In my opinion, I think showing the death itself is a bit … people already call you selfish for suicide and I'd rather not be ostracised after death too even if I can't see it. It's really, really cruel how people think nowadays. I always see it.

Anyways, a lot of livestreams, for jumping in particular, show the individual taking the leap but not the aftermath. Such things, what are everyone's thoughts about it? I think that it's more sad than anything because it's a last attempt to leave a mark of yourself in the world. Attention seeking, sure, although I wouldn't even consider that a negative thing AT ALL because I know that I personally would hope that people at least 'knew I existed' before I died.

Little personal story
Last year, actually just two days ago last year, I attempted to CTB via drowning in a river and failed. Got hospitalized, all that, when I got home, I noticed a local news article was posted about me, vaguely.
The majority of the comments were just mocking me, saying things along the lines of how I'd walk looking like a monster (gif included), grow a third nipple, making jokes and guessing whether I was a runaway 'Mexican?' I felt miserable, I just wanted to die all over again. Even to this today, while I know to them it was just a small joke they made on the whim and probably forgot about, I still feel completely humiliated over my failed attempt hence why I'm so hesitant in the case of again, messing up just for a similar case to happen.

That's why, as someone who thought as I was being discharged to go home how I'd maybe make a turn around in life just to see that…! (And I hadn't even live-streamed anything nor posted a single message hinting to my attempt.) Those who livestream themselves lest it's on TikTok or the like and they have a full screen 1080p of their skull blown; I think that's just a bit too much… don't deserve to be hated more so than pitied.

ok thanks for coming to my tedtalk

First of all I am sorry to hear you went through all that.

Secondly as for my opinion on livestreaming ones attempt. I don't know, I wouldn't do it even if it was my last attempt at getting attention or sending a message. I'd be afraid of who found the video/recording/Steam first. I don't want to scar anyone with my death, especially not the people I care about. But I am also not against other people streaming their attempts for the most part. Like you said, the people who stream them blowing their own head off might be too far. Other than that through eh.... if it helps the person or they get something out of it I don't mind people streaming it (not that I'll watch either way)
