The last couple of weeks what recently has been on my mind concerning
Justin.tv and Lifecasting is the lack of content people are bringing as a whole. I've recently noticed so many new people coming and going that it has almost been too overwhelming to try and make contact with most of these people. Or better yet, why? Because they will most likely be gone in a short time.
When lifecasters such as
Justin himself and even
Justine started showing their lives 24/7, it was a real LIFEcast. They would have hundreds of people in their channel chatting when said broadcaster wasn't even paying attention to the chatroom. Today you still have broadcasters such as
Dealer that still keeps it strong and does his thing away from talking to his viewers all the time while still maintaining a following.
But every channel now has someone looking at the camera and talking to the viewers non stop. Will it ever get back to people doing a real lifecast? Do people even care? It doesn't seem like it. I've even had people tell me that if someone was out mobile and doing something fun and entertaing that they would probably only watch for a few minutes if no one was chatting in the room already. Then the average question that I see when not paying attention to the chat room is usually something like "Hello? You there? why aren't you talking to me?". Or better yet someone just says "bye" when you go on with your life and not the chatroom.
Unless people are being verbally entertained it seems like no one cares. Can it get back to where the chat is just as entertaining without the broadcaster talking.
Mooncricket is the master of keeping his life real while broadcasting it online. If he gets a chance he will talk to whoever is there. The following message was left in my channel yesterday morning while I was lifecasting on my way to work and then physically working setting up lights for a stage play.
Maybe this is just a rant that only a few will care about but I miss the days of seeing something real on here.
And as always....you don't have to be mobile to be entertaining and real.
