Conclusion
reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail
Fans love watching their favorite streamers on streaming platforms like YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, and Facebook. If you're on one of these platforms and enjoy gaming, it's likely that you are also known as a streamer by those who frequent those sites.
Live streaming is so epic because everything happens in real-time. The creators don't have time to manipulate anything, and so in case they end up doing something weird, the fans latch onto that. There's a specific term dedicated to people fudging up on live streaming, and it's called LiveStreamFail. And so naturally, Reddit became the platform where a subreddit called LiveStreamFail 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.
We will be reviewing one of the most popular subreddits, r/LiveStreamFails. This subreddit contains some of the funniest, weirdest, and most bizarre content.
My recent experience on LiveStreamFail
I recently upvoted the latest twitch update on this subreddit. According to the post, twitch updated their community guidelines to stop live rerun Valorant VODs occurring. Viewers applauded this move as they felt it was for the greater good. They were keen to learn about Valorant's real viewership and are expecting them to plummet a lot.
About LiveStreamFail - Community & Members
Reddit's r/LiveStreamFail community is one of the most popular on the site. Here, you will find all the latest livestream-related content, as well as mishaps, outbursts, rant, and any other unfortunate event. Almost all the content on this subreddit is sourced from Twitch. There are over 800,000 members on this page at any given time, and 10-20k of them are always active. r/LiveStreamFail began its journey on Reddit on June 7th, 2015 and has since grown to have over 200,000 members every year.
How to access LiveStreamFail?
If you're already a Reddit member, you can simply type "r/LiveStreamFail" in your search bar and follow the subreddit. On the contrary, 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 community with over 800,000 subscribers. Although it's not as popular as some of the other video-based communities, it still deserves to be classified as a major subreddit. As of writing this review, there are ten moderators on LiveStreamFail - ChanmanVXXIII, HalfOfAKebab, ImNATT, livestreamfailmods, livestreamfailsbot, Good_Guy_Dev, Ocypodelol, Jisifus, and stunt_pilot. They are responsible for ensuring that all the posts on the subreddit comply with the content guidelines and that none of them violate any laws or regulations.
Why should you follow LiveStreamFail?
This subreddit is constantly flooded with content. If you spend half an hour browsing it every day, you'll never run out of posts. On any given day, the top post on r/LiveStreamerFail gets 8,000-10,000 upvotes within 24 hours. Prepare yourself for a feed full of IRL content (Drama, Cringe, and funny moments from live streamers on Twitch), as well as recent news that Alinity - a Twitch streamer who has been getting a lot of attention for controversial videos - was banned.
Community Engagement
LiveStreamFail is an active community with a lot of interaction. If you counted up the cumulative upvotes on each of the posts, the number would easily surpass 500,000. The main reason why it has so much interaction is because of the comments and shares. Each post attracts between 30-70 comments - far greater than many subreds with over a million members.
Impact on the audience
A special point I want to make in this video is that LiveStreamFail is not for everyone. The page is notorious and has a negative side too. It doesn't just affect the fans but the streamers as well. Stream viewers love controversy and drama concerning Mixer and Twitch stars. So, if any streamer is having a bad day, this subreddit would aggravate it by rubbing salt on the wounds. And trust me, streamers aren'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
Although posts may not receive enough recommendations, if you are well-liked in any threads, you may collect gold. The popular threads on this subreddit tend to have a rabid fanbase, and LiveStreamFail is certainly one of them.
Filter by flair
After reviewing a few pages of content, I was happy to find this filter option on r/LiveStreamFail. Towards the right section, under Community information, you'll find ten options - CODE 238242?, WHOLESOME?, IRL?, ARIS?, DR. DISRESPECT?, SUMMIT?, xQc?, DRAAMA?, and WIN.? 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 r/LiveStreamFail Drama posts.

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 there are 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. Above this, you have the "Subreddits" section which displays all of the subscribed subreddits for this particular subreddit. The "Submit a Post" button is located next to the "Subreddits" section.
