I’ve been pumping out a bunch of threads over on Twitter lately in response to what I call the TERF wizard blood libel game (Hogwarts Legacy). It’s just been exhausting dealing with people in the VTuber scene who only care about people not being mean and not that trans and Jewish people are being thrown under the bus by big streamers so they can play that fucking game. And I’m just an outsider advocating for my friends because I care about them, I can only imagine how exhausted they must be from this shit constantly happening, to have people you looked up to and thought cared about your community treat you as the problem because they can’t play a game without backlash.
It finally reached a point today where trying to watch FalseEyeD’s coverage I just got sick of it. Sick of the handholding and reverence given to corporate VTubers while marginalized creators have had to ordeal far worse treatment. Silvervale gets a few days’ worth of harassment and throws a pity party for herself on stream, meanwhile I’ve had friends who’ve had to deal with much worse harassment on a regular basis for just existing. And aside from Froot opening up about her trans brother and wanting to donate to charity, I haven’t seen any corporate VTubers stand up for either the trans or Jewish communities, it’s been radio silence while they either play the game in spite of them or just say nothing about it. It’s not surprising because corporations like VTuber agencies are fucking cowards, but it finally hit me just how disgustingly obsessed fans are over corporate employees and will fight to defend them more than marginalized creators.
I started unfollowing every corporate account I could after this. Not for any kind of clout, but more just for my own sake. No matter how nice or talented the creator may be, I just can’t take their garbage simping fans who consume uncritically and then get mad at marginalized people standing up for themselves. The best friends I’ve made in this scene have been independent creators who have been neurodivergent, non-white, LGBTQ+, or some mix of the three, and I’d rather focus on them than give any more of my time or energy to the popular kids who cry about getting mean comments or refuse to even make a stand and use their platform to advocate.
Funny thing is I used to worry about being blacklisted by those big name streamers for being outspoken and using my platform to advocate for people, but now I’m at the point that I don’t care if I do. My advocacy for my friends and others in need of allies has always been more fulfilling than wanting to please people who have shown to be shitheels once their streams end and mics are off.

the sky is falling
Apparently...
I have been a fan of LOKI since he first appeared on screen. I will admit that I did not seek out other fans on social media until after The Dark World. Mostly because I had a lot of other things going on in my life.
I distinctly remember being filled with hope that LOKI would appear in Age of Ultron, and being filled with hope that Ragnarok would magically resolve everything between LOKI and his family. I remember being disappointed about both. I remember having renewed hope that Infinity War or Endgame would somehow make up for those disappointments, only to be further let down by the kind of mediocre writing that is typical of blockbuster movies. That is a disappointment that many of us have shared, and even bonded over.
And I was so relieved to have a fandom where I could share my disappointment. I was happy to critically analyze what had been problematic about LOKI's story so far, even if most of it was due to poor/inconsistent writing as opposed to a conscious decision on anyone's part (minus Ragnarok, probably, but I digress). I was happy to have a place where I could write meta about problematic themes in fictional media and how they might negatively affect those who digest them.
When I found out the LOKI show was happening, I felt the same lurch in my gut that I'm sure you all felt. Will it suck? Will it just be another cash grab, using Tom Hiddleston as a lure? Even the trailers I was seeing in the months beforehand did nothing to quell my fears. The trailers were carefully edited for the sole purpose of gaining viewers for the show. Which is an almost laughable notion, since people would probably have watched it anyway. But I was still apprehensive, right up until the last minute.
Then, I watched episode one.
And I immediately realized a few things.
The first is that what we are seeing, now, is as close to 100% Tom-Hiddleston-approved as ANYTHING we have seen on screen so far. 
Take a minute to let that soak in. What we are seeing is how Tom sees LOKI. It isn't the product of someone else's editing, or someone else's vision. This isn’t a product of LOKI being a side character who they simply don’t have time to develop. This is a show about LOKI.
The second thing I realized is that this show is almost like an AU story that exists separately from everything else. So, LOKI isn't going to be exactly like any other specific version we have seen before. And that's totally fine. Because he has never been in this situation before, we have no idea how he would behave under these circumstances. It is uncharted territory.
Now, I realize that not everyone in the fandom has written fiction, or knows what it's like to construct a long narrative. I can personally attest to throwing in an occasional plot device that made slightly less sense than I would like, simply to put the story where I wanted it to be. I can also attest to completely disregarding minor aspects of canon that would have rendered my story pointless or required me to write an additional 5 chapters, simply to explain them away. That is writing, folks.
