The only thing keeping Twitch free of the cult that is Qanon and the site being known as a right-wing haven is Twitch's ability to enforce its community guidelines so we're screwed https://twitter.com/...

Interesting to see. I remember when quarantine first started, I predicted that viewership numbers on Twitch would skyrocket but sub counts would drop. Already seen that i'm right about viewership. As always, good reporting from @stokel https://twitter.com/...

A few days ago, this Forbes article came out “Jessica Blevins, the 27-year-old manager and wife of the most popular video-game player in the world, reveals the inside story of Ninja's move to Microsoft's Mixer” I have some issues with it https://www.businessinsider.com/ ...
The Verge
Report: Ninja's manager says he left Twitch for Mixer because Twitch's contract was too restrictive on outside brand deals, limiting growth beyond gaming
Julia Alexander / The Verge :
What do you get for signing with companies, appearing in mainstream media productions, streaming games before release exclusively, etc.? Money. I would be way less critical if the Blevins said “Twitch's contract was restrictive of his earning potential, and we didn't like that”

Julia Alexander / The Verge :
It's a much easier and HONEST story around Amazon being a money-grubbing, exploitive company at times and that they didn't think it was right to be limited by one of the richest companies on Earth. I would be less critical if this dishonesty ended here. It doesn't.

Julia Alexander / The Verge :
What I'd like to see from Team Ninja is 1) Stop bullshitting us with this “back to our roots” nonsense 2) Stop selling this phony lifestyle to kids 3) When are selling stuff to kids, disclose it better 4) Get better, khed /thread
