For season 9 they offered me like $3k to draw and animate the sidekicks for the princess challenge, and I would’ve been thrilled to do it. I couldn’t because I had a noncompete with BuzzFeed. But you’re telling me a show that broke viewership records this season can’t afford to throw a few grand to a real artist to do portraits of the queens?
Twitch had a security breach that forced a lot of accounts to reset their passwords. Afterwards, twitch tweeted out that there was nothing to be concerned about. Apparently there was lol. My payout information was changed, without my knowledge, to some random checking account that I don’t know. And I want to be transparent in that we really needed the money from this. I had $1,150 stolen from me from my December earnings and twitch is refusing to help. I don’t think I’m going to get this money back. Every single sub, gift sub, bit, and ad revenue that I earned by being an entertainer was stolen from me AND my community who chose to support me. And I don’t expect anything more from my amazing community, but what I will say is that if Twitch is not going to rectify this, then I will no longer actively encourage subs or bits, where twitch takes a huge cut. Going forward, I will probably push for direct tips/donos because 96% of that money goes directly to the creators. Sorry about the rant, but this came at a time when morale was already low for me and I’m also pissed on behalf of my community who chose to support ME, and not the multi million dollar corporation.
Sorry to eBeg, but I will repeat that if anyone is able to help or support in any way then here is a link to donate, as we try to escape to Puerto Rico and flee from the looming threat of ICE in the US. Thank you https://t.co/gvllPVsH8s
Here was the response that Twitch gave me:
