his extension had no possible way to make money besides SELLING reconmended channels, meaning any company could pay big $$$ for that top spot and fuck over small creators even more, this dudes extension is garbage, also it wont keep the youtube video open if you change page or reload so its litterally useless. it would be better as an open source to allow user upgradability and keep big business out of it.
yes it is a good idea, but the only way to get money was probably donations but other than that it seems like he is on the right path to becoming a web/software dev at least
Dude this is great! You guys should make a series out of this! Its incredible how much you can help young startups. This is a very nice way of giving back to the gaming community. Keep up the great work reckful!
I can imagine in the future that there will be more streamers moving to other platforms like mixer, and we'd need an extension to categorize who the top streamers in each category are, I can see some use in that aspect.
@@somMelon But why would you go to the extension, I can get the same from youtube, it even let's me watch the video with the browser minimized and why would I need an extension to watch the last video of a channel, I can press the bell in a channel I'm subscribed to and see the video when it's out.
Yeah, I don't know why he did that. He said he was a big fan and to have Reckful just say "I'm out" without any reason, and to leave before hearing the entire pitch is just so out of the blue and disrespectful...
22:07 idk why but as soon as I saw his face I thought "he looks portuguese..." ._. I guess we can easily recognize our own folk to a certain degree but it's still pretty weird how that was the first thing I noticed.
The loud vocal minority might get all the attention are often what people look to in order label and entire group of people, but it hardly ever a lines with the majority of the group that is being blanked labeled. A lot of modern day racism is a good example of this.
The thing the first guy proposed exists already, it’s called mattermost. Basically open-source slack. Lots of companies and government agencies use mattermost.
I don't understand why Portugal guy doesn't just make it good. A browser extension that alerts you to new posts of any variety from any platform that you wish to receive and then you click open and it comes up in a separate window.
@@wolololer Good point. I am out of my depth here. I just know there are websites that have youtube videos and you watch the youtube ads but it is all on their website. And with twitter I know I see clips of twitter posts all over top journalism sites so that is what I am going off of.
I really enjoy this concept but I would like to see it either with just Reckful or have guests who really do know about business enough to recognize an invest-able opportunity. With a recurring format it would also give people time to prepare a pitch as well as find guests who are coming for that purpose. Love it though, shark tank is one of my favorite shows and seeing it without the reality TV coat of paint is nice.
Austin Woodruff pretty much my criticism as well. Neither of them know enough about business (seemingly) to recognize an investable opportunity. I think having guest with better knowledge would be great.
The problem with the 2nd guy is that he never did a finished product only a demo, and im not sure about how big the market is for hit boxes. if on the other hand your doing custom controllers which you can commission custom art or make them custom per user then you can get more out of each order.
Searching arcade sticks already gives a lot of results for $40 and this guy wants to sell it for 80 even though it looks way worse. I don't think this is going anywhere. The only people that are going to buy it are reckful viewers.
I think the kid who graduated university definitely could have been a better presenter.. but saying "I'm out" is a bit classless.. You need to remember if you come across this way to fans, people will stop wanting to even be on the show / won't think its worth it. So you need to think about how you react and respond to these people putting their ideas out in front of you. It is a two way street. You are being honoured by them to hear their pitch, and their being honoured by you to have the opportunity. So just keep that in mind.
I like the arcade stick idea. Even if there are sticks for 20$ from china, I don't think the price should be the selling point, but the wood. A quick search on amazon doesn't bring up any wooden ones, just cheap looking plastic stuff. And if he can get better looking wood, make it look better and still sell them for 80-100 bucks, I think he could get some customers. Especially because each stick is handcrafted and unique. Also he could show how it's done and sell DIY kits (just the parts and pre-cut wood) and assembled ones. I think this could work out.
The prices were way off. Theres no way hes making them in a 1/2 hour. He will last a day or two at 5 hours. Assemble time is short but prepping the wood would take hours on hours.
Pokimane is such a Pepega. She talks as if she knows what she's talking about, but in reality she's just clueless. The ruthless businesswoman meme has gone to her head.
