Thank you. Thank you. It's so quiet this morning.
GMGM. King Snooch is in the house.
We got Mr. Console. We got Edge Plays.
How are you guys doing? We're waiting for a few other people to tune in.
I'm going to send out some invitations.
How are you doing, King Snooch? Happy to have you here, brother.
Oh, I'm not doing too bad, brother. Not doing too bad.
Just hanging out, vibing this morning, getting ready to get onto the grindstone, get the work done and see what the day brings. How about yourself?
Same, brother. Just waking up not too long ago. We've got a full day full of spaces. Starting the day off beautifully with some Soulbound spaces. So, yeah, happy for this, bro.
I'm happy to have you, Legend, here, man.
We got Mr. Consul as well.
Mr. Consul, how are you doing today?
Thank you for gracing us with your greatness yesterday.
Lovely weather in the city of nairobi i'll be editing as well as talking
as well as learning how streamers can stand out but all in all i'm in very very good spirits man
and i think that's because edge is here king snoot is here warlord is here
Let's get the party started, buddy.
let's get the party started buddy let's get it cracking
Speaking of, you know, some amazing people,
we've got Edge Place here who I managed to join their first space this week.
I figure at the same time we could get into some quick intros
while we wait for everyone else to tune in
and we get some more people in here. um um at your place how's it going give us a quick intro man and congratulations on your
first face this week yo what is going on thank you so much for having me on here uh you have
a lot of my close friends console marcello all, all of you guys, how are you doing? King, what's up, mate?
I mean, I'm basically an esports player, at least I used to be.
And then I turned into Web3 Gaming full-time, and I just run marketing for Web3 Gaming projects.
And funny enough, you know, I joined your space, and I was, you know, trying to figure out what I need to title my next place as.
But I'll probably be teasing that out later on today and tomorrow.
And we can have another one next Tuesday.
And I would love to see all of you guys there.
If you send us an invitation, I'll make sure to clear the schedule.
Do you want to give a quick intro on what Edge Place is?
My previous in-game name used to be War Machine 666.
And my first ever in-game name was LedforBreakfast33.
And that was the username that I used when I was playing competitive and when i used to play for
face clan and uh that username actually is still there on monowar 3 in the global leaderboards i
think it's around 3 000 or 4 000 in the world and for context there were like 20 million people on
there but uh yeah i mean i changed it to edge plays because uh one machine triple six was too
fucking long for me to work with and i
needed a you know brand change and i came up with edge plays because you know it's sort of like you
break into two words edge being uh no not not the colloquially termed meaning of edge which we all
know but actually i kept it in such a way where you know you have an edge or the other people when
you game so like the edge of the sword that that's what I was going with until I joined Spaceway back.
And someone was like, dude, this guy's edging.
And I was like, oh, fuck me, man.
But that's how the name actually came into being.
It was supposed to basically mean that, you know, you have a competitive edge over whoever you're playing with.
That's where it actually came from.
Having that competitive edge, baby.
That's what Web3 is about.
That's what gaming is about.
I absolutely love it, bro.
Yo, you played with FaithClan, bro?
Yeah, so, I mean, way back when FaithClan just started,
2012 it started and 2014 I used to play with them. What the heck? That's amazing. Yeah, so, I mean, way back when TraceLine just started, 2012
it started, and 2014 I used to play with them.
But then I couldn't really
them and continue my IRL work
because of the time difference.
it's taken a toll on me in every single
getting no sleep which i mean to this day i regret leaving but hey man what on the bridge it is what
it is you build your way up again man that's uh that's a crazy story that's amazing man um
not not the part with no sleep but the phase clan part um amazing Amazing. Okay, I see Jonathan here.
Let me bring you up, bro.
Warlord, how are you doing?
Do you want to give us a quick intro as well?
Tell us what you do and who you are.
I head operations at Saren AI and Tepeo, and I'm currently good
marketing lead of Flexible. So yeah, I'm excited to get on this space. I'm already
familiar with a whole lot of chads, speakers here, Mr. Konto, Marcelo, King Snooch, and Soundboard,
right? Obviously, got on a lot of spaces with you guys and yeah
excited for the discussion as well and yeah just i just heard edge please speaking of how he got
his name and i want to speak a bit about how i got the new wallard as well color the water also
my gamer name right so it was also my gaming name as well and then i just decided like okay yeah web 3 everybody's using like silas's
um fake name so i mean i just decided to cut out that wallet and just keep using it so
yeah it was my name on call of duty mobile i don't know if anyone plays that here but yeah
it was my name on call of duty mobile and yeah the name just stuck right so yeah everywhere
warlord warlord and yeah uh
we're going to be the best decisions i ever made easy to remember easy to pronounce uh yeah bro
i'm not gonna lie warlord's a pretty badass uh gamer name to to you so i love it uh edge plays
you raised your hand go ahead bro yeah well he did mention quality mobile and funny enough i did play competitive quality mobile
for my country and in the t1 place so i was supposed to actually fly out to los angeles
but then when the game just released i was below the age of 18 so i couldn't really make the cut
uh but yeah i mean i've played a lot of competitive quality mobile and to answer your
question one lot yes we do have a lot of people who play quality mobile i'm not sure that people
play uh quality mobile anymore it's pretty dead but i i remember how fun it was especially in
the beginning you got easily you're not 10 plus million players but now i don't know if anyone
really plays that game anymore i for sure don't so yeah
all right i mean yeah yeah i mean yeah i played i played i played called duty mobile almost like every day just like kind of unwind and relax it's one of those mobile games that you just have on
your phone and then anytime you're just ready to you know it's so action and so like it's just it's
just a game i used to distress basically
and to hear that you play you play that um professionally or rather internationally i
mean it's crazy that just is you're a really badass gamer right i'm still i'm still trying
to even get into legendary rank to be honest but that just feels that you go crazy and yeah that's
that and you're happy for you as well happy for you as
well thank you so much man i think legendary hit like 17 times but you know what in all honesty
though damn you know honestly can you stop flexing nah nah nah i'm done with that i'm done with that
but uh what i wanted to say is i mean quality mobile as a game itself is absolutely beautiful
man like even at first release if they could actually take all of the game mechanics of Call of Duty Mobile
and all of the maps and all of the content, basically,
and shift it to, like, console and PC,
dude, that specific Call of Duty title is going to outperform
every single Call of Duty title ever.
