Ok, so it's a little bit of a clickbaity title but I hear those work
Just over a month ago I decided to switch streaming services for my games. I moved from an established streaming service (Twitch) with an established community of my own to a newer platform, DLive. It all runs pretty much the same way...streamer streams games and watchers watch the streamer. The main difference is that this is a decentralised platform owned by the public, rather than a money hungry corporation (coughs Amazon cough Microsoft coughs).
Anyway, streamers earn from right from the off rather than having to jump through hoops only to earn a fraction of what their viewers cough up but THE BEST part is that the viewers earn too!! Yes, you can earn just by watching people game...but...
It's a cryptocurrency based service on the Lino Blockchain (people big on crypto will know what that is) so it means that yes, you can earn, but you need to convert it into USD and have it paid out via PayPal (or Bitcoin if you swing that way). The minimum cashout is 2000 lino which is around $23.
Now please understand this, it isn't a quick way to earn cash. Viewers watch the streamers and have a progress bar which fills as they watch and chat. When the bar is full they can claim between 1-4 lino and the bar resets. There is no limit as to how many times you click it in a day but as I said, it's not going to make you a lot fast - in fact, most watchers just give it back to the streamer they are watching or save up to "subscribe" to the streamer.
However, if you're a gamer looking for a new place to stream it is nothing but a breath of fresh air compared to other platforms. I tried streaming on Twitch last night for the first time in about 6-7 weeks...within 30 minutes my regulars were asking me to go back to DLive so they can support me and because it's a better experience.
If you have any questions then please ask, if you want to see it in action then head over to https://dlive.tv/chammyirl (dropping a follow would be great) and see how it all works.
I just thought it would be useful to have a post here so you know it's an option, also, cheeky self promo haha
