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.

This new Twitter ToS update is concerning to me.

They've added lines allowing content posted to be used in AI training models specifically calling out allowed use in generative AI. The image on the left is the previous ToS from October 9th. The image on the right is the new ToS from October 16th.

This platforms best use continues to be for shitposting.

Last night I integrated automod in addition to what spam filtering Sery_Bot does. When certain bot messages come through, the term they use is added into automod.

The bot has already added over 8000 entries to Twitch streamers since I added it, only 8 hours ago.

@ChrisGethard Really enjoyed this episode! Really appreciated the caller's energy — definitely needed it after the last few weeks. And like you said, it gave me some hope!

As a side effect of the DJ Program, all Twitch streamers will be policed (presumably starting September 1st) under a new enforcement system.

Creators who use music as a part of your content, please be aware of this.

@AyumeYatto I've always enjoyed using it — offers a good array of tools and features as well as a perpetual license if you go that route — so I think it's at least worth trying out. Just checked and they do still offer a free trial. They seem to have a sale a couple times a year, too, iirc
