[I will be focusing on my new instance /c/[email protected]. If you would like to take over this community, just message me here or at [email protected]]
A community about everything livestreaming! Questions, advice, warnings, news, and maybe a sprinkle of self-promotion.
All are welcome of any platform, regardless of FOSS or not.
Be respectful, and do not harshly judge other's preferences or ideologies for streaming. You can still disagree, but be civil about it.
No hate speech, bigotry, etc
Self-promotions should be contained within periodic plugin posts for all. It's not against the rules to link to your socials if it feels pertinent to the conversation or to provide examples.
After discovering that those Tubers who report on Johnny Somali weren't giving the complete story by leaving things out or simply not telling them, I decided to watch a few of his streams when I discovered that we are on the same platform. I watched an earlier live stream that he did, then a little of the latest stream that I saw a few minutes of, and decided that I would watch the VOD when I got a chance. I heard that he was arrested, and saw a little on "15 minutes of shame". Since I had some time, I figured that I would jump to stuff leading up to the arrest. I then discovered that Parti suspended his account. WOW!!!
Yesterday, we released new Branded Content Guidelines that impacted your ability to work with sponsors to increase your income from streaming. These guidelines are bad for you and bad for Twitch, and we are removing them immediately.
Sponsorships are critical to streamers’ growth and ability to earn income. We will not prevent your ability to enter into direct relationships with sponsors – you will continue to own and control your sponsorship business.
We want to work with our community to create the best experience on Twitch, and to do that we need to be clear about what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. We appreciate your feedback and help in making this change.
People are pointing out that the support page has changed, but the ToS has not been updated yet. However, I assume it would have to pass through legal wording first.
