Newish streamer and YouTube videos.

Post by TwoCats »

Hello,

I have recently started streaming on twitch and making YouTube videos. I'm looking for ideas for YouTube videos. So far I have thought of pro game reviews, reviewing kyu and low Dan game, and playing vs ranks similar to kgs 1dan on all the servers and then reviewing them. If you watch any of the videos or streams and have tips on how it can be improved please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is my twitch channel
https://www.twitch.tv/catsplaygo
lots of messing around while playing go.

My YouTube channel
https://www.youtube.com/user/TritonBaduk/videos
More serious content where the main focus is teaching.

Both channel are shared between me a kgs 5dan, and Triton a kgs 4dan.

My suggestion: Whatever you do, make it short and to the point. There are enough other interesting and worthwhile things to do besides watching somebody ramble on about go for hours on end. If you want to look at some streamers who git it right imo, check out Brady's Blunders or Gennan's series about the Alphago ooening book. Both tackle a few key situations and leave the viewer wanting more, not less.
Patience, grasshopper.

Yes.

Example: a very well researched, scripted, and animated lesson:

I discovered your channel through your game with Ben. I really like the streams you do together, the trashtalking is a lot of fun and a nice change of pace, as most of the other streamers usually go for a little more serious content.

The solo ones are kinda meh, maybe for those focusing a little more on explanations might work, as a single streamer usually can't live up to two people who's interactions play really well of each other.
