This is exactly why we built @HeyStreamGenie. Creators are sitting on hours of original content that AI companies need for training data. The ones scraping it without consent are getting sued. The smart ones are licensing it. We process creator video and annotate it with 60+ metadata fields, and match it to buyer demand. Rights-cleared, provenance-documented, creator-owned 100% of the time always. I've spent over a year crafting the first creator first contract as an entrance to this revenue stream. The EU AI Act kicks in August with fines up to €15M for using training data without documentation. The market for licensed creator content isn't coming. It's here. I've personally made over $15K and our creators have earned over $40K. Time to build your library. Let's chat!

@sethfowIer Engineer and an influencer manager with a distribution network

SAAS owners, I've now got 1 SAAS launched that I have to continuously improve and market. I've got 3 more in the pipeline, all with ideas that genuinely don't exist yet. If you've run one successfully, what are the first roles that you'd hire for or get help for.

I have a two large tech companies that are looking to activate with creators building around the WC as well. Massive moment in the US. Can get paid to watch + get paid to make content.

@joelcompiles @StreamWithMeld Video -> licensing assets. Streams are high quality productions that typically get deleted or go unused. A massive gap we’ve been turning into aftermarket value.

what do you want to see @StreamWithMeld drop next?

@LouiseDSadeleer @OpusClip @claudeai And with a YouTube API you can grab any clip that fits your story or meme quickly and clip it short enough to meet Creative Commons and not copyright anyone. Been doing that to build up a database of people saying my company’s name

It's time to cancel your @OpusClip subscription. Use @claudeai to create 9:16 clips instead. Here's the super fast demo, while I get ready 💋

Need 40 Streamers for LoL Tourney Monday May 11th 4PM EST

@robertoblake I wish more agencies didn’t facilitate astroturfing for a check. Then again, there’s still agencies who don’t understand FTC guidelines 🤦🏽‍♂️

Most virality is NOT organic, an it hasn’t been since the 2010s. It’s manufactured, and astroturfed.

@BricksOBrian And now I understand the message I received. I was so confused.

Discord account still hacked. Time to get my mind off things by watching a bad movie.

@notcloakzy1 Legit the only conversation people have about hockey

Im learning hockey, Playoff hockey is electric how is this not talked about more

Just had an awesome call with a team putting together animated, educational videos. Over 8,800 videos, 13 languages rights owned Starting to package for training datasets as they saw the infrastructure we’ve been working on. For the past 3 months they’ve been prepping for a call I didn’t even know I was having. What a Monday start, I’m so fired up. Excited for the week ahead of building datasets and building streamers up.

@Arsnault When does it run as an ad…?

One of our larger competitors fired an employee for rapping about buying sofas from them. So... He rapped about us instead. instagram.com/reel/DXe3TlXjl…

For that budget a creator or two with paid ad usage. You partner with someone who can speak to your audience cleanly + asset to run as an ad. Meta, Apple, and Google you need quite a bit more budget to start to see impact. TikTok ads can work easily depending on your setup and strengths, better with a good TikTok account, best if you plan to not turn it off.

Hey devs, I’m ready to invest $500 in ads. Which platform is best for ROI? - Meta ads - Apple ads - Google ads - Tik Tok ads

@thatzestybestie Are you going to start ripping packs on live 👀

and if I said I wanted to start vending Pokemon cards how would I start.... bc I think it would be a blast LMAO

@Riotswimbananas This is awesome to hear and see

I’ve seen a few comments frustrated about the cosplayer/fan artist call out here. So I wanted to address it head on. It’s not that Riot doesn’t want to work with cosplayers or artists! There are just some limitations we have to consider for them that are different than other types of content creators. We are still looking at what we can do to support artists, weather that be a program, or other tools. Outside of my partner programs work, I also am the Influencer lead for Riot’s commercial partnerships/merch team, where we have been doing a lot of exploring here. First experiments here have looked like artist alley support at our events, or other non riot events like EVO and Twitchcon. Riot has been giving licenses to artists to officially use our IP and sell things with our IP. We are hoping to use these and other experiments to better understand how we can support artists in ways that actually helps their content. We believe they need different support from Riot, and that needs to be done right. It’s for sure frustrating it’s not on the same timeline. I’m personally very passionate about finding a solution for this, as I started my career focused on cosplayers (who also have these limitations) so it’s something I really want to get right. ❤️❤️ Hopefully this helps explain a bit!

@TruIyHuncho Let’s go!!! When

Weekend league stream today

Top 3 all creating and building moments with LoL. What a great thing to see. Go crazy Riot

@robertoblake Working on this for TikTok, are there markers to look at for YouTube?

Someone could probably make a fortune building a SaaS tool that prechecks whether a video or channel could get flagged by YouTube for inauthentic content… In fact, just a YouTube preflight software would probably sell extremely well 🤔 SPOILER: someone who is not me should steal this idea and build it, because I am too busy to do it… 😇

@royalwinsmid When the value amplifies the broadcast it’s a no-brainer. It’d be great if main casts adapt the expert call-in from sport broadcasts to allow for this value to leak into the main cast.

This is exactly why viewers watch Caedral over the broadcast. Insane game knowledge + Entertainment. The main broadcast always lacks one of the two.

@undertheavens Sure. But the point is that streamers outside of the league scene are bringing attention to the game. The LCS has been struggling for viewership and teams to get new fans. I’d love to see collaborations with these efforts or leading them.

@Joesott The heart of league of legends or at least NA league of legends will always be Tyler1. He carried the streaming scene on his back single handedly for like a decade, all these streamers his seeds at the end of the day, even jinxy is his seed. But he quit takin the game serious

If I’m an NA league team rn, I’m collaborating with Jynxzi. How many years have we complained that “league and LCS are dying” and “younger generations don’t care”. Well Jynxzi has a demographic that can actually shift the balance here. Streamer tourney for LoL? Great attention moment. I wish I could get involved, but I’m excited for league. LR got me back, SHYKNOCKERS made me realize community is here, Jynxzi could spike interest again.

@LCSOfficial I was hoping for more meat behind the streamers getting into League. This is a large moment for the LCS. Between Jynxzi and TheBurntPeanut there are a ton of fresh eyes for the league that haven’t been exposed to pro play. Doublelift is on TBP team for the Annihilators Cup too

Jynxzi, the savior of North American League of Legends ⚔️ The Dive driven by Kia is back with another episode! This time: Azael, Kobe, and Meteos talk the new League player experience, off-meta bans, and break down the most recent patch, available now on YouTube 🎙️

@mathewamerson Exactly! Love seeing doublelift in the At&T Annihilators Cup too on his team. Huge potential for attention.

@Joesott Burnt peanut has now stepped into league with his crew...get ready for another boost of people watching league.