And, like, that game was stacked, man.
And the fact that it was released only on mobile is kind of
like a pt but hey it is what it is man call of duty mobile was so much fun big uh big throwback
uh console you had raised your hand uh go ahead bro yeah i raised my hand because
did they discontinue call of duty mobile I came across a headline of that degree.
It should be getting cleansed from the Play Store and Marketplace, I believe.
I mean, to answer your question, it's actually Call of Duty Warzone.
So Call of Duty Warzone Mobile also had come out.
And since that had like zero traction they
decided to shut down servers and studios and the was on studio basically but no man quality mobile
is actually doing pretty well only because you know it's free to play so you don't need to pay
anything to play uh but quality warzone is the game that actually is going to be discontinued i
think from october 1st or something I'm not really sure about the date.
Well, I hope you guys didn't buy any assets in the game because, yeah, we're cooked.
Let's wrap up the intros.
How are you doing, Jonathan? I think it's the first time I have you on, unless I just don't recognize your PFP, but give us a quick intro, how are you doing? And yeah man, what do you do in the space?
things in common um but yeah i hope you're gonna see my pfp more often i'm quite an og in the space
actually i'm more of a builder started my crypto and my three story back in 2017 but i definitely
know some people up in the panel maybe some people up in the audience uh king smooch we definitely
have been hanging out on quite some spaces during the last two years so yeah let's get it guys i
would say throw some throw some reactions up in the air drop two years so yeah let's get it guys i would say
throw some throw some reactions up in the air drop a comment below and let's get more people
into the space guys let's go thank you jonathan you just did my co-host duties that i was just
gonna get to uh absolutely let's like and share the space let's get some more people in here
a few other speakers uh we're supposed to show up not still sending some DMS, you know what it's like, but uh, yeah without further ado
Let's get into the topic guys how to stand out as a streamer and
Content creator yes, you heard it right so you guys don't know what soulbound TV is. We are a beautiful
streaming web 3 streaming platform
But we're doing it very differently from a lot of the traditional platforms
You get to keep a hundred percent of your tip. We're gonna have some AI agents. We're deep empowered. We have our telegram app
We also got our TG coming up very soon, but uh with all that aside
Yeah, man streaming has been a really interesting Avenue even for myself as the content creator
Yeah, man, streaming has been a really interesting avenue, even for myself as a content creator.
And this is Marcello speaking.
But yeah, no, it's been really interesting.
And I've been very curious.
I've been paying attention to a lot of creators.
I'm trying to figure out, what does it take?
But I'll start opening up the panel.
What does it take to stand out as a content creator?
for? What do people gravitate to? What do people naturally look for when they're looking? Are they
looking for entertainment? Are they looking for education? Are they looking? What kind of value
are people looking for when it comes to creators? I saw Mr. Consul, his hand up one real quick, real quick. I want to hear what you got to say, brother.
And I know most of us will look at this question like a technical question
on when you need to post your stream or what personality you need to wear.
you need to wear but i think that's all bs what you need to do to stand out is to simply be
But I think that's all BS.
consistent that's the name of the game put your face in front of the camera as many times as
you can right some of these dudes have been streaming for a very long time consistently and repurposing their content on different mediums just to get that recognition.
I think that's what you need in order to stand out.
Consistency and dedication.
I absolutely need to be consistent.
Otherwise, you know, you're going to fall
off the train. Other content creators
are going to get ahead of you. The question
is, though, Mr. Consul, is consistency
consistent and I show up every day,
will I stand out? Are people going to
look at my content? What if I'm absolute
shit and I show up every day? Are people going to be at my content? What if I'm absolute shit and I show up every day?
Are people going to be watching my content?
I'm going to just throw that question back out for anybody here.
We've got a bunch of hands.
King Snooch, your hand went up just as quick as Mr. Consul.
So I need to hear what you guys say.
My man, I love you, Mr. Consul.
You are right, but you are also wrong.
It's not the only thing you need to do. You need to be consistent, but you also need to be unique. You need to have something about you that people are like, oh, I like this guy because he does this. I like this guy because he tells dad jokes. I like this guy because he's really, really energetic. I like this guy because whenever he's doing jump scares, he's real animated and his eyes pop out of his head.
Like there's things that attract an audience to a person.
And you have to have something that's unique.
If you just go out there and you're consistent and you're talking about like stock trades all day long and really boring shit, you're not going to get, you know, a bunch of gamers wanting to watch you.
all day long and really boring shit,
a bunch of gamers wanting to watch you.
You got to have something that is you and makes people know,
There's something unique about him.
And the other thing that you need to do is you need to be fucking
you have to make people want to watch you want to come back.
It's great and grand. If like you do a cool stream or something like that.
People watch it for a little bit and then they're like, yeah, this was cool.
I got some cool information, but I'll never follow this guy.
I'll never watch him again.
As opposed to somebody who's just so entertaining, you're like, man, I can't wait to see what the next video that this guy's going to put out is.
But you're absolutely right as well.
