THEY’RE BACK THIS YEAR TOO!! PRIDE BOWS 🎀🌈🌈🌈 feel free to stick them on your model or anywhere on your stream and have fun with them, happy pride!! 😌🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
A week ago, a viewer by the name of dr_death2004 charged back nearly $1.5k in donations he had sent me over the last few months and @Twitch@TwitchSupport does not care. At least 5 other streamers (some of which will be tagged below per their request) are also affected, and between all of us he has charged back over $2k in donations.
This was not a random scammer. This was a community member who was well established, and showed no red flags. He even had become friends with some of my mods. These donations took place over the course of months, and he even donated to people whom I raided (which are now unfortunately dealing with chargebacks as well.) On May 21st I received $400 in chargebacks through paypal from disputes on donations through my tip page. I ran to twitch, where most of his donations were, and money seemed unaffected (initially) which was a relief. As of two nights ago, this has changed. As you can see in my attached statement, I am down almost $900. Bits are currently unaffected, however he has donated 100k to me alone.
On May 21st the YT and Twitch account of dr_death2004 for were deleted, which led me to believe he filed chargebacks there as well. It took time for twitch to process things, but now that the money is missing I can confirm that is what happened. So far this viewer still has X and Discord, but has not been active or responding on anything.
Thanks to the paypal dispute, I can see he filed the charges as unauthorized/fraudulent (ie stolen card). I, as well as the others affected, have tons of proof that this is not the case. Not only do we have proof he was an active community member and consensual donor, but we also have personal info that proves it was his card being used. Because he was a friend to my community, we know his irl name which aligns with the name on the paypal disputes and other charges.
Despite providing twitch with this information, I have been entirely brushed off. Rather than actually responding to my ticket, they simply parroted the definition of what a refund is and why it happened. They mention an investigation, but it was obvious that none was conducted. Considering all of my evidence, as well as the other streamers involved, it is very obvious that his claims are all BS.
I don't know about you guys, but $1.5k is a lot of money to me. It is nearly my entire rent, and now it is gone. I fortunately still have enough to get by, but this should NOT be allowed (especially considering many donations are over 30 days old). I can't believe how twitch is handling this either, hence deciding to go public despite my initial desire to resolve things privately.
I don't like drama. I debut in less than a month, and this situation is not what I want to be known for. Despite that, the economy is bad and there are a lot of people being hurt over this. I have confirmed myself and 5 others are affected, but who knows how many others are too?
If dr_death2004 sounds familiar, please check your twitch payouts. If you have been affected, please reach out to me as I have a GC going with all affected streamers. No one deserves to go through this nightmare.
I have been struggling to sleep for days and am sick to my stomach with anxiety wondering what is going to happen next.
Twitch needs to step up and find a better system to protect their streamers, because this is ridiculous. I am not the first person who has been wrongfully charged back, nor will I be the last. There needs to either be an insurance policy in place for streamers, or twitch needs to get it together and do actual investigations rather than instantly siding with anyone who files a chargeback.
I saw a tweet a week ago of someone named @Hawkblooo dealing with a similar situation for $600, so this is no new problem. Twitch has enough money, and should be honoring everyone's payout. I can't believe this nightmare.
Likes and retweets are appreciated to not only spread the word, but also to try and get twitch to do something about this BS.

I've kept quiet because I believe in resolving things respectfully and professionally where I can, but given recent revelations about Carmana and Luminara, it's time to speak up about Vforge, and more specifically its CEO, Sunny. 1/7
I never wish to do a callout post on my own platform but I do feel this is important as I fear this person is a danger to women.
I cannot speak for the others who are true victims that i know are affected and been through worse. I was lucky and just saw behaviors that are triggering.
Me and the CEO of luminara, Camana, were seeing eachother the last 18 days and talking about being a couple. We met at Momocon in person and this is where I started to see red flags. All texts and conversations between us are primarily positive for we were trying to move on but after a discord call last night confirming my suspicions, I don’t have anything left to say to him. Due to respect I don’t wish to expose who the victim is and just stick to my own experience. But this is the reason I am making a post to begin with.
