"If I Were Streaming in the Middle Ages"

If I were born a few centuries earlier — say, 1275 — I’d still be a streamer. Just... a different kind.

Picture it: I’m standing on a wooden cart in the middle of a muddy village square. There’s no chat, no mic, just me yelling about the latest joust while a crowd throws bread or cheers. That’s the OG comment section right there.

Instead of a gaming chair, I’ve got hay bales. My “stream setup” is a torch-lit barn and a half-broken lute for intro music. Frame drops? Try waiting three weeks for a pigeon to deliver your subscriber count.

I’d cover tournaments — actual swordfights — and maybe interview knights post-battle.
“Sir Gareth, what was going through your mind when the axe flew past your face?”
“Mostly fear. And regret. But also honor.”

Donations? Probably tossed coins or goats. And trolls? Literal ones, hiding in the woods.

But honestly, the essence is the same. People crave stories, connection, excitement. Even back then, they wanted to feel close to the action — just like now.

And if medieval streamers had anything like we do today, platforms like GAD.BET would’ve been the gathering place. A place to talk, predict, engage — a virtual tavern, but cleaner and without the sword fights.

Streaming is just storytelling with tech. Whether it’s a lance or a keyboard, we all just want to be seen and heard — in real time.