You have to be consistent because
you can't have one without the other you could be the most entertaining person in the world but if
you do one video where do you go from there you've got to show up every day you've got to put the work
in you've got to be entertaining and you've got to be somebody that people want to watch and hang out with. See!
Yeah, no, King Snoop's absolutely right.
You've got to be entertaining.
You've got to bring some kind of value, right?
I think, you know, I've been paying attention to some of the, I guess,
quote-unquote, Web2 streamers, or I guess just the biggest streamers in the world.
And you look at people like Speed, who literally started during COVID, and today is, like, guess just the biggest streamers in the world. And you look at people like Speed, who literally started during COVID, and today is like one of the biggest streamers in the world.
It's because the guy is super entertaining, man.
He's really, I really like his style too, but like, yeah, entertainment value is huge.
I mean, I'm curious, KingStooth, just to throw it back at you, what's one creator or streamer
that, you know, who's your favorite creator right now?
There is one out there, outside of Web3.
I'm just curious to, like, get your insight.
It's honestly a tie between two.
There's two of them that they are unique in their own ways, but both of them, I would love to watch any live stream that they do.
And it's Yukin and it's Bryson.
Let's fucking go. I mean, speaking of the devil, Yukin's supposed to be here. I sent him an
invitation. I hope he pulls up that. That would have actually been perfect. I love it, man.
Yeah, those two are absolutely great. Constable, I saw you raise your hand back up.
uh go ahead and then we'll go with some of the other speakers yeah i just want to be the devil's
Go ahead and then we'll go with some of the other speakers.
advocate here and when i summarized my take as to what you need to do in order to stand out
as just consistency i look at the streamers that are currently hot and popping please tell me what's unique about this guys right it's reached a point where
the algorithm shows me their content that's repurposed on ig and youtube and truly i wonder
what is unique what is entertaining when we look at twitch which is the grandfather of streaming
which is the grandfather of streaming the largest category by views is just chatting
that category by itself right and i believe gta is like number two these guys do nothing unique
or maybe i don't know what uniqueness is they're quite boring let's just state it as it is but the
fact that they've been around for a very long time
makes them seem like they have this god-like aura because i watch and study these guys
yes they're entertaining but half the time they're just purposely acting stupid in order to make us
feel wow moments whenever we watch their streams so i'd like to refute that argument not that it
doesn't hold truth but to me from what i've seen from the lack of talent currently existing in the
streaming world you just really need to be consistent if you can be consistent and have
other things to offer your audience that's definitely gonna be wind to your propellers
but the industry standard is so low all you need to do at least from how i view it and what i see
is switch on the camera and be consistent right and it's somewhat painful because
the small creators put in so much work and effort. They go beyond in entertaining
and creating these experiences for the audiences in contrast to the big guys who do nothing,
turn on the camera, play a game. They don't even react to the game they're playing, right? They
don't even read the comments and things of that degree, and they still somewhat get the most amount of views or the most amount of money by people gifting them.
And that just summarized it to me that consistency is king above everything, especially with the current standard of things.
I want to just throw this right back to you.
I love you, by the and i i i respect everything you
always come back with my question you on this would be are you referring to people in web 3
that are content creators that are consistently showing up shilling projects
no i'm talking about the general streaming world i I actually seldom look at things as Web3.
I look at things in a more macro point of view.
I don't even know Web3 content creators, ironically,
I just look at content as content.
So I look at it like I watch my son, right?
Like my son has certain content creators that he goes
and he looks them up on YouTube because they provide good information and they're entertaining to watch.
Like he I'll listen to him giggle like he laughs. He has a good time watching these videos.
So they're giving him good entertainment value and he's entertained by them and they're consistent.
I think that's that's the key is you've got to have something that brings people back and you've got to be consistent. I think that's the key is you've got to have something that brings people
back and you've got to be consistent. So yes, I 100% agree with you. If you don't have the
consistency, you're going nowhere. Yeah, consistency is everything. That is just the law
of life. Can't do anything if you're not consistent. I love it. We've got some more hands.
I just want to throw one more time back at Mr. Consul.
Consul, what does it take to be consistent?
What does consistency look like to you?
Because I'm sure, you know, the word consistency,
some people think, okay, well, if I stream once a week,
Like, what are we looking like?
Or does it just look different for everyone?
Oh yeah, that's a very, very beautiful question.
And of course, it's subjective.
But in the current climate, if, and tying to the title of this space,
you want to stand out, you have to be grinding day in, day out,
at least to gain that initial traction.
The hardest part of your journey as a streamer is going to be from going to from zero to one so in my opinion it's going at it
every day that's in streaming every day in repurposing your streams right that also shows
consistency in the algorithm and the algorithm
just keeps on popping up your face. And when your face is seen enough times, voila, you're
interesting, voila, you're famous, voila, people need to know you. And it's also consistency in
your content material, right? If you're in all sort of industries talking about
all sort of things, mingling with all sort of people, I think that might disadvantage you.
So stay somewhat niche, hang out with the same guys, be consistent in having your face recognized
because I think that's just what it takes to win in this day and age,
especially considering what's happening in this day and age.
Not that I refute anything King Snooch said.
King Snooch, I love you too.
It warmed my heart when you said you hear your son giggle.
I think that's a very beautiful thing to hear, really.
And yeah, if you're consistent with other
added talents that's just gonna be really really really amazing let's go absolutely love it i
absolutely love it thank you mr console thank you king snooch for the amazing takes let's go to some
of the other speakers in the panel we've got a Efesco who just joined us not too long ago. How are you doing, brother? Also, you didn't get an opportunity to introduce yourself on the panel today. So if you want to do that real quick before you answer, go ahead.
I was on something or start something with something good.