1. He was very pushy for sex. Granted we are adults and we talked about sleeping together during the weekend so this isn’t a surprise it’s just the way he would ask for it. Forcing my hand down on his member, dragging my hand across his erection in public even though I voiced plenty I’m not into public PDA to that extent, complaining about the condom, asking for a release and never getting one. Did he rape me though? No. I gave my consent to do it but it was uncomfortable.
2. He found one of his talents to be extremely beautiful. She is! No denying that, but to keep repeating it over and over how pretty she is and trying to buy her things? It made me feel like he wanted to spend time with her and find a way to build a connection with her so after I left, they could hook up. True or not true? Not sure, just a feeling. She didn’t buy it though.
3. Love bombing. During intercourse he said “I love you”. Idk about you but I can’t love someone after 18 days especially if seeing other people. Then yesterday he said “I love you” again before hanging up, texting me saying I said it…I’d never say that and he for sure did. Then telling me to move in with him and he will take care of everything for me. I seen this pattern before and I know the outcome. This is a narcissist.
4. Lying. Regards to the rape in question, no one outright said to me it was or isn’t. I only just met these people and I was a stranger to the group. So I took a backseat since I was confused I heard too many sides I didn’t know what was true what wasn’t. But last night I heard from Camana that everything is smoothed over. They talked. Everyone’s moving on. My gut was telling me otherwise. So the victim in question and I talked over discord last night and she said the exact same pattern Camana was showing me. The attention. The I love you, the let me fly you out and live with me. It was spot on. And no, nothing was smoothed over. The victim broke down in tears when I told her what he said and she got a confession apparently of him saying he did in fact rape her. Have I heard this confession? No. But do I believe Camana has the mindset and personality to be a manipulative person to get what he wants that could lead to a rape? 100%
As I said I was lucky. I wasn’t raped but I did and do feel uncomfortable after the con and learning more about him as a person. I would never take the time to write this if I didn’t feel he was potential threat. And even though I know he is leaving the community, I at least hope this is a lesson to be learned and actions do in fact have consequences.
I know this is a long read. But thank you for reading anyways.
Last night my community and I vibe coded a way for streamers to have their community share tik toks, instagram reels, youtube videos and twitch clips so the streamer can play them on stream. While other tools like this exist, literally none of them have ever allowed all these platforms to exist simultaneously and it annoyed me.
So we made it happen.
There's no need to login or anything, just give it the name of your channel and it reads from your chat so that links placed in your chat get sent directly to the player.
They do not auto-play unless you tell it to, you can delete clips, ban them so they never can be shared again by any user, ban specific users from sharing clips and even delete specific clips, your entire queue or the clip history.
There's mod support as well, a way to add clips internally in the player and a way to export your list of clips so that if you wanted to you can re-import them and come back later and finish watching with your community.
This is live right now. :)

Hi since it is now confirmed stream elements may be going away, i want to bring back my thread about my FAVORITE CHAT MANAGER OneComme PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY
HIGHLIGHTS:
💫: FREEEEEE !!! !!! !!! !!!
💫: multichat compatible!!!
💫: so many customization options
💫: lots of plugins for fun stuff like making a credits scroll
Also plugging my favorite community building feature -- you can set nicknames for chatters, and even save notes so it's easier to remember names and details!
I made a free, highly customizable, standalone chatbox (no StreamElements or StreamLabs required) for Twitch! So smooth. So buttery. So... Squonk. 🐦⬛
Ko-fi link for the download is in replies!
As much as it saddens us to hear the news around StreamElements, if they do end up shutting down, users will feel right at home with Lumia Stream’s overlay system.
StreamElements was actually one of our biggest inspirations when creating our own overlay platform.
One thing we’ve always focused on is making overlays easy to use without a steep learning curve. We also have tons of free overlays created by our amazing community and creators, along with the ability to easily build and share your own.
Our overlay system is completely free with no paid features locked behind it.
The paid Lumia Stream features are focused on the desktop app side of things like smart lights themes, variations, unlimited chat commands and even then, only a small portion of Lumia Stream is actually paywalled. Majority of our users have been just fine on our free version for years
We’ll continue doing our best to make the transition as smooth as possible for anyone looking for a new home. ❤️
I updated my Layer Guide + discounted!
