as a streamer, i hate this.
here’s why:
1. i would be terrified that they couldn’t actually afford this. they could put themselves in a horrible position.
2. OR they can’t afford and CHARGEBACK, which Twitch does NOT help with and could potentially put you into debt.
3. Twitch takes 30-50% of this, makes you wonder why they’re raising limits on gifting subs.
4. i’d love OTHER implementation that actually prioritizes community engagement & bonding.
5. i’d also love if Twitch focused on real issues — like their RECENT CONVENTION DISASTER(S)? 😭
wow if i had a nickel for every time i was blocked by a stranger things cast member, i’d have TWO nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice
as the guy who said it's not cool to give praise to right wing weirdos - i'd love if we stopped calling for the end of twitch streamers in general just because there's some weird news atm! streaming is cool and fun actually if you follow normal people :)
