Evil birthday gifted subs discount

[random steeple]

Hi there!

I think it would be a good idea to enable a discount on gifts during today’s stream, as it seems the swarm has already decided we’re going to try and break the record anyway, so why not make it a bit cheaper?

Twitch Partners can manually enable a discount on their channel for up to 24 hours, so I reckon an 8-hour discount will be more than enough for the whole stream.

You can enable this here whilst on a partnered channel: https://dashboard.twitch.tv/monetization/subscriptions/discounts

This isn't a subathon, there's no real reason to try, no goal or timer to prolong. All it will do is cause what will likely only be a 3 hour stream to stall, wasting everyone's time and money.

Oh, I agree, I just think that if there are some fans who will give gifts anyway, it might be a good way to make it cheaper for them. I believe it's possible to just keep this going in the background without making it a central piece of the stream.

The faster the train dies the better stream vibe will be

yeah.... let's not encourage people to spend money on this

there was already a whole debacle during the subathon about how the pings were creating undue pressure on people to donate not to mention other vtubers encouraging their fanbase to sub

we don't need to repeat that song and dance

Oh, there's always this setting for that

[humble furnace]

that would be even more scummy

[dull swan]

or just disable hype trains entirely

[humble furnace]

that could work

vedal would never do it though

[terse stirrup]

no one decided to break a hype train record and the ones that did are not gifting or or and are completely relying on others to throw in stupid amounts of money for their enjoyment

Well Vedal said he doesn't want any additional subs or money right now because the project is well funded and I respect that. I may throw in 10-20 subs in a train but we really shouldn't press for another record just for the lolz. Beating the last time was a very expensive thing and Swarm already did what no one has ever done before now being number 1,2 and 3 on the hype train record list. Remember how insane levels of money we had to throw at Twitch for each level as it got higher. I think creating new art for Swarm for everyone to enjoy, commission Swarm artists to support them pay their rent, or support other Streamers inside of the Neuroverse would be better atm.

true use that money to comission artists