What I DO know is that we have only seen episode 1. We don't know what the big picture is yet. And I can tell you that if I had written a story and planned the whole thing out and, after posting chapter 1, people had posted giant rants about how everything I'd done so far was wrong, I would be extremely concerned about the mental health of those people. And I would hope that they would stop reading my story and go find something else to do.
From a purely scientific perspective, we don’t have enough information to draw a conclusion. And yet, I have been inundated with Chicken Little posts about how the sky is falling. I am practically getting whiplash from scrambling to unfollow these people.
This show is not going to be perfect.
There are going to be things about it that you don't like.
It is totally okay not to like the show, or to simply dislike things about it. But PLEASE PLEASE acknowledge that you not liking something does not equate to it being problematic. It doesn't even equate to an objective measurement of the show's value. It just means that YOU don't like it. I feel like a lot of LOKI fans have an image in their heads of who they think LOKI is and they feel so strongly about it, that they would assert their headcanon as being more in character than whatever Tom Hiddleston might choose to do with LOKI. And frankly, that is very sad. It also means that those people will always be disappointed, because you have zero control over what Tom chooses to do with his character.
I think that after so much continued disappointment, many LOKI fans have learned to seek their dopamine reward from criticizing LOKI content, as opposed to actually enjoying it. Because, frankly, that affords them more control over the outcome. If we go into a situation assuming it will be bad, and it turns out to be bad, we get to pat ourselves on the back for our genius. If we go into it hoping that it will be good and it ends up being bad, then we have to cope with that negative feeling. And no one wants to feel disappointed over and over again.
And I’ve realized that all the time I spent ranting about what I didn’t like about the MCU has not been good for me, mentally. It is not healthy to dwell on negative things, unless that dwelling is somehow productive. And this hasn’t been productive. It hasn’t led to anything but more ranting and whining.
I am choosing to have an open mind, not because I think that everything is going to be wonderful, but because it is the most mentally healthy thing for me to do.
I am GRATEFUL to have this show. 
Even if it ends up being less than awesome, I am still grateful to have a show that is all about LOKI, that gives us lots of Tom being LOKI on screen without anyone trying to steal the mic from him. I want to do my best to enjoy it. And so far, I am enjoying it.
And if, when the show is all over, I realize that it contained some genuinely problematic scenes or themes, I will explore those OBJECTIVELY. I will analyze them CRITICALLY.
But we're NOT there yet.

Chapter 19
Tumblr media
Grand Masterlist
Series Masterlist
I’m sorry that this is posted a little late today! Lmao I’ve just been super busy with a lot of shit going on. I’ll keep trying to post up more chapters for y’all! I hope you guys enjoy chapter 19! I was gonna put the music video that Johann did of “Treat You Better” in this chapter, but I don’t want to give him more exposure and tag his shit in my story LMAO oops
Previous Chapter
~1 Week Later~
Joel’s P.O.V.
“Hola cncowners!” I smiled at my phone screen as more and more people started pouring in, watching my live stream. I had my laptop next to me playing some music while I waited a few moments, letting everyone get settled in. “How are you guys?” I asked and reached for my bottled water I had off to the side. I took a sip and started reading the comments of what everyone was saying.
“Uh I’m good. I’m just hanging out here in the hotel with Richard, but he’s currently FaceTiming Aaliyah right now.” I chuckled and switched the camera so it showed him holding his phone up to his face and smiling at his baby girl.
I turned the camera back to me and read the next following questions. “The rest of the boys are in their rooms probably sleeping or something, I don’t know.” I laughed. “I just wanted to check up on you guys and see how you’re doing.” I cleared my throat and continued reading the comments that popped up on my screen.
“Um.. ‘Mexico misses you! Please come back soon’. We miss you too! I love getting to travel and seeing new faces everywhere I go.” I smiled as more questions were being asked and I began answering them as much as I can. I turned my attention back to my laptop when a song ended and I looked for another video to play. “Hey, do you guys have any song recommendations? Any songs you wanna listen to?” I asked as I had looked back at my phone screen.
So many song titles came through and I waited until I kept seeing a repeat. I saw a few that told me to react to music videos and whatnot, but I played their songs and answered their questions while Richard was laughing at what his daughter was doing on the other line. “Okay you guys. I gotta head to bed really soon, so I’ll play one more song for you guys and then I’m off.” I smiled.