Yeah, to some degree. She has mostly no experience investing. I think some of the things she said made a lot of sense, like a concept is best explained in a simple way. People overcomplicate, maybe to sound more professional, and lose the people they're selling to. Shows no empathy. Reckful needs to understand the practicality and likelihood of return in his investment, Poki needs a presentation that captures her emotionally.
I am not trying to be a simp, but pokimane most likely did this because reckful wanted to do it with her. She doesn't have the experience with these types of situations so its seems kind of weird to call someone retarded because of that. Chill out and get your own life.
The format is cool, here is an idea how to improve: Include audience by giving people the chance to challenge the idea presented. I myself for example build some arcade sticks and know a thing or two about the topic. It seemed like you both did not know too much about the product and I sat here with at least 5 additional questions to challenge his idea. You could even turn people who are good challengers, because of expertise, knowledge and capability to communicate into regulars for certain topics. Would love to watch the show. One person pitching, two to three people challenging the product and two people judging from a business standpoint and have the final decision.
Just putting this out there, most serious companies and even officials (government) don't use p2p skype or the consumer grade version. So don't worry about the security of it lol.
Enrique can actually be on to something rly good/big there if hes doing what needs to be done etc. it seems like a rly sweet idea that should have been built into youtube from the beginning or at least now. the only thing he should try to do with the video part is, make open in picture by picture that way u can drag it switch page without it having closed.
The last guy should have made it into a phone app, cause alot of people dont fuck around with extensions on their browser, but on o phone it would make more sense i think, and make it "free" with ads and have it cost like $5 for the ad free version.
the only way you can make good profits on arcade sticks is by making a PS4/Xbox/PC compatible PCBs which have low delay. Currently universal compatible PCBs cost around 80$.
imagine hearing Poki say she wouldnt spare 5k to someone with a vision when she didnt even do anything to earn them not to mention she is making 7 figures..thank god for her that people make anyone famous even if they havent done anything..
Okay... why don’t you go do since you have to do nothing to make 7 figures and why don’t you go send this guy a equivalent percentage of 5k in terms of how much money you have. The amount self importance you have is nauseating
How fucking rude, although sharks are basically playing with peoples emotions at least they have some etiquette. Byron and Poki were on their high horse throughtout and seemed to be very dismissive and disrespectful.
have you ever taken a stem course that talks about the engineering process? just look at the first guy, he literally says "I haven't looked into (wireshark, zoom, google hangout as skype alternatives)" because he has an good idea and a narrative for a problem but skimped on the research (much less an idea for how he would intend to provide a solution). Yes, he also said that he doesn't care about the investment, but so what, he's doing a pitch and no one should be so unprepared when making a pitch for an investment. edit: go ahead and say this is all fake and just for content, but if the content is about emulating SharkTank, then we need to judge these pitches by the very real criteria those sharks use
@@fearstreak7462 I wasnt talking about their decisions moreso their demeanor and btw none of these people were prepared because it was an impulsive idea from reckful and pokimame, so chillax
poki was speaking out of her ass with the last pitch at certain points, but overall she impresses me the most of all the young content creators for mental presence and capacity, like she actually was debating her analysis and trying to engage the pitches.
The guy that said off brands sell the fighting sticks for 40 was capping so hard. The cheapest one from a reputable offbrand was HORI for 49.99 BUT IT WAS A MINI not a full stick. The full HORI stick was 100+
Well if you use plastic there´s zero difference to those fight sticks you find on alibaba, wish or gearbest. There´s no way a single dude can compete with chinese companys.
At the end of the day nobody is going to truly sell a valuable company for 10k. The fact that someone is willing to accept 10k for half their company shows that they will not be a success.
ahh... true. Also making the idea so public too. 40% is way too much to say yeah like that. Will he even have any profit? The materials will cost him too
@@fkdkdkfkrkska48485 Because successful pre-seed companies exist? And they don't give 10k for 40%. From what I have seen VC and smart angel investors are like high interest payday loan granters, only instead of giving you money because you are near guaranteed to get a paycheck, they give you money because you are near guaranteed to make them more in the future. And shark tank is probably all fake but for what it is worth if you pay attention they rarely invest in anyone that hasn't already proven the business and is basically already successful. Reckful is investing in people because he is larping.
great content, kinda sad i couldnt watch it live. i personally feel like you guys are expecting too much, like these guys doing this stuff probably for the first time, decided to come on stream spontaneously, dont have a perfect business plan etc and most of them just need advice.
