If you watch almost any gaming channel on Youtube now, they are often part of a larger group of friends who make videos together, giving their videos well established dynamics as well as allowing viewers to identify with and follow specific points of view.
In , the Yogscast was the most subscribed Youtube channel in the UK and, due to their Minecraft content, alongside some fortunate changes to the Youtube algorithm and the growing popularity of Minecraft , were continuing to gain subscribers rapidly.
Looking to use their new platform meaningfully, in December , Lane, Brindley and the other Yogs held the first series of livestreams to raise money for charity.
That year they raised over , dollars. In , they did it again, raising almost , dollars. The success of these livestreams encouraged the Yogscast to found a tradition. Each year the Yogscast Christmas livestreams for charity have represented one of the most positive forces of the Christmas season.
By , the growth of the channel and the use of the website humblebundle. Since then, the Yogscast and the Jingle Jam has only grown, raising a total of almost 18 million dollars. Since , the Yogscast and the Jingle Jam has only grown, raising a total of almost 18 million dollars. This year, albeit slightly shortened by Covid, the Jingle Jam once again raises its snowy head, with 14 days of livestreams, and a new bundle of games available to be earned by donating.
This is possible due to developers generously donating these games to be distributed to donors, which shows how the Jingle Jam is a true centre of positivity for the gaming community. Something extra special about the Jingle Jam as a charity event is how it allows donors, and content creators, to donate to something they truly believe in, while still contributing to a larger effort which inspires others to get involved.
This year there are twelve different charities that will be donated to, and the best thing about it is that you can choose how your money is divided up between them. This is great for two reasons. Firstly and obviously, if there is an issue you really care about, or a charity you really believe in, you can donate there. Secondly, and importantly, whichever creator is on stream can encourage you to support a charity close to their heart.
This leads to every member of the Yogscast, and the many guests involved, working incredibly hard and putting out some of their best work. For example, a Yogscast member I have enjoyed watching for years is Zoey Proasheck. As the schedule begins to fill up for the first week of the Jingle Jam, I am extremely excited for December.
As someone who absolutely loves Christmas, the Yogscast live streams are one more thing that make this time of the year the best time of the year. These increases can mostly be attributed to an increase presence on Twitch and the doubling in size of the bundle. In , the Jingle Jam saw massive changes. For the first time since , donations were no longer handled through Humble Bundle and instead Tiltify was used.
A game bundle was still available through a donation, but the option to chose a charity outside the official charity list no longer existed. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the difficulties of finding streamers to host near the end of the month, this years event only lasted the first 14 days in December, the first time such a change occurred.
