I scraped data between 11/6/14 - 12/6/14 as mentioned in the article, the sub train event from qt was fairly recently so outside of my date range.
The subscribers do appear in the chat, I just sat 5 minutes in trick2g's chat and took a screenshot for you: http://imgur.com/MpOJ4CD
Now we can even get more data such as how frequently they subbed. This information wasn't there in november/december.
I've also mentioned in the FAQ that there were cases where the chat would freeze or another problem would occur and I would miss some subs. These are lower bounds but I highly doubt it's also as high as you are thinking. The sub train event is an outlier not part of the norm.
* I've set an ad-block rate of 76% for viewers of a stream.
* that's a very good point, and it is not account. It was assumed that everyone gets to see an ad at the same time.
* This was estimated fairly well I think, I used the Riot Games API to figure out when a streamer's game has started. Almost every streamer run a 3 minute ad right before the game starts. So I've found how many viewers there were at that moment and then calculated the ad revenue.
after spending a decent amount of time watching these streamers and participating in the league of legends community, it seems that actually a fair amount of viewers turn off ad-block while watching their favorite streamer. I do it for example, if it means that Pobelter http://www.twitch.tv/pobelter is gonna earn a bit more money.
Yeah that's a very good point, I couldn't find any reliable source on twitch's website. I had to dig in many /r/twitch comments to find the cpm and hoped that they were telling the truth.
In any case, I am pretty sure that my numbers are really a lower bound for how much money the streamers make. Most streamers receive more donations then subscribers, and donations don't have a fixed cost.
not in any way I could think of. It's usually only shown in the video and sometimes not even then. The chat does write when someone subscribes though, that's how I managed to scrape the subscriptions.
As a subscriber, I can confirm that it does auto-renew.
Also, twitch recently added the option to share the fact that you have paid for another month (by not cancelling) [0]. Taking note of these notifications is possible and would capture some of the resubscription data.
Hey thanks a lot for the feedback!
The yellow edges represents allies (for example: Hermione-Harry). The green edges are enemies.
That's an interesting idea. As a subnetwork, we allow the viewers to click on one of the four triads and it will only display those edges. However, for T3 and T1 there are so many edges that it's still not that easy to follow :)
