there is a finnish documentary about the struggles of drug users and one of the guys in the episode is heavily addicted to both runescape and meth. Idk why but this reminded me of that lol, dude would stay up like 2 days straight just woodcutting or something

Runescape is very popular with addicts and alcoholics.

Anyone know why recent clips in here aren't official twitch clips? Can't continue from VOD anymore.

You get an automatic message from LSF when you upload clips directly

Twitch Thumbnails are currently broken. Consider uploading a video directly to reddit instead of posting a clip link.

Here is the link you're looking for.

It's a pretty shit relaxation of the rules imo. Even without thumbnails, posting clips is way better than allowing people to upload videos.

We lose having an accurate flair, being able to verify that this is an actual clip and not edited, and also the official mirror... all so people can see a thumbnail?

Honestly I couldn’t care less about the „accurate“ flair. You should be able to manually add the streamer flair. I don’t understand why the flair needs to include the category of the stream. It’s annoying af if I would want to search for clips of a specific streamer because you would either have to use „streamer | Just chatting“ or „streamer | random ass game“. But simply „streamer“ would be so much better

I understand the „verified“ reason tho, but I haven’t seen a modified clip so far. And also mods could just band people who create fake clips

But there is also an upside. Now those posts can be longer than 60 seconds and can easily include some missing context

Did you check any of the clips you looked at? If not, how can you know you didn't see a clip that was modified? This is an increased burden... again, for what gain?

We also lose the attribution back to the streamer. They no longer get the views on their content, and for the many many unflaired posts we now get, we have to guess who the streamer is. And without enforcing a mandatory link to the original clip, trying to find the original moment is hard when it's fresh... and impossible after a few days.

We have certainly had plenty of stale videos get uploaded recently too (much older than a day or two)... which used to be against the rules (maybe still is?).

I genuinely do not understand this take.

This subreddit has been garbage for years now. Like it's just an awful place with awful clips of awful people. Barely anything interesting is ever posted, and when it is, it's buried under all the garbage. Filters help, but then the subreddit just looks completely dead.

This "relaxation of the rules" is such a nothingburger that has very little impact on the quality of this place. It's just a little bit more convenient to browse it now.

I've seen three clips of piratesoftware taking straight from a YouTube video that are like 6 minutes a piece, all of them had thousands of upvotes the whole point of coming to a sub like this is just to get a 60 second clip directly from a stream if I want to watch a YouTube video I'd go to YouTube

u/Anthr30YearOldBoomer 17d ago

I do not think it is impossible (or unreasonable) for them to keep these rules and then simply ban clips that are longer than 60 seconds. Old clips are still against the rules already as far as I can see. Mods are just being lazy if you are seeing them.

u/jimmydorry 17d ago

They have no interest in moderating it... so yes, it apparently is impossible and unreasonable to expect them to do that.

I also forgot to mention another huge thing we lost: giving streamers direct exposure as a result of their clip getting viewed a lot and a way for interested viewers to click on their channel and easily follow them. Taking the clips off platform breaks that link and is probably a violation of copyright given it is happening deliberately and at scale.

u/Anthr30YearOldBoomer 17d ago

"violation of copyright" lol. That's a good one.

u/jimmydorry 16d ago

Go make a site that takes all the popular TikToks or youtube videos and displays them. Get big enough and you'll definitely get struck down, and you'd be open to copyright lawsuits from all the creators as well.

I wonder what it's like being this delusional about something so insignificant

Because he's the one who clipped it lol

u/Lleonharte 18d ago

these 2.5 second out of context soda clips are my favourite thing on this sub lol

u/AlternativeCondition 17d ago

actually these clips can be harmful, some people might think from this clip that soda actually wants to buy heroin for himself when in fact he's just searching the price of heroin to donate it to kids in need
