著述《How an Irish YouTuber turned a niche following into millions for charities with holiday livestreams/一位爱尔兰的YouTuber是怎样通过节日直播将小众粉丝群体改动为数百万的慈善捐钱》发布在apnews.com好意思联社新闻的网站上,作家是James Pollard。这篇著述答复了爱尔兰YouTuber Seán McLoughlin(网名Jacksepticeye)怎样诈欺他的影响力,通过节日直播举止“Thankmas”筹集数百万好意思元慈善款项的故事。Jacksepticeye诈欺其果然和宽裕感染力的个性,不仅诱惑了浅近的粉丝,还通过慈义举止将他们凝华成一个互助的社区,彰显了科技与公益谄媚的深广后劲。 YouTuber肖恩·麦克劳克林,他更广为东谈主知的名字是Jacksepticeye,于2024年11月21日星期四,在英国布莱顿他最心爱的咖啡馆喝咖啡。 图片开端:AP Photo/Thomas KrychSeán McLoughlin wears a lot of hats: YouTuber. Voice actor. Coffee entrepreneur. But McLoughlin, better known by his pseudonym Jacksepticeye, likes to say he would be a therapist if he wasn’t posting video game playthroughs for his nearly 31 million subscribers.
肖恩·麦克劳克林身兼数职:YouTuber、配音演员、咖啡企业家。然则,麦克劳克林(他的另一个名字Jacksepticeye更为东谈主熟知)常说,若是他不向近3100万的订阅者上传游戏实况视频,他可能会成为又名形势调整师。
The 34-year-old Irish creator finds that gaming enthusiasts aren’t just drawn by his expressive reactions to the latest action role-playing games; fans also resonate with his candid discussions of mental health. The supportive responses from his niche but passionate following make McLoughlin feel “less alone,” he said, forging the same camaraderie that brought him to online gaming communities as a lonely 20-something living at his family’s remote home.
这位34岁的爱尔兰创作家发现,游戏青睐者们不仅心爱看他对最新RPG游戏的机动响应,也会被他对形势健康的坦率盘考所打动。他说,小众但鄙吝的粉丝群体赐与的支合手性恢复,让他感到“没那么并立”。这种陪伴感,就像他二十多岁孤身一东谈主在偏远的家中糊口时,诱惑他加入荟萃游戏社区的那种讲理。
That shared connection is also central to his annual fundraiser, “Thankmas.” The charity livestream is one of many online specials emerging as a modern spin on the classic telethon. Total donations have increased more than 50% over the last year on Tiltify, a digital platform that integrates giving tools into streams. The spaces are credited for allowing more authentic interactions between nonprofits and young donors — and encouraging benevolence in a corner of the web marked by incendiary rhetoric.
这种共同的计划也成为了他年度筹款举止“Thankmas”的中枢。“Thankmas”是一场慈善直播举止,是传统电视马拉松筹款举止的当代化版块之一。Tiltify平台(译者注:Tiltify是一个面向慈善募捐举止的在线筹款平台,专为个体用户、本色创作家、企业及团队想象。它允许用户通过直播、打法媒体或其他数字渠谈为他们支合手的慈善机构筹集资金;Tiltify的特色是将游戏和互动元素融入募款举止,举例挑战打算、里程碑解锁以及捐赠激勉,从而诱惑更多的捐赠东谈主参与;况兼Tiltify与Twitch、YouTube等直播平台无缝对接,让创作家不错在直播时径直清爽筹款进程和不雅众捐赠信息)通过将捐赠器用整合到直播中,其旧年捐钱总数增长了50%以上。这类平台被认为有助于在非渔利组织和年青捐赠东谈主之间开辟更果然的互动,也同期在充满利弊言论的荟萃边缘里,饱读吹了一种行善的文化。
“If you want to do good things, the people are there, and they’ll listen,” McLoughlin said. “They’re already following you for what you do for a reason. So they’ll follow you to help out people as well.”
麦克劳克林说:“若是你想作念功德,东谈主们就在那里,他们会听到你的。他们一经因为你作念的事情而关注你,是以他们也会陪同你扫数去匡助别东谈主。”
Follow they have. His streams have raked in more than $26 million, according to partner Tiltify. This year’s goal is to collect $6 million for two nonprofits supporting mental health: Crisis Text Line and Samaritans.
他们如实陪同了麦克劳克林。据合作伙伴Tiltify提供的数据,他的直播举止已筹集了越过2600万好意思元。本年的打算是为两家谱合手形势健康的非渔利组织Crisis Text Line和Samaritans筹集600万好意思元。
A seven-figure target would have seemed a longshot when McLoughlin entered the space. The initial idea was to hold monthly fundraisers. He hosted seven charitable streams in 2018, Tiltify records show, for causes including pediatric cancer and clean water. The year culminated in the inaugural “Thankmas,” which pulled over a quarter of a million dollars.