I'm the assistant in Genome Protocol where we talk about games
and how to make creators engage and, should I say,
enjoy what they are doing, what they love doing,
So, yeah, I raised my hand because I had something about consistency.
I think I wrote something, I think a content about that last time.
You cannot do consistency.
You cannot become consistent in this space and survive just by being consistent.
You can be consistently be doing shit and it won't work for you.
So the most important thing is become consistent on what you are doing and improve and
look at what are others doing that is working for them you can be consistently be shilling meme
coins i'm telling you rugging people up and down without getting shit done but if you are consistently
doing stuff and improving and learning this is how this was supposed to do oh i'm doing this
wrong oh i'm supposed to do this now you understand consistently and doing things um that helps your life helping you improve you
don't need to become a content creator and continue yapping every day without improving
how to yap you understand look at what people are doing what are they doing right and what are they
doing wrong you improve your stay i think at the end of the day, you see that where you started from zero and where you are now at one,
And that's what I understood by consistency.
And for me, I don't want to jump in too much.
But when it comes to streamers, let me tell you something.
I'm not too good at stream, but I went last time to Kix.
I restarted at Kix last month. I restarted.
I was saying, you know, streamers, we talk about games, although you can do other things.
You can do casinos on streams and get paid for it. But if you want to stream, you look at what should I do?
I just got, like I said, improving. I noticed there are some hashtags you could use that give you views.
And, you know, if you don't use those hashtags, let me tell you something, you're not going to get views.
I didn't get, I got zero views on my streams.
I decided, no, I'll never go to Geeks anymore again.
I came back to my Twitter, to my ass, and started doing what I'm out to do.
I'm not going to kill myself because
people are hyping those places so much.
It's better to think of what you know
how to do and improve in that
one place you know how to do.
That way, you know where you are going, don't jump
improving with consistency.
No consistency without improvement.
Much love always. love, Paul.
But, yeah, you could consistently be doing shit.
Got to consistently improve, baby.
Sorry for the pushback, bro.
But, yeah, it seems like we do got to improve a bit.
you bring the spicy takes um if that's gonna totally agree i think uh yeah i think you definitely
need to keep showing up but if you're not if you're not improving you could be i was dying
when you said consistently rugged uh that was good um amazing no i think you nailed it bro i
don't have much more to say that i I think you really touched on some great points
I don't know about you Marcello
but for some reason I just get this feeling
that I want to sit down with a Fesco
and just vibe out with this guy for like hours
that's what I'm saying, bro.
At Fesco, we're going to have to bring you to a conference with Tanoo and I, bro.
Yeah, no, Fesco's a vibe.
Come to GDC next year, bro.
Warlord, go ahead, brother.
I want to hear what you got to say.
Your hand's been up for a minute.
We've been up for a minute.
I mean, a lot of points have been shared right a lot of killer takes have been shared especially between mr
console king smudge ifesco right and just to kind of like summarize my whole um view on everything
right first of all i think to be to make it to stand out as a creator streamer whatever it is
i think it's it all comes down
to wearing your personality on your sleeves right because i mean there's in a saturated space that's
the only way to really stand out because in reality no one can be like you you're literally
one of one right so it's just as easy as wearing your personality, wearing your experiences on your sleeves,
putting that out there, right?
And when it comes to consistency, right?
Because, I mean, the topic of consistency has been passed around a lot.
I feel like consistency is definitely key, but then also conscious learning has to be tagged along with that consistency, because if you're consistent and you're not consciously learning from those experiences, then then you're like, like Fesco said, you're consistently, right? As you're growing, as you, as you get on the next stream,
after every stream, there has to be taken with. If that is being done consciously and consistently,
then, I mean, the top is your limits. And for what Mr. Consul said, Mr. Consul said that
there are a lot of streamers out there that he gets on and he's not really entertained by what
they do. But what I would want to say is that
like i want to a lot of work goes in behind the scenes just to bring out that content that seems
to be useless sort of sort or without value right i feel like let's not even even as much as the
the fact that we don't really or you don't really like those streamers let's not take away from
fact that we don't really or you don't really like those streamers let's not take away from
the efforts put into it because regardless i mean they had a vision and they've been able to build
build themselves up to where they are so i mean giving them that accolade of okay yeah they are
they've gotten to this extent i feel like that's the bare minimum anyone and everyone could do
because the reality is that it's never easy for anyone
regardless of your background where you are where you're going regardless of the journey right it's
never easy it's never nobody will ever tell you that it's been easy um growing right and to
consistency i had another topic of it's consistency enough, right? Or how does consistency look like for everyone?
And my take on that would be that consistency is literally obsession over like a long period, right?
So that's just you being obsessed over a long period of time.
That is what consistency means.
So for everyone, it differs.
Consistency for someone could be one year. could be one month consistency could be two months but
once you're obsessed now regardless of if it's 10 years if it's five years you don't care because
you're actually obsessed right if you take a step every day and someone takes 10 steps every day
and then the person stops at three months but you're going at one year a year plus i mean consistency is is subjective to like the person but like i said
it's obsession over like a long a very long period of time so yeah that's my two cents on
i mean the topics that have been passed around so far so So, yeah. I love it, man.
I mean, obsession is definitely a huge part, I think.
You've got to obsess over what you want to be successful at.
And, you know, going back to the consistency piece, very important.
I love how you mentioned, you know, you've got to be consciously learning.
You know, Warlord, to throw it at you what what how does that even go for
those that are like okay i want to consciously learn but what are you what what would you say
somebody should be focusing on should they be taking in feedback from other people should they
be looking at like what should they be doing to actually consciously learn and consistently improve? Yeah, 100%, 100%.
I think to consistently learn,
I mean, you have to have a vision, right?