My good mood slowly went out the window as I saw Johann’s name pop up on my YouTube page with a new video that had been posted recently. I was going to scroll past it until I saw someone who looks very familiar on the cover. I sat there in shock, not quite sure if what I was seeing is true. “Uh actually.. I see something on here that caught my attention. I can stay for one more song after this one. Let me just..”
It’s peaked my curiosity though and I can’t help but wonder what he put out. I clicked on the video and was met with her beautiful face on my laptop screen. I felt my breath get stuck in the back of my throat for a few seconds as I heard Johann’s voice start singing to my girl..
“Huh…” It’s like all the butterflies in my stomach had just died watching his hands on her waist.. his face buried in her hair.. her smile. This doesn’t just mentally hurt, this physically hurts. “Treat You Better.. this is uh..” I cleared my throat and continued to watch Johann hold her close to him. I bit my lip and slowly brought my head down. I don’t know if I can continue watching this.
The way he looked at her made my blood boil and I wished that it was me instead of him. It’s been a few months, but I didn’t really think she would… I thought maybe we can… why does my heart hurt so much?
“Alrights, mamas, papá has to get going. I love you!” I looked up at Richard blow a kiss and say goodnight before turning his attention back to me, smiling. He placed his phone inside his front pocket and sat on the bed next to me. “What are you doing?” He asked as he looked at the video playing on my laptop. “I’m just.. I’m.. watching a music video and doing a live..”
He went silent for a few moments as he looked at who was on my screen. “Hey.. isn’t that – ”
“Yeah.” I cut him off and looked away from my laptop as Johann leaned down close to her face, indicating that there must’ve been a kiss at the end. I cleared my throat and exited out that video. “Okay uh.. one last song before I head to bed. How about we let Richard pick out what we listen to next, yeah?” I pushed my laptop closer to him as I looked down at the comments.
“Hola.” Rich spoke and waved at the camera as the cncowners greeted him. He typed in one of our songs and let it play for everyone to hear. I could feel him staring at me from the corner of my eye as I tried to not think about what I just saw. Richard pretty much took over as he started reading an answering questions they were asking as I got up and walked to the other side of the room.
“I’ll be right back. I’m gonna head to the bathroom real quick.” I spoke as I turned my back towards him and walked into the restroom, closing the door behind me. I’m just reminded of the fact that I can’t talk to her and now she’s in his arms. Then again, this could just be acting and nothing more, but it still doesn’t stop the hurt I feel in my chest. He’s rubbing this in my face, I know he is. Why else would he have picked her and sing that song?
I have to find a way to get the ball back in my court without damaging more relationships and my career that I’ve worked so hard to get where I am. Should I even attempt to fight for her back? I know you shouldn’t give up on people you love, but I don’t know if she loves me anymore. Is it worth the fight?
I walked out of the bathroom as I realized the song was just about finished. “Okay you guys.. it was nice getting to talk to you all, pero necesitamos dormir.” Richard spoke as he saw me walk back out of the bathroom and walk towards him. I put on a smile and waved goodbye. “Buenas noches.” I turned off the live and grabbed my phone, tossing it onto the bed carelessly without another thought.
“Bro – ”
“No.. you know what? This is what I get. I don’t deserve to feel the way I do because I did this. I just wish..” I bit my lip and shook my head, ripping open the blankets as I lied down. “I think I’m just gonna sleep on it…” I heard him sigh and walk around, but was shocked when he sat on the edge of my bed. “She’s moving on..” I softly spoke and brought the blanket close to my face. “With him..” He stayed silent for a few moments before speaking up.
“You still love her?” He asked. “What kind of question is that? Of course I do.” I spoke and gripped onto my blanket. “Do you want that second chance?” His eyebrows scrunched together as my body turned towards him. “Yeah..” I said, looking up at him. “Dude, what are you – ”
“Just answer the damn questions.”
“Why? What difference does it make?”
“’Cause I’m willing to help you pendejo, but only if it means that much to you. Now answer the fucking questions. Do you or do you not want that second chance?”
“Well of course I do!”
“You want to try again?”
“Yeah, but she won’t – ”
“Are you gonna give up on her?”
“No! No, I don’t want to. But Johann said – ” I sat up he kept going. “You want to be able to continue where you left off and grow together as a couple?” The tone of his voice grew a little louder as I became irritated and answered him back.
“Yes! Yes, okay!” I exclaimed and slowly brought my head down, angry at myself. “… But I can’t. I want.. I want to be able to do all of that and more without anything else getting in the way. I want to start over.” He slowly nodded and held up his hands as in question.