当麦克劳克林插足这个限制时,七位数的筹款打算看起来是一个驴年马月的逸想。他领先的想法是每月举办筹款举止。凭据Tiltify的纪录,他在2018年举办了七场慈善直播举止,召募的善款用于儿童癌症和清洁水源等业绩。那一年,他的首届“Thankmas”筹集了越过25万好意思元的善款。
But McLoughlin said the pace became “a bit much.” That same year he announced a brief break from YouTube, in part due to unhappiness from the demands he felt for high content volumes. He resolved to focus on one big holiday event at the end of the year, when he said people are “a bit more giving and heartfelt.”
但麦克劳克林示意,这么的节律“有点过了”。同庚,他晓谕暂时退出YouTube,部分原因是因为关于大批的本色产出需求,让他感到不雀跃。他决定专注在年底举办一次大型节日举止,因为他认为其时的东谈主们“会更乐于奉献、更有爱心”。
It wasn’t until 2020 that Tiltify CEO Michael Wasserman said the two began working closely to maximize the streams’ reach. McLoughlin reached out, according to Wasserman, and said he wanted something “more impactful.” With communities worldwide reeling from the pandemic, they put together the #HopeFromHome campaign: a peer-to-peer event where multitudes could simultaneously rally around the same cause. McLoughlin served as a tent pole supporting the other streamers.
Tiltify首席实施官迈克尔·瓦瑟曼示意,直到2020年,他们两东谈主才运行密切合作,以最大化直播的影响力。瓦瑟曼说,麦克劳克林主动计划了他,并示意但愿作念一些“更具影响力的事情”。在全球社区因疫情而遭受冲击之际,他们策划了#HopeFromHome举止:这是一个点对点的举止,比比皆是的东谈主不错同期为团结个业绩互助起来。麦克劳克林为其他的主播充任了支合手。
Their first effort together yielded $1.9 million for United Way Worldwide and more than one-third came from McLoughlin’s stream alone. The following “Thankmas” generated more than $4.7 million. Wasserman said he’d never seen his technology used so collaboratively.
他们第一次合作就为全球衔接之路筹集了190万好意思元,其中三分之一以上来自麦克劳克林的直播。而接下来的“Thankmas”则筹集了越过470万好意思元。瓦瑟曼示意,他从未见过他的技艺被如斯协同地使用。
“That’s what really made this a regular, multimillion-dollar event,” Wasserman said. “Not just making it, ‘Hey I’m going to fundraise and just watch me,’ but, ‘We as a community can do this and get involved together.’”
沃瑟曼说:“这才是果然让这项举止,成为如期举办、价值数百万好意思元的原因。不是单纯地说‘嘿,我要筹款,大众就看着我吧’, 而是‘咱们当作一个社区不错扫数作念到这少许,并共同参与其中。’”
This year’s “Thankmas” will be performed before a live audience in Los Angeles but broadcast online. Recent specials have seen McLoughlin make surprise calls into streams that are also pooling contributions. Comedic segments sometimes feature traditional celebrities; actor Jack Black played a life-sized game of Jenga in 2022.
本年的“Thankmas”将在洛杉矶的不雅众眼前现场进行,同期默契过荟萃进行直播。在近期的杰出举止上,麦克劳克林还在其他的筹款直播中进行了惊喜电话连线。直播的笑剧门径无意会邀请传统名东谈主参与。举例,演员杰克·布莱克就在2022年参加了一场真东谈主大小的叠叠乐积木游戏。

But new technologies and web cultures enable more engaging experiences. Wasserman said charitable livestreams like McLoughlin’s are not a “passive watching experience.”
这个想法肖似于上世纪由笑剧演员杰瑞·刘易斯草创的明星电视募捐马拉松。但新技艺和荟萃文化给这些举止带来了更多的互动和诱惑力。瓦瑟曼示意,像麦克劳克林这么的慈善直播举止并不是一种“被迫的不雅看体验”。
It’s “a much more personable approach to giving,” according to Yvette Wohn, a professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology who studies human-computer interaction.
新泽西理工学院、专注于计划东谈主机交互的造就耶夫特·沃恩示意,这是一种“更具亲和力的捐赠形态”。
A streamer’s audience “cares about them,” Wohn said, and donors flock to their content because “they really like that person.” Social media and chat boxes allow fans to feel seen by hosts in ways television viewers could never expect. Followers might get shoutouts by name upon contributing. McLoughlin has previously shared fan art submitted through specific hashtags.