For any sort of form of way.
So if the steps you're taking
are getting you closer to that vision,
as little and as minute as it may seem,
then you're consistent with learning.
As long as you're not going backward
from where you're at right now, then for as you're not going backward from where you are
right now then for sure your consistency learning it's as we humans it's a subconscious
thing right as long as you have a goal right and then you're you're moving towards it
right you're getting better right you're taking feedback from yourself i mean feedback could come
from other people as well but more or less if you're
not able to get positive feedback from everyone because we know we all know how um the situation
could be sometimes not everyone is always in your corner supporting but as long as you're getting
that feedback from yourself that okay yeah i did this yesterday and i tried to be one percent better
today right just you also having an honest review on yourself i think that's how like the
conscious learning is being embedded into like our subconscious because we all have people we
all have visions and nobody's just doing something for the fun of it we all have where we want to be
and where we are going so i mean every step we take every act we make should be con which should
be propelling us towards that vision.
And then that's just how conscious learning and everything just, like,
Everything just basically aligns.
So, yeah, I hope that answers your question.
Going to go with some of the other speakers.
Ed, please, your hand's been up for a minute as well.
Let me pass it to you go ahead brother mate i had so many talking points but snooze and wallard
literally took them all away i mean i couldn't agree with them more uh but i mean to add on to
it i feel like there's a little bit of luck also involved i mean you know you can't really become uh a streamer with like 50 60k followers uh
overnight right i mean there are there are some key moments where you know that one
moment where you start streaming or like that one particular play that you do becomes viral i mean
i think i spoke i spoke about this uh on a previous space that you know your host is
i mean i'm talking about uh the clip where
i show speed goes and says chris ronaldo suey and that was like an overnight sensation and then the
rest is history right so i feel like there is some sort of uh you know luck involved i'm not saying
that you know it's only luck and there's literally no hard work that's not what i'm saying uh but at
the end of the day i feel like it all just depends on how that one particular moment
in your entire streaming career literally goes so that's just literally what i wanted to say
yeah it's really it's really amazing to see man uh warlord you raised your hand up real fast go ahead
yeah yeah i mean just to share another thing i mean mean, H3, I love what you said. I'm not trying to conflict your opinion, right?
But me personally, I really don't believe in luck.
If I'm being dead honest, I don't believe luck is possible.
I feel like luck is just where readiness meets opportunity.
It's just that point where you've been ready and then you just
take that opportunity that's when people say okay yeah um this guy got lucky because anybody could
have gotten lucky i know that a lot of people have missed a lot of opportunities just because
they were not ready right could and that would have easily been said that would have easily been
accounted as okay yeah this guy got lucky but if you were not ready in the first place you could have easily missed that opportunity if he was not
readily streaming for um like actual speed if he was not readily streaming for a good amount of time
right then he wouldn't never have even gotten that opportunity of slag like saying okay yeah
christa ronaldoi, if he never was ready
enough, then he would have never gotten that opportunity. So I feel like luck is like a
fiction or it's like a way to undermine resilience, the way to undermine, or yeah, the way to undermine
and overlook perseverance, right? Hard work. I feel that when people say, okay, yeah, he
got lucky. But the reality is that no one is ever lucky. I feel that when people say, okay, yeah, you got lucky.
But the reality is that no one is ever lucky. It's just when your readiness meets the opportunity and then boom, you just have it there. So yeah. Let me drop my mic here.
Mic drop. You know, I love these takes and, you know, before I pass it to Mr. Consul,
because I see his hands up, I want to hear what he's got to say.
I would definitely, yeah, going back to, like, the luck piece, I think I heard this one thing.
I'm probably going to completely butcher it.
But, yeah, man, the harder you work, the luckier you get, right?
And I think to be at the right place at the right time, if you consistently show up, you know, you might get lucky,
but you're the one that put yourself
in that meeting with that person
or put yourself in the right place
because you did the hundred plus hours, etc.
So, yeah, I absolutely really believe it.
I believe in luck to some degree,
but I think you got to work your ass off to get lucky.
Mr. Consul, everybody's throwing jabs at you here, bro.
Your hot take has been very spicy.
What do you think, brother?
But I know you like to bring the spice just to keep things interesting.
But you brought your hand up, and I want to know what you think now, bro.
Have we changed your mind?
Yeah, for sure, man. Have we changed your mind?
It's like I'm in an arena here.
Efesco came at me so hard.
I told you, we're friends from the same continent, man.
Anyway, I want to add that to consistency because I still stand very grounded on the view that you need to be consistent.
And that's because I see what's actually circulating the internet and what's making it and why it's making it.
And I mean, it's not that these guys are not putting in work.
I'm not discrediting what they're doing.
Because you can have two individuals, person A and person B, both be consistent.
But one's going to pop off and the other isn't.
I'm not discrediting that at all.
I'm also not just blatantly stating that you need to be consistent and overlook everything else.
It doesn't work like that, right?
Mr. Beast, I believe the most popular YouTuber said that you need to make 100 videos and improve just by one degree in each video.
So that element is very truthful.
But I want to add that you need to consistently
speak to a particular audience.
I think that's one part that we've missed so far
in this 40-minute discussion,
talking about the audience.
Because they're not streaming for you.
You're streaming for a view
you're streaming for that viewer to potentially invite a friend and to come back again and
if you're consistently speaking their language consistently delivering what they want and that can be a spectrum of things you can make it quite literally just
streaming about ant and animal wildlife right that could be your niche but as long as you're
consistently addressing what this niche wants in a way that they want it packaging it in a way that
they can consume it i think i think that's really gonna take you off right
that's the part i want to add to this discussion consistently speaking the language of your
audience right you have to be culturally relevant they have to see you in them them in you and i
think that's how you really stand out in this day and age.