“Okay… so the question is, what are you gonna do about it and what do you need me to do to help you?”
~~
‘Why did the color drain from Joel’s face when he saw Johann’s new music video on his live a few days ago??’
‘Joel looked so sad at the end of his live recently :( are you okay bb? We love you! x’
‘Is anyone else gonna ignore the fact that Joel unfollowed Johann or…?’
‘Does that girl in Johann’s video mean anything to him or something? Was it the song he didn’t like? He looked so upset but didn’t say much about it’
‘I thought the video was good, I don’t know why he got quiet the way he did’
I shouldn’t have watched that during my live a few days ago ‘cause now the fans are asking why my mood changed right after. I haven’t addressed any of them and just continued like nothing happened.
“Alright, this song is fire because it’s telling your girl, or telling that one person ‘I don’t wanna keep fighting’, you know? ‘I don’t wanna keep bugging about things that happened before, let’s just start from zero. Get to know each other again.’” Richard spoke as the rest of us all sat around holding microphones in our hands, getting ready to perform.
“Well, we’re coming out with our new EP that we wrote like maybe 85% of it and we’re really really excited for the people to listen to it. Just going around and spreading our music and hopefully go around the country.” Chris smiled as he looked directly into the camera and cleared his throat. Now it’s time to introduce ourselves..
“Hola, soy Erick.”
“I’m Christopher.”
“I’m Joel.”
“I’m Richard.”
“Yo soy Zabdiel y nosotros somos – ”
“CNCO.”
“Y bueno este es nuestro más reciente sencillo, De Cero.” Zabdiel spoke as he started to strum his guitar. Music is a powerful weapon and can be used in any way you want. A love song to somebody? You got it. Breaking up and moving on? You’ll find one. Going out with friends and partying the night away? Pretty easy to find. Wanting to start over with someone you love? That’s promising..

youtube
“Niña, tanto tiempo
¿Qué estás haciendo?
¿Qué es de tu vida?
Dicen que estás sufriendo
Creo que tengo
Una salida”
I’m talking to her through the lyrics without mentioning her name. This is my apology and it’s the only way I can talk about it in public without Johann spilling the beans. I frowned as I brought the mic up to my lips, continuing the next verse.
“Cuando dejemos el orgullo
Y las barreras entre tú y yo
Soltamos lo malo
Nos inventamos un atardecer
Sin mente yo me entregaré
El pasado olvidamos”
I pictured her face and thought about her listening to us perform this song. I wonder if she would even listen to this and know that I’m sorry? I’m singing this for you, (Y/N)..
“Y de cero empezamos
Otro chance nos damos los dos
Mejor dejemos la estupidez (Oh)
Que el amor llega solo una vez
De cero empezamos
Otro chance nos damos tú y yo
Mejor dejemos la estupidez
Que el amor llega solo una vez”
I never thought I would relate so much to a song as I do now. I don’t want to give up on the possibility that we can make us work, but considering the way things are right now, I don’t think she’ll even give me the time of day.
Erick started to sing his next part as I thought about what I’ll do if she were to take me back. I’ll definitely work harder to make sure she feels loved and not a second choice ever again, that’s for damn sure. Have I even considered the possibility that she would just tell me to leave and never see her again? Yes.. yes, I’ve thought about that.
I heard Christopher’s voce start singing and knew my part was almost here. If I can’t have her, I at least want someone who will treat her like I should’ve done. Someone who will give her all the love she deserves and never make her second guess herself. Someone who will make time for her, make her happy and never break her heart. If it’s not me, it’s definitely not Johann. I need to know that she’ll be in good hands if I don’t get a second chance.
“Can we accept all of our differences
And put aside all of the pettiness
Just forget, no regret
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I got so much I want to show
Let's restart and we'll go far”
I guess I got so caught up with the cncowners shipping me with Emilia so much that I started to believe that there was something between us. I became nervous whenever I was around her and felt butterflies in my stomach, but nothing compared to the feeling I had whenever I was with (Y/N).
I never knew I could feel like this. Listen to my heart, (Y/N). Can you hear it sing? Please come back to me and forgive everything..
I can’t get that image out of my head. Johann’s hands resting on her waist… his lips just inches away from hers. She’s been seeing him more and more since I left and is getting comfortable around him. My mind became all discombobulated after that video and my heart literally ached at the thought of her falling for someone new.. someone like Johann.
