Alright folks, so I've been seein' a lot of stuff on how Devboi's stream is "private", when it's really not. But not for the reasons you're thinking of! It's not the fault of the YanSim Anniversary Stream, but rather what was done afterwords.

Allow me to elaborate, with a house.

Devboi, let's say you have your own house, it's a very nice house. You invite your friends to your house often. One day, you decide to celebrate owning this very nice house for two years with a party. Everyone in the country is invited, and they all go to the party and have fun.

After the party, you clean up, take down the advertisements for your party, etc. But people keep coming! Why? You've left your front door wiiiide open!

So, eventually, getting tired of this, you close your door and leave a sign, saying "DON'T FUCKING COME HERE UNLESS YOU'RE SOMEONE I'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS."

But they still keep coming! Why? Because, despite closing it, you haven't locked your door, silly! You could lock it, or move elsewhere, but you seem to think that the ones you've known for so long will never be able to see you again because you've locked your door. In reality, you could probably just email them your new address if you've moved out, or mail spare keys to them all. Or something.

Just like how you could lock the door to your house, you could just make a password and email it to your friends, or email them and ask for their skype accounts (or send them a fancy discord invite link).

Naturally, the house example isn't the most realistic, but it is the most decent example I could think of.

TLDR: The stream's not private, despite the fact that it's supposed to be, because you don't have a password (AKA: locking the door). Moving to another site would take some hassle, but it'd get the job done.

I'm curious to see your responses!

And that was my retort to the dumbass reddit people.