@@MrDemoPan If they are investing their own money, they absolutely should ask for a good pitch. If someone just wants advice, there are plenty of other stream sections for that.
I enjoyed the type of content but people need more time to prepare and proof of concepts/prototypes definitely help. The 2nd guy didn't need 10k for the idea he pitched but it can be used for researching similar but better ideas. But he definitely should look into making DIY kits where people don't have to drill or solder themselves. Then make a website where people can pick the different parts (like colors of buttons, grips for the stick, etc). Chat is right when they say there is a lot of competition (even cheap ones) that have better finished products. *But something that is missing on the market is controllers for people with a disability (they need bigger controls and different layouts). Recently there was a news articles about a dad that made a Nintendo switch controller for his daughter with a disability to play Zelda BotW. Several console manufacturers showed interest so they might make one themselves but for people with a disability there often is no one-controller-fits-all. A system to customize the controller layout yourself (different sizes of controller boards where you snap in buttons) would benefit both gamers with a disability and gamers who like customization (custom painting, custom 3d printed shapes, etc).* The 3rd guy: Firefox already has Picture-in-Picture mode built into the browser (always top layer and no need to be focused on that browser tab). I use it for both TH-cam and Twitch. Making his extension kinda pointless (in it's current state it does less than the builtin feature). Besides the builtin feature there are hundreds of similar extensions that work on both desktop and mobile. Both Twitch and TH-cam also have both email, app and browser notifications. It's really easy for websites to implement browser notifications.
The 1st guy clearly hasn't heard about Microsoft Teams that replaced Skype and integrates OneDrive, Sharepoint and office365. But there are also several alternatives both hosted online or self-hosted.
Sureeee you would buddy. If your that confident in your abilities, why don't you just sell your house and everything you own and use that to invest? If your sure your going to make your money back
So you're sayning that you could just take a loan for that 10k from the bank and make that into a million and then pay back the bank the 10k + a few k in intesest and pocket the rest 900k+ but yet you dont? No balls.
If he really wants to get noticed quickly, he should sell them really cheap, let's say 30. He could always raise the price a bit if his brand gets traction. Already trying to make a 65 profit margin/unit when your costs are only 15 as a one man, completely new and unprofessional 'business' is ridiculous.
@@TechnoBro999 he made it from an old cabnet , you guys dont know sense , he said he'd buy wood or refurbish old wood and make it look better if he was to sell them, he also had a drill as his only tool and cut a board of wood in half with it. these are clearly proto-types that could be improved with capital which reckful/pokemane would provide, dude has no job is 22 and plays games all day and said he'd rather make controllers all day if he was making profit from it. reckful also found you can buy non name brands for cheap then 150 and even said selling for 40 or 50$ is till a profit and he'd make his 10k in less than 6months .
here in Brazil a cheap arcade stick is like R$800. i don't play fighting games just cause of that... now knowing is so cheap to make one i'll try to build my own too... thanks for the idea
Selling a plywood board with a joystick on it for 80$ would imply people should expect half the quality of a 150-160$ market standard. Needless to say, this prototype is not it. Also liked the part where college graduate expressed how much of a fan he was of Byron, only to have him reject his idea without hearing out his pitch and no explanation or enlightenment as to why his product would fail. I get that reckful is very observant and analyticall, but just sitting out the pitch is naught but a show of decency.
I think this series would be better if the candidates were vetted on their ideas. It was kind of hard watching people pitch things that didn't make sense or things that already existed.
So cringe watching Poki try to pretend she understands what Wireshark is or have any idea whatsoever on how to invest, she never intended on doing shit it was for the clout. Reckful is a champ always.
I really liked this content, but tbh I was annoyed by Poki. I feel like she would never invest in anything from these viewers at all. I liked your moderator's comments more actually :D But, I liked the 'basic' podcast with Poki.
