A Note About Watching Livestream Recordings
Added 2024-12-17 22:34:19 +0000 UTCHey all, since I've started livestreaming (almost) every day following the death of my father, on Joystick when I have my shirt off (house cleaning, editing videos, etc) and on Twitch when I don't, a few have asked about accessing the VODs/recordings after the stream, so here's how the process is working right now:
First, please keep in mind that I still have never been able to find a video editor, social media manager, or any other "team" member to help me with the workload, so ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING involve with Topless Topics, including a whole lot of backend stuff that the public is never aware of, falls squarely onto my overly-burdened shoulders. A lot of this also can't be automated (especially when dealing with the open-source, decentralized platforms I'm forced to use to host my heinous female nipples, like TROM and Mastodon) so I have to do everything manually, which, as you can imagine, takes a LOT of time and pre-organization (I have so many spreadsheets just listing URLs and dates alone...) So please be patient as I try to keep all these plates spinning, AND somehow find the time and energy to make actual new videos on top of it all :)
I don't have a set livestream schedule other than my Fridays 12-3pm at twitch.tv/cerigotgame since my days are always changing (especially when the kids are off school for holidays or because they're sick) so I'm just "doing my best" to go live when I can during the school day, like I said on Joystick when I'm doing something topless and Twitch otherwise
Joystick subscribers, Patreon donors and Promo Squad members can participate in the streams live, and access the VODs as soon as I can get them uploaded to TROM (usually within a couple of days). To access the stream as a Patreon donor or Promo Squad member, you have to go to the Voice Chat room on our Discord server at https://www.toplesstopics.org/chat . If there was a single "free" livestreaming platform I could use that allows female nipples but ISN'T a porn site I would use it, but unfortunately until that day, my only options are sex sites like Joystick and directly to our discord server members via voice chat.
Please also keep in mind that to participate in the Topless Topics discord room, you have to first read and react to the rules in the #rules room. Just joining the server with no further action will not let you see the rest of the actual rooms. To access your Patreon donor role, look within Patreon perks on this page to find it. For Promo Squad members, you'll have to prove you've actually posted links to Topless Topics content in the #promo-squad-report room, then a mod will manually grant you the @promosquad role which gives you access to the #streaming room while I'm streaming live.
For more info on what the "Promo Squad" is, read this: https://www.toplesstopics.org/promosquad/ Essentially, it's just incentive to link to my content on YOUR OWN ORIGINAL SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS since as long as MY accounts are the ones posting it, if my account/post gets banned, then so do any likes and retweets/shares. :) So it's much, much, much, much preferred for people to make ORIGINAL posts (not just shares of existing posts) on your own pages with links to my content. Again, see the above link for more information on how to do this.
TO ACCESS RECORDED VODS:
As I said above, VODs are uploaded to the Livestream playlist on my TROM page, but are unlisted, meaning you have to have the direct URL to view it. I then have to (manually!) make a post EVERY time a new VOD is up with the video embedded here on Patreon.
For non-Joystick subs, Patreon donors, or Promo Squad members, the VODs won't be accessible until a month-ish after they've gone live. This is, again, something I have to manually do--log into TROM and change the videos from "unlisted" to "public" and add them to the livestream playlist at https://videos.trom.tf/my-library/video-playlists/r7XivuJF5fTziG5PC4UoKo . And since I've been streaming almost every day, that means also having to add changing these links to my daily Topless Topics chore list, which is already extremely lengthy and exhausting (:
I'm sorry for such a cumbersome process, but again, since the only places I can even post my heinous female nipples are porn sites and extremely obtuse opensource platforms like peertube, I'm severely limited on any kind of pre-scheduling/automated options, and therefore have to do everything manually myself.
Here's hoping that maybe someday I'll find a social media manager who won't flake out and can make enough through Patreon and Joystick subs to afford to hire one, that would free up an immense amount of time for me to make actual, high quality new videos, but I'm not holding my breath, unfortunately. (: Just gotta keep fighting to raise awareness of how insane it is that we're about to enter year 2025 yet American society continues to censor "female-looking chests" as "sexually-explicit nudity" while "male-looking chests" are allowed pretty much anywhere in public and online!
