can you talk about how you found and hired your first twitch employees?

[KismetBP]

I’m 50 and I never heard of “bus level” this is my new favorite. Made me laugh 😂 My streams bus level is also 1. 🚌🤪

[rafael.beirigo]

When I heard Justin mention about the "bus number" I thought: man, how sad would it be to be a sole entrepreneur with a bus number of less than one... LOL

[danilotrampovski]

can you talk about how you look younger now than in your 20s?

[jadelahmad]

I think kappa is the Greek letter κ. Greek speakers, please confirm.
















Which letter does N, ηΗ Or νΝ

Justin,

When you're old you still don't have to have it all figured out. I'm reminded every single day coding my startup that I will never have it all figured out and I'm not exactly new to the rodeo.

[tonysimoni]

Love the stories and the fast in-between edits. I challenge you to keep "the office" edits in every story going forward :-)

[MarketingHarry]

I definitely liked the early Twich story and the lessons you shared at the end. 😉👍

[yestin]

How did you meet your team of cofounders?

[Andy-rkkz]

tell us about the people you've mentored or helped start their own startup (im thinking of zerocater) and ycombinator. i've been following you since you started justin.tv and love your story and come up. i watched a lot of your streams, even the controversial one where you hooked up with someone while the camera was streaming on the floor.

[himedokoka]

Can you do a stream on twitch.tv (and then upload it to youtube)? I think it would be epic if the founder of twitch.tv himself came on for a day!

[lapor__]

A week ago I didn't know you existed and now I have you for inspiration jsjsjs, awww now i want to have a business... and escape from Argentina

[AlongSamXiong]

Loving these vids man, your channel is pure gold.

[wava]

Hey Justin I don't know is you saw but there a guy who posted a video of you and him talking on the live stream, thought it was super cool haha! Just search Justin Khan Live stream, you were in bed and they guy called you haha!

[Awesomousprimo]

Can you make a video about Whale? I liked that product but one day it went away with no notice!

I smashed like and turned on notifications, you'll love me forever, right?

[internetceo]

Could you talk about your steps to get traffic to your site? Building a Plattform seems like the "easy" part nowadays, but Traffic seems kinda hard. I mean streaming live is not a huge USP - Was it back when you created Twitch? Something in me thinks that at least pron streaming would be a thing at the time :P

[mcawesome]

your intro gets annoying when binge watching your videos

[rafael.beirigo]

Justin, talk more about FAILURES!!!
I hear left and right that I should love them, bla bla, but it stings like hell!
It really does alleviate the pain to hear people sharing their failures, especially successful people!
Love you man
Peace
