Twitch, one of the most popular broadcasting platforms in the world, serves millions of people every day, allowing broadcasts in games, music, chat and many more. Of course, there are also users who broadcast on such a large platform. There are famous Twitch publishers in our country and all over the world; It is a known fact that these people have made broadcasting a ‘profession’.
However, it is necessary to look at Twitch broadcasts from the other side. Millions of people around the world are trying to broadcast just like famous broadcasters, but they can’t reach as many viewers. In fact, sometimes no one watches the broadcasts made by these people. Thinking of these people, a programmer has developed a site that allows you to reach Twitch streamers who have no viewers.
Nobody.live
Jack Kingsman, a musician as well as being a programmer, has become self-aware without any watching due to the interest in Twitch’s weird deep corners. He developed Nobody.live, which allows you to participate in his broadcasts for hours by talking. Kingsman stated that he made such an attempt because he thought that the broadcast made by a person whom no one knew about was much more exciting and interesting than an e-sports tournament.
Kingsman, in his statements about the establishment of the site, stated that he was not psychologically well due to the pandemic last November, that he was away from his friends and therefore struggled with the feeling of loneliness, and stated that this mood inspired the site. The programmer also likened it to theatre: “I have always loved theatre. I thought it a good idea to get an audience for someone performing in an empty, no-spectator theater. This not only validates their art, but also allows you to be involved.”
It can help keep publishers hopeful
Kingsman, answering a question put to him as it is not difficult to make the site; He stated that Twitch’s API (Application Programming Interface) and documentation helped him. Since Twitch usually hosts game-oriented broadcasts, such broadcasters are often seen in game content. However, apart from these, it is reported that there are many interesting publications on the platform.
The owner of the site also told about his experiences. Kingsman stated that he encountered many different broadcasts, such as a person having a very difficult night broadcasting in hopes that someone would talk to him, or a Russian university student broadcasting in the middle of an electrical engineering class, emphasizing that this made him and the broadcasters feel ‘less alone’.
Saying that Nobody.live befriended him during the endless pandemic nights, Kingsman wants his site to host situations that can be likened to ‘joking with a friend’, where random quiet conversations can be made, unlike those in the speech section of famous broadcasts, and people say ‘0’ in broadcasts. He states that he wants to keep the hope that his article will be able to turn it into a ‘1’ one day.
If you want to reach the site and see the broadcasts of people with zero viewers, you can click on the link here. Although quite interesting publications can be encountered on the site, it can feel good to see that some people are happy when they reach a single viewer.
