Hey @Twitch, driving while streaming is deadly. I've worked with hundreds of disabled people who were victims of someone who was distracted while driving. Their lives are changed forever. If a streamer hits someone and puts them in a wheelchair, you're just as much at fault because you could have banned this behavior but chose not to. Don't wait until the unthinkable happens to make a decision that could save a life preemptively. People can still stream IRL in a car, just not while driving.
Every single person who streams and drives should be perma banned. They keep getting second, third, fourth chances - this isn't "oh I watched a copyright movie on stream" kind of shit. Cars are dangerous machines and if someone dies, the lawsuit against twitch will kill the site.
I had actually forgotten I wrote this feels more apt today than back then: "It is increasingly difficult to be positive and productive while Rome burns."
I am an award-winning Twitch ambassador with over $3,000,000 raised for charity, 90-150 CCV, and a loving community. I am also convinced I am not a good streamer. You never truly believe you are good enough, worthy of people's attention and time. Be kind to yourself. If you're doing the best you can do, give yourself credit for doing the best you can. It's a tough, competitive hobby, and an even worse business. Focus on building a community you love, and that loves you; that's the only way to win.
@FeranzyFPS There is no point in posting nonsense just to get a reaction unless you are in the content creator program to monetize it. This reeks of uninformed rage-bait.
The gutting of the games industry as a whole has been painful to watch. From DEI to peripherals to studios. During my time in the games industry, I have met so many amazing people, but only a fraction of them are still in games. 💔

Asmongold gives his BASED opinion, says: "You're not being oppressed by the top 2% of society. You're being oppressed by the bottom 2% of society instead 👀
"People ain't gunna like this one: the bottom 2% of society have caused all of the manifest problems in your lives”
@KawaiiGuyCom Back when you were running things, I would get a lot of sponsorship offers from companies with products on Amazon. Twitch told me once that a $200 sponsorship to me would get the company $600 because my community was small and they trusted me. Trust is worth a lot.
@CrReaM@QueenieandBlue My ccv is something like 130-140 and I usually get Twitch automated offers of $55. The direct ones are much better, although agency ones are still usually the best.
