@elonmusk nice to see you got a single win tonight elon, I'm sure daddy trump and the republican establishment will take this as a consolation prize for your complete fucking failure in every other race you tried to influence tonight
@eelthusiast @NNNo1tra@sunshineblxster nowhere in my statement did I say they are. My point is that its easier to mask other forms of oppression like transphobia, homophobia, misogyny etc. by just putting the word "white" in front of it.
@NNNo1tra@sunshineblxster because it makes it sound less transphobic to specifically target trans women for large age gaps, if you put white in front of it
alright, yall know what to do.

Im gonna miss this shitty little hell trash hole, I really will. If you're an oomf and we've even vaguely interacted before I hope to see you on the not-shitty twitter
Okay, so for my few oomfs that see my tweets, I'm leaving this app. It seriously is contributing to my current depressive spiral post-election, and I can't handle it anymore. If you want to keep in touch DM me for my discord, otherwise seeya
With all due respect why are people still telling us to contact our representatives when bad bills are coming up for a vote? When is the last time that actually worked? I think we have a failure to acknowledge reality when we are pretending democrats respond to the public will.
Congress is working to pass a bill that would have a devastating, chilling effect on free speech and give the Trump administration power to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits without due process or even a clear explanation (1/3).
Retweet and Like this tweet for a chance to win our new monitor buddiez!
3 winners will be chosen on Nov 22nd! - @YouTooz will Reach out to the winners via DM after the 22nd! So follow them too!
For those not understanding how I can have this take. Behold the Burrito Index.
We've been tracking ad revenue on Twitch for years and calculating the total amount of 5-Layer burritos I could buy with it. It's been a great meme in the community and is now insanely relevant.
We've even calculated in the cost of the burrito over time and how that has increased with inflation. July 2023 was when it crossed the threshold making it over 1$ per layer as an example.
This index is normalized for per viewer per ad minute so and takes the cost of the burrito into account as a metric of inflation. As such the BPM Per Viewer is the best indicator of Twitch ad value over time. Higher number means more healthy ad revenue.
What do we learn from this?
There is no adpocalypse and all ad revenue is still following normal adspend trends across the board. Twitch has had some anomalies in the past such as October 2023 being very low for some reason and March 2024 being very high. Anomalies in an otherwise standard dataset that I wish I had answers for.
If you'd like an even more sanitized comparison I can do the same for our ferret rescue stream because that broadcast still runs ads for subs which means it removes that fluctuation from the equation.
Burritos are the source of truth.
There is no Twitch Adpocalypse.
The reason people are seeing no ad revenue for the "last two days" is because none of us ever have. Twitch calculates ad revenue for a stream 3-4 days later which has always been the case. It shows as no ad revenue until that calculation is done. Only Twitch Turbo revenue is shown immediately in terms of adrev displayed.
The reason some streamers were seeing reduced ad-fill rates was because of their content and tags. If you had a tag with sexual or political themes of any kind you stopped getting ad-fill. This is also normal on any other platform but now enforced by Twitch haphazardly through the tagging system. Tags are shit at this and led to a lot of splash damage because they don't take into account context. This used to be done by content category so the tag change is absolutely new. We've seen this tested by streamers removing their tags and immediately getting adrev back again.
An adpocalypse would denote that this is happening to everyone on the platform. It's not. Our income is exactly the same for this time of year as it ever has been. Don't have political or sexual content on your stream, category, or tags and nothing changes.
There are a lot of people blowing this up to be something massive when legit nothing is going on. In all of the cases provided it's either normal behavior or misused or mistargeted tags. It's also a lot of people suddenly discovering how ad revenue works on the platform.
This is all stuff I've worked with and understood for years. It's literally how we fund the ferret rescue which is run entirely on ads. If I didn't know how this worked none of our business would function.
No amount of bitching will make this untrue.
Kinda crazy to remember 8 years ago when North Carolina did this it sparked a massive nationwide backlash, caused the NCAA and a bunch of companies to cancel events, cost the state hundreds of millions in boycotts, and contributed to the defeat of the sitting Republican Governor