Before I knew it, the song was over and we were free to get up and walk around. “Thank you for doing this for us. You guys were amazing!”
“Thank you for having us.” Richard smiled and shook hands with the video producer. I stood up and stretched, craning my neck back and forth. “We’ll have this video up soon and notify you guys when it’s posted.”
I zoned out the conversations around me as I thought about Richard’s words he said to me that night.
“What are you going to do about it?”
That’s a good question. A very good question indeed..

Ok, This is probably going to get some hate or just flop but...
Dear BNHA/MHA Fandom,
You are toxic af and here's my advice on how you should fix it.
People like to say your fandom is toxic because of the shippers, now I agree with that but the toxic part aren't the ships it's that y'all are always passing the blame on who made it toxic.
I like to think there are 4 types of people/shippers in the fandom.
Starting with the most hated ones the pedophilic/abusive ships. Ok first off I personally don't support this and I think it's kinda gross, but there is no need to aggressively point it out. Because everytime one of you people who don't support it come across it you guys just have to reblog it to show your hate. It doesn't matter that it's gross or you don't support it these creators took time to make fan art or write fanfics of them. If they like it let it be as long as they don't hurt anybody cause at the end of the day they're fictional, drawings on a piece of paper. Also everytime you show hate your just making more people see it youre better off letting it roam in the dark corners of the fandom cause it happens in every fandom. In all honesty they're not the toxic ones the toxic ones are the ones who spread it and bring attention to them it's like purposely making everyone know there's weird/toxic people in the fandom. So just let them be.
Next are the casual shippers and multishippers, which is like Deku x Toga, Denki x Shinsou, Tokoyami x Tsuyu, Aizawa x President Mic, Hawks x I don't even know anymore, etc. (Sorry I couldn't name all of them but I'm generally talking about all the ships that isn't TodoDeku and Bakudeku or student x teacher) Ok I have to apologize to you guys because you guys are great. I love you guys I may not agree with all of your ships but you guys are wholesome. In all honesty you guys are the reason I stay in this fandom. You guys get a lot of hate from the 'normies' and I'm sorry about that.
Next up probably the most toxic of them all the Deku shippers. This consists of all of y'all who fight over Tododeku or Bakudeku, this is such a big group that a lot of them are really nice people and I'm talking to the toxic ones but some y'all need to tone it down. You guys will quite literally unfollow and spread hate of someone just cause you don't ship the same. Some of you guys just need to stop cause you are the ones who bring up all the toxic stuff. You fight, you hate, then you act like little angels and the people who ship something different are the 'toxic' ones. You both are and you need to work it out become a multishipper. Just please stop fighting for once in your life and accept that not everybody agrees with you.
Then the 'normies', no offense but I hate y'all. You are the people who watch anime for plot and ship canon stuff like Deku x Uraraka. There's nothing wrong with that but you have to rub it in every single time. You guys won't shut up about just enjoying the anime and shipping is gross and I'm so much better than them. You guys also think Yagami Yato and stuff is gross and illegal despite watching porn and hentai. I just hope you guys know that by hating on shippers and rubbing in that you watch anime normally and you like canon you're being toxic too. Cause you guys are also the ones who keep bringing it up like the "MHA fandom is so toxic". I do not like you guys and I hope you learn to shut up someday.
If you did read this far thank you I just needed to rant after some normies attacked me for shipping. Also I'm not sorry to anyone I have offended.

How The Weather Channel Does Social Media
Jennifer Watson began her career as an on-camera meteorologist in Mississippi and Alabama, where she also helped manage both stations’ social media channels and weather blogs. Taking a job as a social media specialist with Atlanta-based The Weather Channel was a natural transition for her. “The Weather Channel is a dream job for a weather nerd like me,” says Watson.
CCO: How do you manage the amount and variety of information you curate every day?
Watson: At The Weather Channel, our main goal is to provide weather information to help our fans plan their day and stay safe during severe weather. One of the most critical responsibilities of my job is during severe weather outbreaks; we use Twitter to break down storm information to our followers, making sure people have the information they need to keep themselves and their families safe. We have meteorologists on the social media team to ensure that we’re always posting accurate information.
.@weatherchannel has meteorologists on #socialmedia team to ensure accuracy, says @JWatson_Wx. Click To Tweet
In addition to breaking weather information, we also post about a lot of other weather verticals, such as wildfires or drought. Weather impacts every part of your life, whether you realize it or not. It even affects the economy and what you purchase. A lot of our meteorologists are big space geeks, so we also post information about satellite launches, different astronomical events, etc. We are excited and looking forward to this year’s total solar eclipse.

