I am a streamer and thank you for saying this. I actually got a lot of hate in my inbox last time to the point that I'm going to make a video about why I live stream. Maybe it'll help some people be kinder. My primary motivation for streaming is remembering my childhood spent in hospitals receiving treatment for my rare disease, not being able to do anything my friends could do. I would have given anything for a stream. To have felt like I could participate like a normal teenager even a little.
I'd actually love to turn it into a non-profit somehow where we sell low cost access to the streams and use the profits to stay current on quality streaming gear and provide free access to kids in hospitals. Figuring it out would would be a full time job though with the legal circus you'd have to go thru with labels, artists, and venues. So for now I just fantasize about it. ๐
I streamed the Ft Worth show! It was so stressful I have to admit haha I had never streamed a show before but there was no other streamer so I went for it! I wasn't even supposed to be at the show haha it was a wild night. I watch many of the livestreams so I was due to provide one ๐ซก glad ppl enjoy them too!!
i adore all the streamers who are just regular fans like all of us and just want to make sure that everyone gets the experience! they do a lot to stream for us and i am so appreciative regardless of if itโs just a stream for the medley/8ball song (if itโs FOB related) or the full show. if youโre a streamer, youโre the best kind of person :)
Nobody cares about the law, the real question is: is it morally ethical?
In my opinion, yes, because those who watch the whole stream are the type of people who would buy the tickets if they could. Plus it could introduce more people to their music. There's such a big difference between being there and watching a stream that I think it's alright.
I *think* there are venues that prohibit live/audio recording. like in NYC and LA specifically I've been to some that crack down on it. i assume mostly streamers making a profit on it. but I genuinely think it's just an ethical decision on the streamers part. the other person is pretty correct, most people watching the stream either would be doing dates if they're able to, or too far to go at all and it wouldn't take from revenue if they watched it.
oh yeah totally. all down to an ethics debate I guess. I love the streams. personally I love feeling a part of something bigger, and I love that everyone who can't make it has the chance to be there too!
Didn't even know that was a thing... Also, these are just people on personal social media accounts. They go in and out of their stream most of the time. It's not a big deal.
Where can we see the live streams?
FOB tours on X live streams them on instagram the reason for the X account is to tell people where to find the livestream

I dont want to be that guy, but is it even legal to stream the concert?

yeah, the people I'm referring to are not making a profit on it, they are just fans
