Just a PSA. We won't be able to stream for the foreseeable future.
We have been flagged by Starlink for breaking ToS.
No idea what that means as nobody can tell us anything.
They have throttled our line to 0.5 down and 2 up.
It's going to cause massive issues for us as the internet is how we make a living.
I'm fighting it tooth and nail but the system is either talking to Grok and or a rep that doesn't understand tech speak and won't come off the script.
I've combed through every inch of the TOS update and we haven't done any of the do's and or don'ts on that list.
So obviously. No streams. Sorry.
Just 24hrs please! Universe! It's all we are asking.
@Starlink@elonmusk My 85-year-old father has dementia and relies on TV to stay calm.
We live in the middle of nowhere in rural desert with no neighbors. We don't run any businesses or enterprise.
We just use Residential Max for home streaming and daily life. Starlink flagged us for "business or enterprise use" but refuses to explain what we supposedly did or show any evidence.
When I asked if they were forcing us onto expensive Local Priority just to downgrade next month, they closed the ticket and hung up. This is the second time. My dad can't watch TV, he is becoming more distressed.
We can't work, and in a remote area we need internet for emergencies. Stop punishing. 2 family carers and an elderly man with dementia. Especially loyal customers for nearly 5 years.
Fix this now. Local priority data packets are too high cost for a low income household and not fit for purpose. Screenshots of the service we have received.
There's a rise again in companies and brands offering free products instead of paying for a content creators time.
Creating campaigns, scripting/editing videos. Making assets is all time consuming
If you have a heavily engaged following. Know your worth. You are more than a affiliate code and a box of energy drinks/glasses/mouse mat.
Brands have a budget for this very reason. Especially if they have approached you first.
Please don't fall for corporate marketing language like : "Let's try it for a month and see how it goes" Or my favourite. "We can give you exposure".
Please let's bring back the culture of saying no and not feeling guilty about it. It's your time and energy. Free shit doesn't keep your lights on and or pay your bills.
Honestly, trying to compare the 2 and speaking to old SBOC/Machinima staff.
I don't think I've ever had this amount of death threats and or aggression in my DM's since, The Weekly show.
To the entity and brand I used to be and run. @Kittencog_ and I are tiny in comparison.
Everytime we go live. Guaranteed I have a bunch of lovely individuals leaving me messages.
Is it the smaller pond scenario?!
The dumping ground scenario ?!
Yes, they are filtered to other messages.
Yes I ignore 98 percent of them.
That's not the point though is it ?!
This all branches from February. When everyone (Not everyone, but it felt like it with all the bitching) had a hard on for people getting editors pick.
I'm not sure where in the list of being a full time carer for an 84 year old father with dementia, (While having several chronic illnesses). No life.
Wildfires, extreme heat, earthquakes, floods, hail as large as baseball fucking your car. (This is just a shortlist) Is seen as winning?!
Just to make things clear for those in the back.
Yes. We are still financially destitute, but we do our best with what we have.
Yes. We are still losing our home.
Yes. My health is in the toilet.
Yes. We are at our limit.
We still go live near enough every day. With a smile and are thankful to be here.
Those that support us. Those that believe in what we're doing. We see you, we love you for it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ♥️
The rest of you drama llama. Pick me.
Ego tripping Dickheads.
Or those that feel messaging on a burner account makes you feel like a big man. Or makes that micro penis any larger.
Fuck. Off.
Much love 😘
(Felt cute might delete later)
So disappointed in so many people today.
Cowards with no backbone.
The "I'm on the spectrum" doesn't wash with me, Aspie, ADHD w/e doesn't give you carte blanche to be a piece of shit.
Grow up.
Learn some fucking manners.
Respect is earned not demanded.
Don't be a dickhead.
Thanks.
