Conclusion
reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail
Since the 2010s, streaming has become a more popular way to watch videos online. This is because streamers are able to connect with their fans more easily than ever before. If you're subscribed to YouTube and like gaming, it's likely that you would be associated with streamers on other platforms as well.
Live streaming is so epic because everything happens in real-time. The creators don't have time to manipulate anything, and so if they end up doing something weird, the fans latch on to that. There is a specific term dedicated to people fudging up on live streaming, and that's called LiveStreamFail. And so naturally, Reddit became the platform where a subreddit by this name was created. LiveStreamFail aims to capture unfortunate streaming moments that are hilarious, wacky, weird, emotional, and at the same time lunatic. Like memes, LSF is a culture in itself.
Today we are going to be reviewing one of the most popular subreddits â r/LiveStreamFails. You will find the funniest, weirdest and most bizarre content on r/LiveStreamFails.
My recent experience on LiveStreamFail
I recently upvoted the latest twitch update on this subreddit. Apparently, a lot of people have been unhappy about the creators playing back their VODs to attract a larger audience. According to the post, I read, Twitch updated their community guidelines to stop live reruns of Valorant's VODs occurring. Viewers applauded this move as they felt it was for the greater good. They were keen to learn more about Valorant's real viewership and were expecting them to plummet a lot.

On r/LiveStreamFail, you will find all the trending Livestream related content. This content includes mishaps, outbursts, rant, and any other unfortunate event. Almost all the content on this subreddit is sourced from Twitch. There are more than 800,000 members on this page, and at any given time, 10-20k of them are active. LiveStreamFail started its journey on Reddit on June 7th, 2015 and has been growing steadily since then.
How to access LiveStreamFail?
If you're already a Reddit user, you can simply type "r/LiveStreamFail" into your search bar and follow the subreddit. On the other hand, if you're new to the platform, get started by signing up and verifying your email address. Once you're done, you'll be able to follow subreddits, comment on posts, and even post anything on any of the subreddits.
Moderators of LiveStreamFail
LiveStreamFail is a large, active community. Sure, it's not as huge as some of the other video-based communities, such as r/videos and r/MovieDetails. However, 800,000 is not a small number, and thus, it's only fair to classify them as a major subreddit. Since there are hundreds and thousands of posts updated every day, it's important for mods to keep track of the content and make sure that none of the posts are violating the content guidelines in any way. At the time of writing this review, there are ten mods on r/LiveStreamFail - ChanmanVXXIII, HalfOfAKebab, ImNATT, livestreamfailmods, livestreamfailsbot, Good_Guy_Dev, Ocypodelol, Jisifus, stunt_pilot, and Isflairbot.
Why should you follow LiveStreamFail?
Every day, tons of content is posted on this subreddit. If you spend half an hour every day on this subreddit, you won't run out of posts. Recently, Alinity - a Twitch streamer who has been attracting a lot of attention because of controversial videos - was banned. This means that your feed will be filled with IRL content, Drama, Cringe, and funny moments from live streamers on twitch.
Community Engagement
The LiveStreamFail community is very active. The amount of interaction that takes place on this subreddit is crazy. If you counted the cumulative upvotes on each of the posts, the number would easily surpass 500,000. It's not just the upvotes that make it special but the comments and shares as well. Each post attracts between 30-70 comments - far greater than many sub redds with over a million members.
Impact on the audience
LiveStreamFail is not for everyone. The page is notorious and thus has a negative side too. Some streamers have found that it makes their day worse, as it often amplifies any negative feelings they may have and doesn't provide any support. Viewers love controversy and drama concerning Mixer and Twitch stars, so in case any streamer is having a bad day, this subreddit would aggravate it by rubbing salt on the wounds. And trust me, streamers ain't Keanu Reeves, so nobody is coming to their rescue. It's highly likely that this subreddit will help shape up your bias for certain creators and turn you against some if you follow the bandwagon effect.
Reddit Gold
It seems that posts on this subreddit don't receive a lot of recommendations. However, if you have a dank presence and know how to work the threads, you may be able to amass gold from this subreddit. The popular threads on this subreddit are those that have a fanatical following. LiveStreamFail is definitely one of these.
Filter by flair
After reviewing a few pages with no filter by flair, I found this option on r/LiveStreamFail- under Community information, you'll find ten options- CODE 238242?, ?Wholesome,? ?IRL,? ?Aris,? ?Dr. Disrespect?, ?Summit,? ?xQc,? ?Drama,? ?Win,? and ?OfflineTV.? Using these filters you can check content based upon your preference. For instance if you just want a post relating to Drama you can choose that option and your feed will be filled with posts related to r/LiveStreamFail Drama.

Design-wise, r/LiveStreamFail is as basic as r/entertainment and r/scifi. However, it does have an amazing channel cover with purple background and text that calls out the subreddit's title i.e., LiveStreamFail. The "Join" button is towards the far right corner, primarily because the title is too long. In the header section, you have four categories - "Posts", "Discord", "Twitter", and "Website." You can click on any of these options to navigate to the particular platform. Under these options, there's the "Create Post" section followed by sorting features.
