Honest question. I'm vaguely familiar with streaming software and fairly tech literate.

How does something like this accidentally happen?
Also, OP says he forgot to turn off the camera and masturbated but that doesn't seem to be what the video depicts?

I've once forgotten to end the recording of a short clip and ended up with something like hour of black with occasional clicking sounds at the end, it happens

The video source got switched to a, frankly, suspiciously fast placed montage of hardcore gay porn. That's not the same as leaving the stream on a blank video feed with occasional clicks.

Fast paced montages are the hit right now in the Internet porn world, so i heard.

What was suspicious about it? Are you saying it wasn't him who decided to watch a hardcore gay compilation? Are you saying it was just randomly served to him by his isp? Man, that's never happened to me, so weird.

It's possible he was capturing his entire screen instead of just some window, then forgot to turn off whatever software he uses. It's definitely possible.

The Jews did it?

Come on, that's a little on the nose, isn't it?

It doesn't happen that often with professionals because they keep their work and personal programs on completely separate computers.

This is one of a myriad of reasons why you do that.

Wouldn't want your taxes folder getting leaked

Pretty much, and some very bad ones at that. Like if he set alt-tab to start streaming.

[–] wick@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The only way this could happen is if he has hotkeys setup to switch between video sources, and I guess to restart the stream. I don't think OBS (the most used streaming software) set these hotkeys up by default so we can't really guess what they might be. It is also likely that Nick uses some kind of 3rd party stream control hardware to manage these shortcuts, but if that is the case it would make it even less likely that this happened by accident because when using a device like that you usually set up long shortcuts like ctrl-shift-alt-F9, etc.

SO if Nick has set these shortcuts to be the same as the at least two of the following:

  • alt-tab to his browser/media player,
  • ctrl-tab to cycle through browser tabs,
  • Space to resume playback,
  • Ctrl-shift-p to open a private browser, or
  • Left click / right click for a bunch of stuff

then it's possible that Nick managed to restart the stream, begin playback, and after several seconds switch the video source.

It's pretty damn unlikely. The sound, maybe, that could continue without additional input from the user as it captures all desktop audio by default. But starting the stream again and switching video source? Nah I doubt it.

Yeah... Its a bit weird. It would be satisfying if it were true but it's fishy for sure.... I guess if you were screen sharing in the wrong browser? But stream ended usually means stream ended... i dunno how you accidentally go live at that point... Is there anyone else referncing this? Good one, but just looks like an edit.

Steam ended as in "the official steam ended" and then he forgot to actually end it and accidently streamed himself jerking it to gay porn.
