How does BitWave compare to other streaming services? -

[Trig.Point]

I'm curious about how BitWave works, who owns it and the history behind it.

 

[A Logging Company]

HISTORY: After the implosion of Stream.me due to the antics surrounding The Kill Stream (see the Ethan Ralph thread) and the then smoldering remains of the IBS scene, one of Ralph's main alogs/trolls started BitWave to try and keep the Stream.me vibe alive.

Honestly unless you have the need, I'd avoid using Bitwave. You're really jumping into a troll and spergs nest that is not worth it, unless being able to say the nigger word live is that important to you.

This is the only metric that matters tbh.

And then proceeded to spam about it everywhere on the internet and tell streamers on other platforms that they should move to Bitwave and just generally acted like obnoxious assholes.

But who are they? The infastructure to run a streaming service is expensive, how are they funding it?

I don't know exactly, but my guess is that it's still in the realm of an affordable hobby. Looking at the front page now, if the viewer numbers are accurate, there are about 400 viewers across all streams. That's maybe 15 times as many as I was expecting to see… but still significantly lower than the numbers that even Dlive has to support.

Also, I know that Amazon, at least, offers hosted streaming video services - basically a white-label Twitch. I presume some other companies do too. For smaller streaming sites, a service like that is probably cheaper for getting off the ground than buying all your own infrastructure.