Mr. Consul stands his ground.
He's not an easy one to shackle.
He stays strong with his conviction, Mr. Consul.
But, yeah, no, absolutely, man.
I think you definitely need to know your audience.
And who you're speaking to speaks volumes and how you
speak to them is super important let me ask you something mr console just throw it back at you
if you're a content creator should you stick how do i say this should you stay in your lane if i'm
making gaming content should i consistently always just stay around gaming content?
Or should I mix it around with other stuff that I might be interested in?
But this whole time I've been building a gaming audience, is my audience really going to care?
Or should I still do it because that's what's authentic to me?
What do you think going back to the consistency piece?
Should I just consistently make content around what I've been known to do or should I also explore other avenues? What do you think? Yeah, I think that's a really,
really good question. And we've had streamers grow up with the camera and eventually change their persona and want to introduce something new to their audiences, bringing their audience
alongside them on their journey. Beyond everything,
just be transparent with your transformation, right? You don't need to be stuck and glued and
immobile on a particular topic that's no longer tapping into what you feel or what you want to do into the future. I think that's one part of it.
Another aspect is we shouldn't limit how we address a particular topic.
And what I mean by this is
I can be streaming gaming content
as someone playing the game,
as someone reviewing the game,
as someone who has a funny humorous skit that ties into
gaming right for example if i'm gaming too long my mom's gonna whip me something of that degree
and add comedy to it it's all within gaming as the umbrella as the mother topic but it's different
segments different content pieces that essentially help you in gaining virality
because the comedy is going to reach the masses
whilst the in-depth gaming reports is going to be for the industrialists.
So I think it's two parts of it.
One, transform with your audience, take them along the journey.
And two, just look at the umbrella and attack that umbrella in different angles.
Because gaming is not just being bored in a room with the console in your hand.
It's also going out to the street and asking people if they know this particular game.
So, yeah, tackling different angles is definitely huge.
I think that, you know, and that's what's interesting.
You know, it could still be technically the same content or the same funnel around gaming, for instance.
But, yeah, go out and get people's opinions.
Think outside of the box it doesn't just
have to be you uh sitting behind a stream and uh people watching you play there's so many different
ways of making content so i absolutely love that um yeah man you know i really do believe
authenticity speaks volumes as well i know that some people have said before um posting outside
niche whatever however you want to pronounce that word could sometimes the
algo might punish you just because like you're consistently posting gaming
content and then someday you're just posting like I'm going golfing the
algo doesn't like that on X and I think sometimes another platforms but at the
same time I also think it humanizes you a bit more where people could relate.
You know, that relatability factor is huge with your audience.
And I feel like if people see that, it's like, oh, shit,
Marcello loves golfing too or he loves basketball or he loves nachos.
People relate with that stuff.
And I think that almost helps you build even a closer relationship
even if, quote, unquote, the algo might punish you in the short term.
I really like that stuff because I feel like โ I don't know.
I love seeing gaming content, but I also love seeing the human side of people and things outside of what they're always posting.
I think if they post a video with their kid, it's like, oh, shit, okay, this person is more than just a gamer.
Suddenly I look at them differently,
you know, like in a more positive light, I mean.
So yeah, just some thoughts.
Okay, we got some other hands.
Warlord, we'll pass it to you,
and then I want to hear what King Snooch has to say.
I believe Warlord is a listener.
On my screen, it was a little different.
Yeah, so just on what you were saying right there.
Yeah, I just wanted to, I'm so sorry to interrupt.
But to answer your question, Marcelo,
if it's going to be about
gaming and gaming related content,
I feel like no one else has done it better than
Faceline early on in, you know,
YouTube where they transitioned from
gaming into lifestyle. So
I'm definitely with you on that in terms
of, you know, consuming content
that is in and around gaming
and not just gaming. I feel like
there's a lot of potential to that.
So long as both of the, you know, categories compliment each other.
I mean, you can't go from gaming to, you know, let's say like software development or some
completely non-related topic, right?
So yeah, total props to you on that.
Yeah, well said, my friend.
So I'm going to kind of throw back a little bit on this.
And I've spoke to a couple of people about, you know, YouTube when they're streaming for gaming.
Right. And you would think, oh, gaming is just gaming.
However, the algorithms with YouTube are pretty intense.
And I know Sam's down there. He could probably speak on this, too.
It'd be great if he could kind of comment on it.
But if if you're streaming right on YouTube and you're streaming trading card game, right, that's your thing.
That's your audience. That's that's the the type of topic that you are streaming.
YouTube is going to promote your stream to people who are interested in trading card games.
And if you swap it up and you change all of a sudden one day and you're like, ah, today
I want to stream about FPS.
Well, what's going to happen is YouTube is going to continue to promote you to people
who are interested in trading card game because they think that's what you're, that's what
And what's going to happen is YouTube's going to get pissed because they're going to get people who go to watch your stream
thinking it's going to be trading card games and they don't like it and they go to the next stream
the algorithm senses that and what's going to end up happening is if you don't stay in your niche
on youtube you're actually going to lose traction and I know it sounds terrible
and it's not great but it honestly happens when you have a niche YouTube
will keep promoting you to people who like that niche and if you just kind of
go all over the place you're gonna struggle to take off absolutely I mean
there's that side of things too which I totally get um at the end of the day this
is you know this is all a big game and it's like if you're if you're literally your livelihood
your livelihood depends on uh the success of your business which is your channel then yeah you know
it's it's it's tricky waters uh king stooch just to throw it back at you you said you know for
people that are trying to take off,
what about for folks that have already established an audience?
Would you say that that's a little bit different
or that would apply just the same?
