Shit like this really pisses me off man.
Twitch repeatedly tells creators how they don't make money and that live stream platforms aren't profitable and they use this naritive to do predatory monetization changes and justify bad revenue splits for almost every creator on the platform.
Then so shamelessly they will publicly burn money on the most expensive form of cloud computing to create a feature that no one fucking asked for and have it enabled by default for everyone.
They did this with A.I clipping that 0 people use and now A.I stream summaries.
All I want @Twitch is for there to be at least one person on the product team that actually uses the platform regurally and doesn't just work on it.
This also begs bigger questions like what is the point in building a global team of partner managers, who's main job is to collect feedback and help creators, if your not going to bother listening to them.
Nufuli is my best friend. A 19 year old man who has struggled with the weight of the world on his shoulders for years, more weight than most adults bear on a regular basis.
We’ve known eachother for nearly 5 years and I’ve never known him as anything other than a kind person with one of the craziest work ethics I have ever seen. This 17 then 18 and now 19 year old man took on the sole responsibility of supporting an entire family onto his back. And day in and day out, sleepless nights one after the other, he continues to rise to the occasion and provide.
But now, his family has taken a very substantial loss. After years of standing strong and battling with immense illness, Nufuli’s father has passed away. It’s heartbreaking to see this news come to light, both he and this community have lost a beautiful soul.
But I’d like to draw attention to the fact that this isn’t the end of the story. I’ve spoken with Nufuli a lot over the last 24 hours and I couldn’t be more proud of him. He’s adjusting and learning on how to deal with this change along with the pain and grief that comes with loss.
But even so, Nufuli needs a break, but that’s not something his family can afford without our help. Because of this, I want to put out a call to action on some goals for Nuf and his Family.
In the replies I’ve linked his Ko-Fi that you can use to support him and his sister during these troubling times. Please do what you comfortably can and support this family in need.
Also stay tuned for events in the coming days, I’ve talked with an event organizer to set up an event with viewer donation incentives, more information including a roster and event details will be given soon.
Every dime of the proceeds will go straight to Nufuli & his sister.
Thank you all for your help and everlasting support, and rest in peace to Nufuli’s dad.