I think this is a great watch, very entertaining! However, I do worry about the potential of a great idea being stolen given that this is all streamed live. It'd really break my heart to see any of these ambitious young people get screwed over. With that said... great streams Reckful! I look forward to the next one! -Ez
thats why u dont come up to this stuf with an idea, like the 1st kid he comes in with nothign but his "miraculous" idea, like he doesnt even know how to start doing it. when u go to this stuf u gota be into that idea already making it work or atleast close to that
Let me know if you guys enjoy this type of content =)
Its so genius
This is great to watch, more please
its godly
Its the best content I've seen in a few years
I liked it would like to see more but with different streamers to help you invest too and give advice. Pokie not gonna lie was annoying at times.
This needs to become a series, really cool idea :)
except with smart people instead of Pokimane
It's not really a cool idea as much as it's copying a tv show onto twitch. Aka scuffed shark tank but I can dig it.
I think now it is impossible
That didnt age well
:(
Dude that was an awesome idea for a stream, the candidates, overall, were quite impressive
the guy with the youtube extension idea is literally something that youtube should do but they dont because they recommend all the wrong content

28:40 Man, Poki’s reaction was amazing. Poor Byron cared too much about other’s opinions, and she was looking after that.
Don't watch much of Poki but her business sense was very impressive, props
This guy Reckful was such a smart guy!!! RIP!!!
I just wonder if the stick has good response time. Thats something I would concentrate on and try to capitalize on.
FYI: Byron, the way you left after the guy came and said he is a big fan of you and clearly didn't really care about Poki, was really rude.
Yeah, I don't know why he did that. He said he was a big fan and to have Reckful just say "I'm out" without any reason, and to leave before hearing the entire pitch is just so out of the blue and disrespectful...
Why else? Because Byron is a piece of shit. Nothing new.
Maybe because he just don't feel the idea?
@@Polyrthyawhut I stand behind it. Byron is a nice guy, just sometimes doesn't think before acting.
@@Pytliczello He didn't listen to the idea fully, just re-watch the reaction of the guy and you will understand what I mean
When and where can i buy that arcade stick?
The joystick guy was promising and let down by the girl
calling Reckful a Jew when Pokimane is the real cheap one
She doesn't want to shell money for content
2.20 Microsoft teams is the new platform for businesses. It uses SharePoint to store files, and I'm pretty sure that is secure enough
22:07 idk why but as soon as I saw his face I thought "he looks portuguese..." ._. I guess we can easily recognize our own folk to a certain degree but it's still pretty weird how that was the first thing I noticed.
Pokimane has the tonality of someone with deep knowledge. But everything she says is like babis first time.
Half way through and so far im actually thoroughly impressed. The way most twich chats are, i expected pure pepega
The loud vocal minority might get all the attention are often what people look to in order label and entire group of people, but it hardly ever a lines with the majority of the group that is being blanked labeled. A lot of modern day racism is a good example of this.

Windows 10 latest updates already added picture in picture for any video RIP
I enjoyed the type of content but people need more time to prepare and proof of concepts/prototypes definitely help.
The 2nd guy didn't need 10k for the idea he pitched but it can be used for researching similar but better ideas.
But he definitely should look into making DIY kits where people don't have to drill or solder themselves. Then make a website where people can pick the different parts (like colors of buttons, grips for the stick, etc).
Chat is right when they say there is a lot of competition (even cheap ones) that have better finished products. *But something that is missing on the market is controllers for people with a disability (they need bigger controls and different layouts). Recently there was a news articles about a dad that made a Nintendo switch controller for his daughter with a disability to play Zelda BotW. Several console manufacturers showed interest so they might make one themselves but for people with a disability there often is no one-controller-fits-all. A system to customize the controller layout yourself (different sizes of controller boards where you snap in buttons) would benefit both gamers with a disability and gamers who like customization (custom painting, custom 3d printed shapes, etc).*
The 3rd guy:
Firefox already has Picture-in-Picture mode built into the browser (always top layer and no need to be focused on that browser tab). I use it for both TH-cam and Twitch. Making his extension kinda pointless (in it's current state it does less than the builtin feature). Besides the builtin feature there are hundreds of similar extensions that work on both desktop and mobile.
Both Twitch and TH-cam also have both email, app and browser notifications. It's really easy for websites to implement browser notifications.
