- Twitch’s new anti-bot system caused viewer counts to nosedive across hundreds of channels, with some losing over half their displayed audience.
- Channels running 24/7 reruns saw the biggest drops, with Mira falling from 2,000+ to under 200 viewers overnight.
- The cleanup affects sponsorship deals and ad rates since brands have been paying premium prices for audiences that were partially fake.
You guys are so pathetic with this PirateSoftware shit
Yeah he’s an arrogant nerd. Who actually gives a single goddamn shit? Oh my god I feel like I’m going insane
People on the internet are doing crypto rugpulls, AI is useless but it’s going to make us all unemployed and blacken the sky
“But he played WoW really bad this one time and my favorite stweemer got big mad”
Fuck off and fuck you
I suppose you may have missed the allegations of emotional abuse and sexual manipulation.
Plus it’s just fun to see douchebags lose. 🤷♂️
…yes, yes I did miss that wtf
Got any link for that? That’s news to me

I’m not sure if I’m more surprised that there’s a website dedicated to this, or that the
.sucksTLD is a real thing that exists lol…JFC. That poor dude, manipulated by a sociopath.
People no longer (only) hate him for being dog shit at wow, they hate him for much more serious things now.
I think he’s also the guy who tried to cause the petition for saving video games to fail
He just said he didn’t agree with it. Like, poor take but really? Sabotage? Press X to Doubt
He made at least two YouTube videos negatively covering it, saying how it’s bad for the industry and shit and said he’d actively tell people not to sign it. Why do you keep defending him if you don’t know?
Expressing your opinion on something is not sabotaging it. He’s done plenty of bad shit (including relating to SKG) but negatively covering things and actively trying to make sure the thing you don’t want to pass isn’t passing is just political participation in the same way that promoting SKG is.
Well, op never used the word sabotage. Just said tried to make it fail. And that’s what he did. He told people it was bad and to not sign. And people listened. If you check the signature timeline, there’s a clear dropoff after his videos.
And since the things he said were untrue, we don’t know if he actively lied or is just too stupid and misunderstood, but the effect was the same. It was never just about opinions. Me telling you the earth is flat or that gravity doesn’t exist is not just me expressing an opinion, is it?
Yeah my bad I just took that from the reply I think. He did try to cause it to fail, and I agree we can’t know whether he lied about things intentionally (but even if someone is generally a dick, I would presume innocence unless he’s actually a compulsive liar or something).
Yeah, dunno about compulsive liar, but he does appear to be unable to admit he was wrong which is just as bad, imo.
completely agree - if he sucks so much why dedicate so much mental space to an insignificant stranger who streams games or development or whatever online?
i guess people just love to follow minor e-celeb drama, but the biggest dunk you can make against someone like this is to just stop thinking and talking about them. reading people type about this stuff is like being in high school again lol
Exactly! Like I don’t even disagree with some of the points but like people are making cartoons about it and never cease to comment or shitpost like they took down fascism or something
I mean look how many downvotes I got, how many of those you think justify it by being like “bet you like him” in their head