CCO: There must be risks related to reporting breaking weather news via social media.
Watson: We want to make sure people have a way to get real-time information if they can’t see it on TV. Social media is a great vehicle to disseminate this information but there are definitely challenges.
Facebook isn’t ideal for breaking information because information is served up to users based on habits and preferences. Twitter, however, allows us to push out alerts as they are issued and we are able to update forecasts in real time. If we’re following tornadoes in Louisiana or Mississippi, for example, we have automated location-based alerts that go out.

My role requires long hours to be sure everything is quality-checked and to ensure that we are getting people the information they need to stay safe. With weather reporting, social media coverage is a 24/7 job; it never ends. I’m always monitoring. I don’t want to miss anything.

CCO: What about fast-moving systems in which you’re not sure of the accuracy of the information you see online? What type of guidelines do you follow to ensure that you’re sharing good content?
Watson: It’s important for all of us at The Weather Channel to post the most accurate information online and on social channels. To ensure that the correct information is being posted, we have guidelines in place and we always have a meteorologist on duty to review posts before they are published if needed. We have a lot of checks and balances to make sure everything we post is timely and accurate.
This is important during and after severe weather outbreaks, when people sometimes post old images of catastrophic damage to get attention. Same with snowfall totals. You might see a picture on Twitter from a snowstorm three years ago. Before we republish anything, we check photos through Google reverse image search to make sure they haven’t been seen anywhere. We are not perfect. If we retweet something that’s inaccurate, we will correct that immediately. When reporting weather, we are always balancing accuracy with speed – because sometimes speed can be lifesaving.
CCO: What tools do you use to manage all the content?
Watson: We use a combination of native and marketing platforms for our social publishing, analytics, and reporting needs. The combination of the two helps us manage multiple people and projects, especially the increased social volume during live weather events, when conditions and data are constantly changing.
Since last year we’ve had a big push to use Facebook Live. One of the ways we pull it off is by using live-streaming software called Wirecast, which lets us combine live footage from the studio as well as the field. We especially like to use Facebook Live in the field, where our on-camera meteorologists can give an update on what the conditions are like in a specific location during weather events.
When we are out in the field we have a special rig setup for mobile phones, which gives you a steadier exposure. We also use a shotgun mic if needed, so if one of our meteorologists is out covering a hurricane, we can focus on the sound coming from them rather than the storm. And lighting is critical – it can make a huge difference in the quality of your content and how many viewers you get. All these tools help us share information in a way people can understand, especially when time is of the essence.
The live-streaming hardware lets them capture video using multiple webcams, graphics, and more. It also offers better options for screen transitions.
The team uses special mobile-phone rigs to pump up the quality of videos outside of the studio. Phone rigs such as the Beastgrip Pro or Shoulderpod let you attach a smartphone, lights, and microphones in one easy-to-grip package.
Tips on live-streaming
Watson suggests the following tips for building an audience and generating engagement using Facebook Live:
Teaser posts: A great way to drive traction to your Facebook Live streams is to publish a teaser post to let your fans know that you will be live-streaming. You can also use the prescheduling feature on Facebook, which creates a teaser for you. Keep in mind, people tune in at different times, so it’s always good practice to do a reset and welcome new viewers a couple times during each Facebook Live.
Publish a teaser post on @Facebook to let your fans know that you will be live-streaming, says @JWatson_Wx. Click To Tweet
Live notifications: During the live stream and at the end, remind people they can subscribe to receive notifications each time your page is live, which helps build your audience. Also, remember to alert your fans that if they don’t want to receive live notifications, they can unsubscribe, which prevents people from unfollowing your page.
.@Facebook Live tip: Remind people to subscribe to notifications when you go live, says @JWatson_Wx. Click To Tweet
Focus: We publish a variety of content using Facebook Live, but what tends to do best for our brand are live streams and reports from the field during big weather events. We saw our best Facebook Live performance to date during Hurricane Hermine, which impacted Florida and parts of the Southeast in September of 2016. We had a live stream from Cedar Key, Fla., showing the high waves and water only a few hours before landfall. It garnered more than 3 million views, was shared over 42,000 times, and exceeded 23,000 comments.
The best advice I can give to any brand is to stay true to your brand values and to keep in mind you may have to test different content out first to determine what works best.
