  Do Viewers Want a Streamer Monopoly? - Music Free Tech (1) 17.08.2026 24m

  Introducing the new Music Free Tech podcast! MFT is a new, irregularly scheduled podcast about tech and content creation. Get all the goodness at https://www.youtube.com/@musicfreetech or subscribe right here on Spotify!---Twitch's latest AI controversy has streamers looking at switching platforms but will their viewers follow? In this episode I posit that most viewers would rather stick with a single platform that bounce between platforms to find their favorite streams. In other words, viewers want a streaming monopoly.If viewers aren't leaving their favorite platform, what can creators do? Will they suck it up to stay on a platform they don't like or will they put more effort into multi-streaming?#streaming #twitch #youtube #MusicFreeTech #creators

  All Good Things Come to an End: Knowing When to Stop - Music Free Static (167) 05.08.2026 26m

  It happens to everyone. There comes a time when you're doing something and it's just time to stop. Sometimes, you need to stop because what you're doing is bad for you in some way. Other times, you need to stop because you need a refresh or because continuing is just not worth the effort.I have two of those latter things in my life. The first will affect this podcast. I love doing the podcast but after 167 episodes, I need to take a bit of a break to refresh and ensure that the podcast is doing what I want. The Skyblock series on MusicFreeGaming is another thing that I need to stop.Join me as I dive into the reasoning why one might have to stop; why 'm stopping these two different projects; and why it's okay and healthy to do so.#MentalHealth #Stopping #MusicFreeStatic💲 Ads 💲- PROTON VPN is open source and independently audited to keep your traffic private and secure! https://go.getproton.me/SH1sC

  Celebrating 250 Years of Liberty - Music Free Static (160) 17.06.2026 35m

  The United States of America turns 250 this year and for 250 years, it's been a beacon of liberty. It was exceptional at its founding and, through it's guaranteed rights, provided a place where a person could succeed no matter who their family was and without having to ask permission. America is not perfect and there are some who would ignore the "unalianable right" described in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the Constitution to further their own ambitions. Despite all that, I love America! Here's to 250 years of liberty!WARNING: I talk a bit about politics here. If that's not your jam, you may want to skip this episode.#America250 #liberty #declarationofindependence #unitedstatesofamerica
