Sorry to interrupt your scrolling but, i hope life gets better for you

I am understanding that there are personalities on that purple app which will never understand how it is to have to set boundaries. Because they have never had to set any through trauma or negative incident.

I loved the streamers world when i found JTV ages ago. I think too many of the wrong people rose to the top, and a lot skipped important steps to mature before finding popularity and money, turning this into a lower budget trash tv industry. Thanks to the ones who are decent

I'm doing my part This is how you should embrace Copilot AI:

I know shit sucks right now. But don’t fuckin give up dude. You got people who need you to not give up. Even if you feel like you don’t have anyone in your corner. You can only prove them all wrong about you, if you don’t fuckin give in. You got this. Whoever you are.

COVID-19 wasn't 3 years ago It was 7 years ago

@HeatherLaraTV Guess I’m redownloading Black Ops 2 for this one

nuketown 2025 is now set in the past, wtf 🥀

retweet if you actually just fucking hate AI

Damn Twitter really is just a horrible place.

Well, guess we are waiting longer then

Nah. Firstly, not qualified in any way (but thanks for thinking about me) mainly but there is one important reason I could never lead (or help lead) Twitch... What I would do is not popular. What I would do, people wouldn't like. What I would do would lose money. What I would do is change the system fundamentally. What I do to Twitch would most likely not work. What does that mean? It means if it were up to me, Twitch would become about video games again. No IRL, No politics, nothing that isn't directly related to gaming culture in some way. What Twitch was before it started to woo Amazon (with the introduction of IRL, relaxing the broadcast rules, especially around sexual content, etc). So what I'm saying it, what I would do is not only unfeasible, it's unrealistic to do what I'd want. It's not something I would do. IRL was a Pandoras Box... you can't turn it off. You can't disable it. Hell, at this point I'd argue a huge portion of the platform doesn't even play or care about video games. And that's a one way process. That isn't something you "fix". It's not something me (or anyone) could go in and bring back. And also, to put it bluntly, at this point there are so many IRL/Non-game viewers that it wouldn't be right to turn it off. Twitch isn't about video games anymore. Sure, it has them, but they are no longer the star of the show. They're just another cast member. Now what's all this mean? It means I (or anyone) shouldn't want to change that. IRL is here to stay on Twitch and it's not going anywhere. So when people say things like this, my response? "I'd much rather someone with resources steps up to make the Twitch of old. A streaming site FOR gamers, BY gamers. Bring in a team of experienced industry leaders that made streaming what it is (@djWHEAT, @Fwiz, etc) and make a board of leaders that understands that the focus is casters, games and viewers. THAT'S IT. Keep overhead as low as possible in the company to keep all the splits as high as possible. Rebuild paradise in a new format." That's the future I'd like to see. IRL and all non-game content having a consistent home that doesn't go anywhere (the current Twitch) and the core gamers of Twitch having a chance to return to that magical place we used to live in. A place where everyone we see and chat with shares our passion. A place for GAMERS. Would this be financial feasible? I think so. A streamlined company would allow for higher sub splits, encouraging casters. I feel many game casters would also flock to the site as it could be built with all the same features of Twitch but more gaming-angled widgets. On top of that, the lack of IRl/Non-gaming means a beefy enforcement team would make the platform FAAAAR more attractive to advertisers (assuming the numbers would be anywhere close lol) in terms of content and, especially in gamedev cases, making sure the audience that sees your advertisement actually wants your products). Basically, yeah, it would need some love but I absolutely think a new platform would be viable. Over time. Hell, Bezos could fund this himself and just make it a sister site to Twitch. 🤣 But yeah, nothing in this tweet is new. I feel like a lot of us have felt this way over the years. We kinda feel like we lost our home. And we want to go home.

hello everyone, I am okay and thank you for all of the kind messages, sorry I cannot respond to them all 🩷 Yesterday, the man who assaulted me was allowed to cross multiple barriers at twitchcon and even in front of another creators meet and greet to grab me and my face and try to kiss me. Fortunately he wasn't able to, but a lot of people have pointed out it could have been a lot worse! I'm obviously shaken up by what happened and it's not the first time I've dealt with something like this, but to tell you honestly, I am a lot more hurt and upset by how Twitch handled it during and after the fact. Like I said, I don't understand how he was allowed to make it to me in the first place. The security in the clip who reacts is my own security (it's true my favorite and usual security guard was banned for holding a stalkers arm to bring him to police, at a past Twitchcon) However, there were at least 3 or 4 other Twitchcon security staff in the area who did not react and let the guy walk away, as you can see in the clip since they don't even appear in the frame LOL The woman who is walking me away is my own personal manager, and behind the booth, the only two people who were checking on me and comforting me were her and my friend. None of the Twitchcon staff came to ask what happened or if I was okay. My friend who was present told me Twitch security were also behind the booth afterwards joking about how they didn't even see what happened and immediately laughing and moving on to talking about something else. So if no one was checking if I was okay or if I needed anything and they let the guy run away initially, I have no idea what anyone hired to keep the event safe was doing LOL In Twitch's statement they said that the guy was immediately caught and detained, I'm sorry but that is a blatant lie. He was allowed to walk away from my meet and greet and I didn't hear he was caught until hours after he attacked me, and it felt like this only happened because of my manager pressing for it, not because Twitchcon staff present thought it was a big deal. I have a lot more I want to say but I will say it on stream later today instead of writing a book on here. Thank you guys again, sorry you all had to see that. This is definitely my last Twitchcon, and it saddens me to say as a 10 year off and on attendee of Twitchcon, I think other creators should seriously consider not attending in the future. I did not feel cared for or protected, even bringing my own security and staff. I can't imagine how creators without those options would feel. Stay safe y'all, everything is going to be okay

Look This is really easy Video games are for entertainment. If you aren’t entertained with one, then find a game that does that for you. I find games I don’t like all the time. You don’t need to explain your reasons to anyone. Go enjoy. Life’s too short man.

@DrippyLifts Definitely should get back into it in the future!

I miss streaming tbh
