this event was the first live stream i ever got to see. our lovely country setting does not come with the internet, and our lovely superheroine series routinely gets deleted for content after being flagged by pornographers who don't like our standards. i wanted to see who prevails.
i was grateful for the double audio feed, as it prevented comprehension of what appeared to be being said. i was listening to the musical portions wondering if the second feed would be revealed as another big joke once the beats blended but they never did. somehow "there's no money in internet video" came thru loud and clear. i am beginning to think, with our measly $3K a month in direct sales that we are internet stars. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "elbowsofdeath" <st...@...> wrote: > > So I hear the Streamy's this year were a disaster in several key ways and > have gotten all the wrong sort of attention as a result. > > There is some concern that it has damaged the image of the 'industry', > although it may be easy to overstate this point.
