#StreamElements

Someone remind me to set my new overlay hotkeys in OBS before I stream tomorrow.

Seriously though, it's the one thing I haven't updated with the new overlay and stuff.

Man. I do my first stream in two years and suddenly Streamelements is flooding me with emails for sponsorships. I check a few days ago, nine active campaigns, six still accepting people.

tf happened to like, getting a single Raid or War Thunder offer every few months? God damn.

My take on the Twitch "brand guidelines" situation, which I've been believing more and more over the last 24 hours:

StreamElements is a popular site that hooks in to the Twitch API and lets you create custom alerts (those fancy animated graphics that pop up on stream) for when people subscribe/cheer/follow/donate. Tons of streamers use them! I use them!

Very recently, like within the last three months, StreamElements has launched a new Sponsorship tab. If you use StreamElements, it's impossible to miss, because they've been sending me 7-10 emails a week about each new sponsor offer I have.

Generally they'll tell me how I could make "up to $900" by doing a sponsored stream with a list of requirements and goals I'd have to meet in order to earn my payout. There's a lot more to it than that, but we'll get to it.

The thing is, this StreamElements Sponsor system is an almost direct clone of a system Twitch already has: the Twitch Bounty Board. But there's a twist: The Twitch Bounty Board is only available to the upper-crust of streamers who hit consistent and moderately good viewership numbers. And the higher numbers you pull in, the bigger bounties you get with bigger payouts.

StreamElements Sponsorships aren't anywhere near as high profile. A Bounty might have a streamer order food from Dominos, comp them the price of the meal, and have them eat and talk about it on camera. A typical StreamElements Sponsor is a gacha mobile game you probably haven't even heard of.

And that "up to $900" claim on StreamElements is just the hook. Once you actually read the terms, you'll learn that the minimum payout is $15, with $900 being the maximum possible earnings. And usually, just to earn that measly $15 minimum, you have to stream for multiple hours, across multiple days, with special overlays, a special chat bot, while also requiring several viewers to use your offer code and also play for multiple hours.

It creates a discrepancy where Twitch Bounties have a higher barrier of entry but a much higher success rate, and the StreamElements sponsors have a much lower barrier of entry and probably a much smaller trickle of money.

The thing is? Twitch likely gets a cut of the bounty payout, but StreamElements doesn't have to pay Twitch anything for a sponsor. And even if the StreamElements sponsor program has lower payouts and more difficult/nebulous requirements, slots still fill up quickly. That's a lot of money changing hands on Twitch that is not necessarily feeding back in to Twitch itself. And it is through a system seemingly designed to devalue something Twitch is already doing.

Twitch slapping down all these rules about "burned-in advertising" were undoubtedly about pulling people out of StreamElements. After all, the new guidelines said it was fine to link things around the video, like in the description/bio below the stream. Since Twitch literally owns the website, in theory it probably wouldn't have been too hard for them to reskin a streamer's entire page for a bounty integration. There are already plugins and things to generate widgets that aren't burned in to the video and hover over the player's HTML.

It's not hard to imagine a scenario where you accept a Twitch bounty for Mountain Dew and it adds a special Mountain Dew Widget over your stream that's part of the video player code itself, something StreamElements would probably never be allowed to do.

Further evidence for this comes from the fact that, just a few weeks ago, Twitch added a feature to let you generate stream alerts from the Twitch dashboard itself. StreamElements literally started their entire business on robust and highly customizable stream alerts, and once StreamElements started pushing their own bounty board clone with Sponsorships, suddenly Twitch starts testing its own in-house alerts generator.

Twitch was obviously trying to head this off at the pass and provide users as little reason to use StreamElements as humanly possible, but they obviously didn't get there fast enough and were more than a little overzealous.

Hey so I know it’s a lot to ask but would anyone like to help me out with my genshin impact sponsor?

I’ve gotta get new users to download the game and man is that proving difficult 😂😂

Here’s the rules and my attribution link!

——————————————————————————

ATTRIBUTION LINK:

They must download using your attribution link.

They must be first-time players. Viewers who have downloaded and played the game in the past will not count.

They must disable any AdBlock and VPN services they are using when downloading and playing the game. Users who haven’t disabled them will not count.

They must remain on the same IP address from the moment they click you link and throughout the whole installation process (for example, do not switch between WIFI and mobile data).

They must reach the milestones on the device they initially downloaded the game on - a user who downloads the mobile version must play and reach the milestones on mobile, and a user who downloads the PC version must play and reach the milestones on PC.

They must create a new player for the primary goal, reach Adventure Rank 6 for the secondary goal, and complete the License to Glide quest for the third goal.

Ugh

So it turns out that both Streamlabs and StreamElements are ran by questionable people, I had already jumped ship when SL stealing shit came out and i've started moving off of SE...

But i'm stuck

Moving my alerts to the built in twitch ones went swimmingly and the same can be said for swapping to the Slime2Stream chat box stuff but that leaves two things:

A crane game widget that I adore and even made my own art for the second that update happened but it was made for SE and I dunno if it can even move it if that's even possible in the first place.

and kappagen which while I know I could use the version in soundalerts I wanna find that one that turns the emotes into cubes and nothing i google makes it pop up which is even more annoying when I know FalseEyeD (yes the vtuber news guy) has it and doesnt have it credited anywhere.

False please...