It's difficult to say because when you have an audience, right,
if you only care about the audience you have and you're not looking to grow, then it doesn't matter.
But if you're looking to grow and you're depending on platforms like YouTube to push people that might be interested in your topic to you, you've got to stay in a niche.
You've got to stay in your lane.
Got to stay in your lane, baby. You got to stay in a niche. You've got to stay in your lane. Got to stay in your lane, baby. You
got to stay in your lane. No, this is a, that's a really great point. I will say this though. I
will say this. If your lane is multiple different genres, right? And that's what you're going for.
And your audience is people who are interested in multiple different genres,
then YouTube will promote you to people who are interested in multiple different genres,
But like I said, if you're building your channel on the precedence of FPS,
and then all of a sudden you decide to go stream something else,
you're going to lose traction.
Yeah, I totally get that.
And as a content creator, I empathize with that.
I mean, anytime I post anything non-Web3 or gaming,
like my engagement tanks.
Unless it's like, I don't know,
sometimes touchgrass posts do pretty well.
Anyways, Efesco, go ahead bro um i think uh you guys are missing
something very very interesting uh you're talking about youtube while you're in web trade let me
tell you something have you forgotten about kaito what's about those content creators you're happy
about multiple 10 000 of projects every two two seconds let me tell you something they are farming yap you uh let me tell you they
are even familiar right now yeah let me tell you they are not even loud you you know no no no no
like you enough but let me tell you something they don't care about the niche they are talking about
they are yapping about any project on kaito i don't know what you have to say about that but
let me tell you something you need to focus on what you have right now in info file
in web 3 forget about youtube so what you have to tell these guys are they trying to
i confuse your audience are they trying to confuse a second reading or something but let
me tell you something if you're not yapping i don't know what you are doing in web 3 i don't
know you can't yap in youtube you can't yap anywhere but you can yap on s try multiple uh
let me say even code say that you can try
multiple things and know what works for you you can go to youtube and try multiple things but it
cannot work for you but on earth you can try multiple things and it works for you so depends
on the platform you are depends on the platform you want to go creating your content sorry i said
fucking by the mini sorry so much but yeah um you can try so many
things but most important things if you want to start let me say if you want to start don't go
confusing yourself for where you want to start from start from somewhere and that's what most
people are forgetting i'm so mad about content creators in web 3 because they feel like they are
alone they can't show their face they don't want to spend time on a particular niche, they just want to get the bags and dump and leave.
But in Web2, that's why I'm talking about Web2, in YouTube, you can focus on one niche and spend your entire life on them and enjoy.
But here in Web2, nobody wants to show their fucking face because they are here for the money.
And the right time we start, let me not say, pushing them out info file kaito is here to say we only need
to find a way to make it work for us we cannot push them away but let's try to ha ha ha hammer
hammer somethings on them maybe and get their sense back uh let me tell you something imagine
seeing the code you admire doing sobya pure and farming and you as the content creator you see
that you'll be like oh that's what is working.
I need to queue in because you don't want to miss that wife.
Wife freedom, that money, you want to make it and disappear.
And I was talking to one content creator last time.
He was telling me that two seconds, you always forget about my yapping.
You always forget about, I posted about Yappio.
So let me post it for the time.
I think two seconds next year, you might not even remember what i'm doing so that is what is giving them the moral to continue yapping um a multiple project
but for me i'm only here yapping about genome and katana much love always i don't know if i
have two more but that's me for you much love always
bro where did we find this guy he He's so fucking funny, bro.
Let's pass it to Mr. Consul.
And also, I realize we're almost at the top of the hour.
We're going to start wrapping it up.
Jonathan, I'm going to go to you after Mr. Consul.
You've been a little quiet, and I'm going to have to pick you out.
I want to hear what you've got to say, brother. But Mr. Consul. You've been a little quiet and I'm going to have to pick you out. I want to hear what you got to say, brother.
But Mr. Consul, go ahead.
King Snooch brought a really important part to the conversation.
And that's how the algorithm is.
Beyond the algorithm, what, I mean, I'm personally very uncomfortable subscribing to someone's channel or following
someone who i don't even know what the next content post is gonna be right i i want to follow
someone who i know oh this guy is always gonna somewhat deliver fitness quality videos this
individual is gonna deliver a b c. But when the content is too
random, I just feel like, yeah, I'm not going to stick around. Right? So that's a really, really
beautiful part to the conversation. And I just wanted to take that higher and tell the streamers
and content creators here that you're not really limited to just having one channel.
Right? I have two channels, right?
I have an undocked travel channel where I'm always just roaming places with my brother.
But I also have this gaming persona, which I believe we can also add to the discussion and say,
you're not just one person even if you're
pushing one content style you can have multiple channels this channel could be Mr Console the
other could actually be Marcelo getting to know Marcelo and they're both entwined so that people
know that it's the same person and they can jump in between to experience you in your realms differently.
So I thought that's also important to bring to the discussion.
Yeah, I've definitely seen people do that.
And it's definitely worked for them too, man.
I think having different channels for different things
where gamers maybe just want to follow a gaming channel, but you're also into art.
You maybe start a separate art channel or whatever.
So, yeah, no, absolutely love it.
Jonathan, I'm going to pick you out, brother.
I want to hear what your thoughts are.
What do you think on this conversation?
