The VTubers are starting to leave too, because they get bans for even slightly provocative stuff while OnlyThots in string bikinis and extremist non-whites get away with the most disgusting stuff. The recent issue that came up with said extremists getting their own suspensions is probably because Twitch is finally starting to realize how bad the two-tier policies are getting, and they are going to lose their money makers if they move to Kick.

They are also being VERY bitchy in how they ban them too. They banned Nayanners for showing a game where you slap an ass, that's it. She just opens up her YouTube account to stream there and next day she's apparently unbanned mysteriously.

It's not just that they are bitchy to vtubers, they're actually weak as shit too when the recipient CAN easily fight back using an alternative platform.

It's now illegal to allege that someone is allowed to skirt the rules because of fucking Twitch mods. Not illegal to give the benefits to whores, but illegal to talk about it.

I wouldn't be surprised, ironically the banning of Asmongold for 2 weeks opened the door for the ADL to come in who have DEEP ties to advertisers so now they are taking hits from both sides now.

Advertisers are a scourage on content creation. Not because people whore themselves or being clickbaity.. but advertisers dictating what can be allowed on a platform. Sure. Within reason is fine like hardcore porn or real life gore. But.. geeze.

Advertisers are a scourge, period. They are a profession more evil than doctors, lawyers and politicians combined.

The internet worked just fine when all the ads were for itself. Money Grubbing International Bankers ruin everything.

The days of people actually associating advertisers with the content, unless it is actually sponsored (and not just advert roll), are long gone. They're not worried about extremist content.

At best, presuming that it's not malicious mass social manipulation (which it almost certainly is), they're worried about the audience. And worried isn't the right word, but rather they know that people who are invested in "extremist" content aren't interested in ads, and they're largely useless in selling a product through that method. It's a waste of money to pay for advertising on a platform that has people who are never going to buy your product because they're jaded. And that goes for any isle of "extremism", which is also the wrong word.

But it's all pointless because it's almost with 99.9% certainty that the reason is for mass social manipulation.

Oh, so Hassan Picker will be banned for his Pro-Hamas, Pro-Terrorism, Pro-Communism, and literal Pro-Yemini Pirate stance?

You know, when he literally cheered on and did a live interview with a pirate?

That extremist content?

No?

Weird.

Is Musk still suing ad boycott organizers? Maybe Twitch/Amazon should get in on that.

The UK labour government and unelected EU technocrats are a big push behind this.

check out matt taibi.

If Trump wins he should put Elon in charge of punishing the EU for their attack on US free speech and internet.

Is there any reason why a streamer would use a single platform exclusively?

If I streamed, I'd target all available platforms simultaneously. That way, I'd get more exposure and damage mitigation if I got banned somewhere.

I don't get why there are "twitch" streamers instead of everyone being a universal streamer. Is it laziness or what?

i don't know if they still do it, but exclusivity deals were a thing.

Even then, those would be an insignificant minority.

I wasn't talking about the 1% of streamers, but all the rest instead. Why are they exclusive?

at one point it might have been a requirement to be a twitch partner that you not stream anywhere else.

A lot of the big streamers on Twitch have stifling contracts. Some allow you to simucast to other platforms, but when you are doing things like your bounties, you can't stream that to another platform. So you gotta shut down your stream on YouTube. Same with not allowing your reward chimes (like the default noises for bits, subs, etc) to play on other platforms (in some contracts), or have your Twitch chat feed with it's proprietary emotes appear on screen on other platforms, so rather than deal with a complicated filter/split cast a lot of them just do the old live on Twitch, upload VOD later to other platform. The rules are just convoluted, especially as it is not standardized across all contracts/partnerships. It's intentionally petty.

Guy with no access to numbers is claiming shit.
His other predictions include music companies scanning livestreams (in case of vods being restricted/deleted) for copyrighted content and streamers will be banned aaaaany minute now.
And that Faze clan will 100% surely go bankrupt due to the Tfue situation.

It coincides with him coming back to streaming. He is a retard with a loud mouth and no internal access.

Do I believe some advertisers might have left Twitch? Yes. But until we hear something from streamers that ad revenue is down (so after current contracts expire) we don't know any impact.