沃恩示意,直播主播的粉丝“在乎主播”,捐赠东谈主会蜂涌而至不雅看主播的本色,因为“他们真的很心爱这个东谈主”。打法媒体和聊天框让粉丝们感到我方被主播看见,这种互动是电视不雅众所无法企及的。粉丝们可能会在捐赠后被主播点名感谢。麦克劳克林曾通过特定的话题标签来共享粉丝们提交的同东谈主画作。
Fandoms also develop subcultures. McLoughlin’s gaming catchphrases are especially popular among his circles. Jacksepticeye content often starts with him shouting, “Top of the morning to ya, laddies!” and fans have uploaded video compilations of the expression. Members then form friendships with others in the fandom. That creates a “positive social pressure” to donate, according to Wohn, helping new generations “dip their toes into building an identity as somebody that gives.”
粉丝群体也会发展出子文化。麦克劳克林的游戏理论禅在他的粉丝圈中杰出受迎接。Jacksepticeye的视频本色频频以他高歌“Top of the morning to ya, laddies!(酷爱酷爱是:大伙们,早上好!)”开场,粉丝们还上传了该理论禅的视频集锦。然后,粉丝圈的成员会与其他粉丝开辟友谊。沃恩示意,这种情况创造了一种“正面的打法压力”,促使新一代“尝试开辟当作捐赠东谈主的身份招供”。
“Giving habits are things that build over time,” Wohn said. “If younger people start to engage in this culture of giving, I feel like the general culture of giving might expand in ways that cannot be done from a top-down perspective.”
沃恩说:“捐赠习尚是跟着时辰积蓄起来的。若是年青东谈主运行参与这种捐赠文化,我合计全体的捐赠文化可能会以一种从下到上的形态延迟开来。这是从上至下的形态所作念不到的。”
Still, McLoughlin describes online communities as a “double-edged sword.” The “monetization of hate,” he said, is “bigger than it’s ever been.” And the desire for acceptance can introduce lonely people to dark pockets of the internet that nevertheless provide kinship.
尽管如斯,麦克劳克林仍然将荟萃社区面目为一把“双刃剑”。他说,“通过挑动仇恨来赚钱”的状态比以往任何时候齐更为严重。而渴慕被接管的形势,则可能将孤独的东谈主引入互联网上的阴郁边缘,尽管这些场地也提供了某种程度的包摄感。
“Thankmas” aims to prove it’s easy to do good online. Yes, he acknowledged, charity work is “quite intimidating.” Where is the line between promoting the fundraiser and promoting himself? McLoughlin doesn’t know. He just hopes people trust it’s coming from the right place.
“Thankmas”的见识是讲明在网上作念功德并不难。麦克劳克林承认,慈善使命“如实让东谈主有些畏怯”。宣传筹款举止与宣传我方,这之间的规模在那儿?麦克劳克林我方也不知谈。他只但愿东谈主们治服他的起点是正确的。
At least one longtime follower was drawn by McLoughlin’s ties to this year’s cause. Jack Worthey, a 20-year-old from Texas, said McLoughlin brought much comfort growing up with “similar family troubles.” It had been several years since he watched Jacksepticeye content, he said, but he was pulled back by an October video where McLoughlin detailed his journey finding mental health treatment.
长久粉丝中至少有一位是被麦克劳克林本年支合手的业绩而诱惑。来自德克萨斯州的20岁后生杰克·沃西示意,麦克劳克林在他成前程程中碰到了和他“肖似的家庭问题”,这给他带来了很多安危。沃西提到,我方一经有好几年没看过Jacksepticeye的本色了,但本年10月份的一条视频把他拉了归来,视频中麦克劳克林详备答复了我方寻求形势健康调整的历程。
Worthey said he wouldn’t have looked into “Thankmas” had McLoughlin had not made the promotion so personal. He now plans to raise awareness through digital art. For Worthey, returning to the channel as an adult and seeing the “positive product” has been “really amazing.”
沃西示意,若是不是麦克劳克林将“Thankmas”的推论作念得如斯个东谈主化,他可能根柢不会去了解这一举止。沃西当今规划通过数字艺术来提升公众对这一举止的关注。关于沃西来说,当作一个成年东谈主再行回到这个频谈,看到这种“积极的恶果”,他感到“尽头惊奇。”
“It makes you see what I was enjoying when I was younger in a different light,” Worthey said. “It brings a different type of joy.”
沃西说谈:“这让我用一种不同的视角,来看待我小时候所心爱的东西。这带来了一种不同的快活。”
