[4817.00 --> 4819.00] Or that was the luckiest thing ever.
[4819.00 --> 4823.00] And that's actually one of the reasons I'm gonna go on like an old Counter-Strike kinda binge here, if you don't mind.
[4823.00 --> 4826.00] How old are we talking, like, 1.6?
[4826.00 --> 4827.00] Okay, that's not that old.
[4827.00 --> 4828.00] Um, that's okay.
[4828.00 --> 4829.00] 1.6, 1.5, like...
[4829.00 --> 4830.00] Really, you're gonna go back to 1.5?
[4830.00 --> 4832.00] Well, old stuff.
[4832.00 --> 4842.00] Um, if you were running and or jumping or doing something crazy with an AWP, there was like the really weird, really low percentage chance that you could shoot yourself.
[4842.00 --> 4844.00] If you tried to shoot while you're doing that.
[4844.00 --> 4849.00] If you like jumped off of something and took a shot, it was a very low percentage chance, but you could damage yourself.
[4849.00 --> 4852.00] So like, no one really did it.
[4852.00 --> 4860.00] Now, some guy will jump off a ledge and like aim up here with a pistol and get a headshot over there, and be like, oh yeah, no man, no, no, it's just randomly shot over there.
[4860.00 --> 4861.00] It's like, no.
[4861.00 --> 4868.00] One of the videos that they have of one of the guys that got banned, he shot way far away from someone and got a headshot, and people were dismissing it.
[4868.00 --> 4871.00] Like, oh no, it's probably just like bullet stray because he was jumping.
[4871.00 --> 4873.00] It's like, no, he was hacking then.
[4873.00 --> 4874.00] Brutal.
[4874.00 --> 4875.00] Come on.
[4875.00 --> 4877.00] Ugh, I don't know.
[4877.00 --> 4879.00] So there you go.
[4879.00 --> 4880.00] I don't know.
[4880.00 --> 4881.00] Brutal.
[4881.00 --> 4884.00] We can do a few, let's do a few rapid fire topics.
[4884.00 --> 4886.00] Oh, this isn't really rapid fire.
[4886.00 --> 4887.00] Oh, we gotta talk about this.
[4887.00 --> 4890.00] BitTorrent opens Paygate Premium Bundles.
[4890.00 --> 4894.00] The original articles on TechCrunch.com was posted by TechDreamer on the forum.
[4894.00 --> 4896.00] This is freaking cool.
[4896.00 --> 4904.00] I mean, I don't think it's gonna turn BitTorrent into, you know, a legitimate content distribution network overnight.
[4904.00 --> 4910.00] But, they're giving 90% of the funds to the content creator.
[4910.00 --> 4916.00] And when we compare that to other services that exist, like if you were to say publish your song behind a paywall,
[4916.00 --> 4919.00] so that means people, that just means people have to pay for the content, okay?
[4919.00 --> 4925.00] So behind a paywall on iTunes, Apple's taking what, 40 cents on the dollar?
[4925.00 --> 4926.00] Something along those lines?
[4926.00 --> 4927.00] Yeah.
[4927.00 --> 4931.00] So this is fantastic for new artists using BitTorrent as a distribution platform.
[4931.00 --> 4937.00] So peer-to-peer, not BitTorrent like YAR, BitTorrent like peer-to-peer connections.
[4937.00 --> 4940.00] And getting 90% of the money for yourself?
[4940.00 --> 4941.00] That's fantastic.
[4941.00 --> 4943.00] That's actually pretty freaking awesome.
[4943.00 --> 4945.00] I guess that's all there really is to say about it.
[4945.00 --> 4947.00] Yeah, there's not a ton to really add.
[4947.00 --> 4950.00] But I think it's awesome and I do really hope people start using it.
[4950.00 --> 4953.00] I expect kind of smaller groups to start using it.
[4953.00 --> 4960.00] And hopefully, those like one or two really big bands to just jump onto it, because that will popularize it.
