@DeltaCustBroma on flight DL4641 from JFK to BNA. We’re sitting on the tarmac waiting at BNA for a gate for over an hour now, AFTER being diverted to Chattanooga to refuel. We’re now almost 3 hours past arrival time. People just want off this plane. Find us a gate.

[Michael @mdanderson]

Thanks. Now do @GameWisp. Oh wait.

@StreamElements @Twitch Totally not mad that you guys neglected to do this 7 years ago and instead put @GameWisp out of business….nope, not mad at all…

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@HDCares @HDCares Any response here?

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@HDCares visited your location in Spring Hill, TN today, and a lady working there asked to survey us about our water quality. During the survey, she subtly insulted my wife and implied we don’t love our children if we let them drink tap water. Unacceptable.

@Litter_Robot new app update won’t communicate with LR3 anymore. A bunch of people on the subreddit with the same issues. Constantly having issues with this thing even before this week. I’m about ready to throw this thing out the window and go back to regular litter boxes.

@resonantdrifter @Sentient_Pickle @Kilg0re_Tr0ut @streamlabs @GameWisp But it’s also the cost of doing business. If your goal is to become a professional or semi-pro streamer, then you have to think about it like a business.

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@resonantdrifter @Sentient_Pickle @Kilg0re_Tr0ut @streamlabs @GameWisp Then crypto is your answer to all that 😜

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@Sentient_Pickle @resonantdrifter @Kilg0re_Tr0ut @streamlabs @GameWisp But what we learned from 5 years of running GameWisp, is that you only need a handful of really hardcore fans to do well.

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@Sentient_Pickle @resonantdrifter @Kilg0re_Tr0ut @streamlabs @GameWisp Given the option for both, sure. But if streamers went all-in on doing it themselves, and didn’t give other options, those hardcore fans would likely adopt more personal methods. Fair-weather fans, maybe not so much.

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@resonantdrifter @Kilg0re_Tr0ut @streamlabs @GameWisp Right, the value should be more personal coming from the streamer, and not generic things like badges and emotes.

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@hootener @BasedLaRock I agree. Band together but also, there’s a wealth of better ways to do this for yourself than rely on a platform. Building your own site (even through like Squarespace or something) and taking subscriptions is pretty trivial now.

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@BasedLaRock @GameWisp Our streamer-rescuing cape got put away into the dusty attic a long time ago and we all had to go get real jobs. But there’s always the memories!

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@ponycron18 They’ll love it until they abandon it for something new and shiny…streamers are a fickle bunch

[Aaron Middleton @amiddleton84]

@hootener @GameWisp Yes, yes they are.
