, Its not adding up.
4. Another problem is that facebook paid streamers and creators bonuses for Reels (tiktok competing short videos, and youtube shorts). As soon as tiktok was threatended with a ban in the usa facebook thought well, no need to pay creators anymore. Facebook stopped paying creators for their reels the same week within hours or days of when the possible ban was announced.
THIS IS ABSOLUTE BU****IT. Its all political. Im sick of it.
5. When facebook bought mixer they took on so many problems that by the time they figure it out, tiktok and kick will be bigger.
6. I have constant content ID claims of music to foreign countries from music THATS IN THE GAME! Literally every stream.
7. Everyone who left mixer went back to twitch, some went to facebook. With tiktok and kick on the up and youtube stepping up facebook is going to be in deep waters.
8. They have no dedicated support, its impossible to get answers. Their meta suite which is crammed with instagram and whats app is so hard to navigate, they got rid of creator studio which is what streamers and creators were used to, Now I have to be a tech expert to navigate their ridiculous menus.
9. They have a major bot problem, a huge one. Same as twitch. Difference is they have less viewers, like 10% of what twitch has. You cant find games in the game search it turns up "no results".
10. The game streaming section was moved to videos, then back to gaming, then mobile gaming was placed there and streaming and gaming is back to another section. Its pure clueless changes. Its PURE CHAOS over at facebook gaming.
Its not goodbye forever, just for now. If you want to see me streaming I am now partnered with Tiktok & Kick.
YOU CAN CATCH ME ON TWITCH, YOUTUBE, TIKTOK AND KICK.
I will most likely stop streaming on youtube as well at some point but not sure. Tiktok, Kick and Twitch are the focus.
Thanks for understanding. See you over on one of the other platforms, be sure to let me know who you are when you get there!