The 1st guy clearly hasn't heard about Microsoft Teams that replaced Skype and integrates OneDrive, Sharepoint and office365. But there are also several alternatives both hosted online or self-hosted.
this was a great idea
If reckful invested 10k in me, I'd turn it into a million on the stock market and pay him back 500k.
Sureeee you would buddy. If your that confident in your abilities, why don't you just sell your house and everything you own and use that to invest? If your sure your going to make your money back
So you're sayning that you could just take a loan for that 10k from the bank and make that into a million and then pay back the bank the 10k + a few k in intesest and pocket the rest 900k+ but yet you dont? No balls.
i miss being 13
@@omatomatom Me too
This is awesome, love it
Is that a UIL trophy behind him, I also have one of those.
Reckful is so smart when it comes to business. He always asks the right questions.
its really cool, that he did this but who tf would pay 80$ for this wooden controller instead of a 150$ one thats nice and garanteed
Gaetan Tanguay Price is a big difference for a lot of people in developing countries.
If he really wants to get noticed quickly, he should sell them really cheap, let's say 30. He could always raise the price a bit if his brand gets traction. Already trying to make a 65 profit margin/unit when your costs are only 15 as a one man, completely new and unprofessional 'business' is ridiculous.
Jesus yeah that controller looks like it would break VERY easily. $65 is waaaaayyyyyy too much
@@TechnoBro999 he made it from an old cabnet , you guys dont know sense , he said he'd buy wood or refurbish old wood and make it look better if he was to sell them, he also had a drill as his only tool and cut a board of wood in half with it. these are clearly proto-types that could be improved with capital which reckful/pokemane would provide, dude has no job is 22 and plays games all day and said he'd rather make controllers all day if he was making profit from it. reckful also found you can buy non name brands for cheap then 150 and even said selling for 40 or 50$ is till a profit and he'd make his 10k in less than 6months .
Poki is quite smart actually
here in Brazil a cheap arcade stick is like R$800. i don't play fighting games just cause of that...
now knowing is so cheap to make one i'll try to build my own too... thanks for the idea
you can play fighting games with a controller or get a hitbox, which is the alternative for arcade stick
how tf has he not knocked that candle onto his carpet yet
Selling a plywood board with a joystick on it for 80$ would imply people should expect half the quality of a 150-160$ market standard. Needless to say, this prototype is not it. Also liked the part where college graduate expressed how much of a fan he was of Byron, only to have him reject his idea without hearing out his pitch and no explanation or enlightenment as to why his product would fail. I get that reckful is very observant and analyticall, but just sitting out the pitch is naught but a show of decency.
I think this series would be better if the candidates were vetted on their ideas. It was kind of hard watching people pitch things that didn't make sense or things that already existed.
Chat is spamming "ruthless", but it is just a business.
Someone is out of touch with the meme
@@Mr-R.R. ruthless business woman😙
Again. I want to see another. good ep :)
Ouch
Reckful helping out some small guys.
So cringe watching Poki try to pretend she understands what Wireshark is or have any idea whatsoever on how to invest, she never intended on doing shit it was for the clout. Reckful is a champ always.
Oh no no no he actually invested 10k PepeLaugh
There's alot of 50 dollar arcade sticks that would perform better than that scuffed shit
I really liked this content, but tbh I was annoyed by Poki. I feel like she would never invest in anything from these viewers at all. I liked your moderator's comments more actually :D But, I liked the 'basic' podcast with Poki.
Twitch Shark Tank. 😂
Do this again, I wanna come on and pitch for you :-D
I watched xqc do something similar today so I came back to this video with byron :)
40% for 10.000$ Its not even realistic. LUL
Do more of this
I think this is a great watch, very entertaining! However, I do worry about the potential of a great idea being stolen given that this is all streamed live. It'd really break my heart to see any of these ambitious young people get screwed over.
With that said... great streams Reckful! I look forward to the next one!
-Ez
Ideas should be shared, otherwise we'd collectively miss out if one person fails
thats why u dont come up to this stuf with an idea, like the 1st kid he comes in with nothign but his "miraculous" idea, like he doesnt even know how to start doing it. when u go to this stuf u gota be into that idea already making it work or atleast close to that
Ill fasho buy a fight stick for 80 hands downs.
