FAQ

HermitCraft

When did Joe Hills join HermitCraft?

Joe Hills joined HermitCraft in week five of HermitCraft Season One.

How did it feel to be invited to join HermitCraft?

When initially asked to join HermitCraft, Joe Hills felt dubious and curious.

Hills knew no other Hermits and had no idea what HermitCraft was, but the pitch sounded reminiscent of webcomics hosting scams from the turn of the century where authors signed away their intellectual property to scummy web hosts in order to save a few bucks hosting their own work. Since there was no contract required to join the server, Hills accepted out of curiosity to try and sleuth out the angle. When no mal-intent surfaced, Hills stuck around because HermitCraft was interesting and fun.

Why aren’t there VODs of every livestream?

There are several reasons Joe Hills does not create video-on-demand of every livestream:

  1. Creating VOD-friendly streams is a distraction from spontaneous creativity directed toward a contemporaneous audience.
  2. Predatory copyright claims against VODs are a constant challenge for anyone who creates their own music rather than licensing music from established services.
  3. VODs are several-hours long and correspondingly time-consuming to edit and re-upload.
