A penny for your thoughts?

I understand \hear what your saying Krysta. I'll keep supporting you regardless! Thank you for your response and honesty!

This isn’t really about satisfying people, my decision to do this. I love let’s plays, and I love movie reactions, however the time I put into let’s plays, the return is just not worth my focus any longer. I don’t want to dedicate myself to series and people just aren’t interested and not supporting. Not that people don’t watch, but it’s just unfortunately not enough. I do this for a living and I have to be wise for my career and mental health on what I focus on. I’m not dropping gaming entirely, I’m simply no longer recording separate let’s plays. I still will play through games in my Twitch and if I find that good enough, I will put it on my main channel, and if not there my VOD channel. I wish more people were into the let’s plays as much as you were. I would have so much more motivation to upkeep with it. But it’s more discouraging than fun to create let’s plays. :/

I'm not a fan of these movie reaction\commentary video's tbh. I subscribed to your channel & patreon cause i love watching you play video games. Not to react to movies. I had a feeling this was gonna happen cause you haven't been uploading much gaming content lately. Why not make another channel dedicated to movie reactions & keep the current one for gaming? That would satisfy your reaction fans & gaming fans would it not? Its your channel, choice Krysta. But i would be very disappointed if you stopped doing lets plays on the channel.

Idk but you're one of the funniest YouTubers, whatever content you make is 🔥, so just do whatever makes sense business / time wise

Do what the heart desires.

The Answer

Yeah I totally get what you are saying! There are definitely games that Translate better a recorded vs streamed for sure. And I’m open to this being a trial run/break to see how it goes.

Yeah so I’ve seen that too! I know Marz does it, I feel personally, this may not be best for me because of how distracted I get when streaming with chat. I like to interact with chat a lot and Idk if that will ruin the immersion for people or not. But I’m totally open to that.

Honestly I'm kinda torn. While there are some story games that might be good for streaming, among them the Yakuza series, Persona 5 Strikers and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, I can't see the more time intensive games like Persona 4 Golden making for good streaming despite how fun they are to play and to watch an edited playthrough. Of course it is your channel and you have to do what makes you happy (that's the content that we enjoy best), but perhaps instead of ending Let's Plays outright maybe you could maybe just take a break? Of course during said break you can do as you suggested: Movie commentaries and cosplays on your main channel, with Twitch Highlights of streamed games on your VOD channel. Of course if it works well, even for the longer games, then you could extend that break indefinitely. However I see it being a problem with games like the aforementioned P4 Golden, as Twitch comments are harder to block and ignore, and the trolls there love to spoil twists like that. At least on YouTube you can have comments blocked and redirected to a forum thread on Steam or something where your mods can sort out the spoilers from the helpful comments before presenting them to you for your perusal. Well it'll take you a while yet to finish with Persona 5 and whatnot, so if you can use that time to consider my break idea I would appreciate it. P.S. Those super-long games I understand are often even more of a problem on Twitch, with the viewership dropping dramatically during repetitive grinding sessions, whereas those sessions can be edited down or removed entirely from Let's Plays, keeping the videos shorter and focused on the entertaining content that your viewers tune in for. Please keep that in mind when you ultimately make your decision.

I just need to get into twitch more xD i mean this makes perfect sense (:

I think it's fine. I've seen other streamers just post recording of their twitch stream on YouTube instead of doing a whole separate playthrough so maybe you could even just chop a twitch stream down to an hour or 2 and that would be 2 YouTube vids right there. Not sure how much editing goes into doing it that way but its an option.

I don't mind the changes plus if it free up time for you to do other thing you want to do and we get some exciting new content as well it a win win for everyone

These changes would be pretty cool, and it would work better for your schedule so i think its the right move!

I like the change!! Since this will make it better for you as well that’s dope. Win win
