>>87575245I genuinely hate blacklists, don't use them, don't ask for them, etc. so I do not have good insight on this. I do know there is one /asp/ on a legitimate corpo blacklist, which is... kinda impressive, actually
>>87575381Yea, early on I basically just collabed with friends and acquaintances, but it's still gets me nervous to arrange collabs with new people now, because I like to put on a big show for a new audience and I scramble to make sure everything is gonna work right. I get the hesitance in asking, but if you're on good terms with them, go for it!
>>87575662Yes, everyone does it. Also, the higher up you go in the ladder the more a collab becomes a business move. A big streamer may have friends or randoms on for fun, but they aren't gonna go through the trouble of arranging an stream with someone they don't know unless they think you're going to provide something new and entertaining for their audience. Additionally, if they do miss with one, that person isn't going to retain the boost they'd get from the collab unless they have the skills to put on a good show themselves. If you make connections that lead to your audience growing, you are entertaining enough to deserve it.
