About

Livestream Fails are a slang term for moments when streamers, who are oftentimes prominent on Twitch, make a mistake on camera. These moments have spawned a community centered in the subreddit /r/LivestreamFail. In addition to being a place to discuss mistakes made by popular streamers, the subreddit has become a prominent place where YouTube drama is discussed.

Origin

The earliest use of the term "Live Webcast Fail" on YouTube was posted January 29th, 2010 by YouTuber Roland Pelletier, reposting a 2008 video showing Brad of the 4 Player Network podcast livestreaming himself livestreaming, causing a glitch (shown below).


Spread

The term saw more use several years later, as several "Livestream Fails" were posted to YouTube in 2014. These include a video by elmolinger that gained over 900,000 views (shown below, left) and a post by OHH EpiC that gained over 53,000 views (shown below, right).

/r/LivestreamFail was started on June 7th, 2015 by Redditor ChanmanVXXIII.[1] Over the following four years, the subreddit would grow to over 509,000 subscribers and became a premiere destination to talk about drama between YouTube and Twitch streamers. As of May 24th, 2019, top posts on the subreddit include dialogue[2]between Ninja and YouTuber 51L (shown below, left) and Deadmau5 quitting Twitch[3] (shown below, right).

Ninja@Ninja 2h Talk about timing when he emot3d when Ben asked. Odds were in my favor but I guess I was wrong! Good thing epic just investigates when I question a player and not ban them immediately 144T IcyFive/51L @51LYouTube 2h I don't understand why you raged, called me an idiot and said you were going to try and get me banned. I know that you can get me banned cause of how much power you have within epic. You are the face of fortnite. 287 Ninja@Ninja 2h Epic will never ban people for no reason even if I say anything.. you assuming they do is naive. Stop playing the victim, you aren't getting banned, I am sorry Stop milking it. t 8 65
t reddit mau5 106 points 4 hours ago yeah, sorry about that guys i knew it was a fun place to connect and f--- around but im not going to stand for twitch's double standard when it comes to censoring and suspending me for harmless s---. While we've had some fun partnerships here and there, and they were a great company to work with... im gunna have to cut this one short. I dont have the capacity to deal with that kind of s---. whatever dude. the internet is just basically full of s--- for the most part.... and while what i said was generally toxic as f---, and not an ideology i hold closely to my moral standing by a f----- longshot. it was just some bottom feeding p------------ from colorodo who decided to make it news... proving once again, the online clickbaity world is a piece of f------ s--- on a good day. while it was intended to insult a f----- asshat who was being a f------ asshat.... it wasnt "directed at an entire group of people who have a sexual orientation that differs from my own" f--- off with that s---. i know who i am, and i dont have to f------ sit here and cry and defend my fuckingself with the obligatory "IM NOT THAT PERSON, I AM SORRY" reflex. If im sorry for antying, im sorry that we live in a world where bottom feeding pieces of s--- can sit there starring at a monitor, watching me play videos games, and just waiting for someone to get tilted so he can get a few f------ clicks. thats what i'm sorry for. the sane people who knew what it was in the heat of the moment knew the purpose of the statement, and the people that think otherwise, Im better off not even f------ knowing and they can just keep way the f--- clear of me.

The group has also had major threads on internet dramas such as the Projared Cheating Scandal, [4] Sweet Anita, [5] and MrDeadMoth's Domestic Violence Twitch Stream. [6]