[4960.00 --> 4963.00] And then it can grow from there, because hopefully this becomes a big thing.
[4963.00 --> 4969.00] So, you can, and the publisher has a lot of flexibility, and I'd imagine they're gonna continue to tweak it over time.
[4969.00 --> 4971.00] But you can have some content for free.
[4971.00 --> 4974.00] There can be some behind a paywall.
[4974.00 --> 4979.00] You can have content move to paywall after a certain number of visits, for example.
[4979.00 --> 4981.00] That's cool.
[4981.00 --> 4987.00] Also, unlike iTunes, you can potentially have access to your customer information.
[4987.00 --> 4991.00] That's one of the big problems that I have with platforms like iTunes and like YouTube.
[4991.00 --> 4997.00] Or even Twitch to a much lesser extent than, actually no, Twitch is pretty much the same.
[4997.00 --> 5000.00] Yeah, is you guys, I don't know who you are.
[5000.00 --> 5001.00] Yeah.
[5001.00 --> 5003.00] I have no way to communicate with you.
[5003.00 --> 5004.00] Uh, that's not true with Twitch.
[5004.00 --> 5005.00] Okay.
[5005.00 --> 5006.00] Yes.
[5006.00 --> 5007.00] You have a list of all your subscribers.
[5007.00 --> 5008.00] YouTube used to have that.
[5008.00 --> 5009.00] YouTube took it away.
[5009.00 --> 5010.00] Yeah.
[5010.00 --> 5011.00] So I didn't realize Twitch still had it.
[5011.00 --> 5012.00] Okay.
[5012.00 --> 5013.00] I don't know if you, okay.
[5013.00 --> 5014.00] I don't know how easily you can contact them.
[5014.00 --> 5015.00] You have a list of all your subs.
[5015.00 --> 5018.00] I don't know if you have a list of all your followers.
[5018.00 --> 5019.00] I, oh.
[5019.00 --> 5020.00] That's very different.
[5020.00 --> 5021.00] Subs are paying.
[5021.00 --> 5022.00] Right.
[5022.00 --> 5023.00] Okay.
[5023.00 --> 5024.00] Okay.
[5024.00 --> 5027.00] So, YouTube used to give you an entire list of your subscribers.
[5027.00 --> 5031.00] And even though you couldn't send a mass email to them and say, hey, I'm moving over to Vimeo.
[5031.00 --> 5033.00] Can you please make sure to subscribe to me over there?
[5033.00 --> 5036.00] Because that would facilitate moving off of the platform, right?
[5036.00 --> 5040.00] Um, but what you could do is you could message them one by one.
[5040.00 --> 5045.00] And in the even earlier days, uh, you could even see the list of subscribers for someone else's YouTube channel.
[5045.00 --> 5046.00] Yeah.
[5046.00 --> 5053.00] So, some douche canoe, um, who was a competing tech YouTuber at the time, actually went through my entire sublist.
[5053.00 --> 5054.00] Really?
[5054.00 --> 5055.00] And messaged every single one of them.
[5055.00 --> 5056.00] I got so many complaints about it.
[5056.00 --> 5057.00] Blah, blah, blah.
[5057.00 --> 5058.00] Do you know what this guy's doing?
[5058.00 --> 5059.00] I was like, no.
[5059.00 --> 5060.00] Oh my God.
[5060.00 --> 5061.00] Yeah.
[5061.00 --> 5062.00] Go figure, eh?
[5062.00 --> 5063.00] That's brutal.
[5063.00 --> 5065.00] Um, so I understand reasons why this information isn't exposed.
[5065.00 --> 5070.00] And I know that Google has improved that recently through Google Plus.
[5070.00 --> 5074.00] Where you can access some of your most engaged viewers and all that.
[5074.00 --> 5080.00] But that's the problem with these distribution networks is they lock you in like this.
[5080.00 --> 5095.00] Whereas if you own the relationship with your audience, then you can move wherever is best for you and or best for them as opposed to being stuck where someone just wants to take a big cut of the money for something they didn't even create.