Any thoughts? we got rugged guys we got rugged uh warlord go ahead and uh for anybody else that has any final
takes now's your chance we got two minutes left before i gotta jump to the next space baby but go ahead warlord um yeah i mean really love what um
king smooch said right really really loved what um mr console said right what i mean also just to
add like a different layer to the conversation i also feel like um regardless of the algorithm
it also comes down to also putting your personality out there because I mean your audience would be more entertained and more intrigued on like who is the person behind this account right
so regardless of what content you're pushing as long as it is where you are right now or where
your headspace is I feel like your content or your like there will always be an audience or your
audience or your audience will always be ready to consume it because i mean they are
more in tune with the person behind the account not just you pushing out promoted content or like
content that doesn't really portray who you are right so yeah i feel like you put you wear your
personality on your sleeves will just make you more comfortable to like build a more well-known
and more solid audience so when the time comes if you're ready to shift with between
gears then you're shifting comfortably right knowing that you have an audience that are which
you because of who you are right not just because of what you're putting out there not just because
you're trying to fake a lifestyle yeah so um yeah i'll drop my mic there because it's about just a
minute left yeah let's go i realized uh saying that i got a bunch of hands going up
yeah let's keep it short guys and then i gotta jump to the next space edge please go ahead brother
yeah i mean just to wrap it up i just i do want to you know add something that i forgot to add
before and that's you know basically a lot of people and i mean a lot like 99 percent of people
compared to like the top most streamers like you know tens xuc
kaisen that whole lot and they just end up fumbling it because they just want to be someone
that they're not so i feel like the success to you know being a good streamer and being good
content creator is just to be yourself i mean too many people want to be uh too many other kind of
people that's literally it i love that so much, dude.
I don't think we talked about that enough on this space.
Just fucking be yourself, man.
Stop trying to be like everyone else.
I think that's why we gravitate to certain content creators and streamers.
It's because it's authentically themselves,
whether they're a certain style or fashion of content
or they're entertaining or they're a certain style or a fashion of content or they're entertaining or animated.
It all just comes down to follow amongst the consistency and all the other stuff.
It's just following people for who they are, man, and who we gravitate with.
Fesco, I'll pass it to you and we're going to wrap it up.
I just want to say, I think it's a recap. I going to wrap it up. Go ahead, brother. I just want to say,
I think it's a recap. I want to say something here.
always be consistently and
also improve what we are doing.
Number two, we should look at
what we have two creators are doing because
they are our mentors. You understand?
They do things, they put their
you understand they they they stick to what is working and they improve but in web3 why i'm
saying we're free because i see lots of creators what we are doing and i look at what others are
doing in web2 and how they do it they don't just come because of the money they give values a lot
a lot of values before they even start access for money because they have a funny debut debut from their
brand because they see their page as a business you know so you want to give a
value you want your audience you want anyone coming to your page to see what
you offer see what you have offered before asking for money but in web 3 we
just ask for the money, which is bad.
You can be consistently doing shit,
you understand, like I said, without improving.
If you come out as a contest creator
in Web3 and want to do something, give
us those values you have.
Look at what should you give
if you are not giving anything, how do you expect
How do you expect your page to convert?
How do you expect projects to give you these and get results from them, get conversions from them?
Because at the end of the day, we are just posting for posting sake.
And projects are not getting those things they want.
They want things that will be given to content creators and sales will be made.
And the writer will start looking at those things.
I think that's when we start seeing the better place for WebTree.
If not, I don't see us giving money to content creators
that don't want to improve.
And the moment we start giving it to those people that need it,
those people that make it work, the better for us.
And that's where we start seeing projects generating revenue.
Because when projects start generating
revenue from those content creators,
I think that's where we enjoy
and that's what I talk about, improving.
You need to improve. You can be
constantly posting posts daily
without improvement. It's nothing.
I'm sorry about yapping too much,
but yeah, I'm Efesco. I'm
the BD Assistant at Genome Protocol
where we make your engagement, your fun, enjoyable,
while rewarding you for what you do and what you do,
I just realized I didn't get onto the panel for the next phase,
so I do have another few minutes.
I want to see if Jonathan, I want to pick you out, brother.
Again, I don't know if you heard me the first time but uh i want to see if you've got any takes you've been uh very quiet on the space and uh i don't know if you're rugged but
yeah i want to hear what you got to say yeah not today all right guys this was great no buddy
jonathan has had the messaging of today's space,
So why are you going to make him break silence?
He's been consistently silent.
Just let him follow suit.
Yeah, he's been very consistent.
Yeah, no, this is great, guys.
Appreciate every single one of you guys.

Thank you to the speakers that tuned in uh contributed consistently
on this panel and uh yeah we'll catch you on the next one guys absolutely love you
have a great day take care everybody oh wait we got some hands do i do have some hands warlord
edge plays yeah yeah i mean i have i have i have a quick a quick note right post notes for edge please man i think
you really need to work on that name and we need to work on it now right i think edge plays so far
i've been here edge please i mean it's not giving good signs right it's not it's not it's not giving
good time i think edge player right would be better Or like having an apostrophe there, just like kind of give some understanding
because edge plays, it's not good,
it's not looking good, my guy.
And it's not looking good, my guy.
So I think we need to work on being edge player
or like edge, like then there should be some
penetration there somewhere, somehow,
but just so it makes us just for
our own safety right for our own understanding because ken is too much yeah please go on
you know what they say there's nothing as uh you know bad uh publicity it's just publicity so
whatever yeah edge place is to make you remember me,
regardless of what you might think of it.
We're probably going to be changing it up real soon.
But I mean, in-game, it's just Edge.
I just put plays for Twitter, to be really honest with you.
But I also raised my hand, Marcelo, to
tell you that I actually want to, you know,
take up streaming on Solban,
and I'm going to be texting you about
Marcelo account, so thank you so much about that.
Love to hear it, man. Alright, guys.
This was great. Appreciate every single
one of you guys. I love the banter.
You see, Warlord was part of his plan.
He created that name just so you could...
I'll catch you guys in the next one.
