    About 8 BTC later, I sold for $250 ea. Seemed like a great idea at the time. Leave me alone, I need a drink.

    Yeah, the "request an unban" thing is only a few months old at this point. It's a questionably useful feature.

    You are not wrong. I really do need to take a break. I keep forgetting what happens to me when I try to argue here.

    His channel, and the CrossCounterTV channel, are both still intact. His global emote was removed. There are probably 5 billion versions of it on BTTV. And yes, there is equivalency. The decision to ban based on (obviously) spurious DMCA notices sits with Twitch. The decision to ban based on...

    What's being discussed? Is it this? Because I think it's ^ that. I posted an article showing that a bunch of lefty Twitch streams were temp banned during a political event, just as a bunch of righty content was banned yesterday. But, no, you're right. That has nothing to do with the content...

    This. Is. Not. A. Politics. Thread. That's also not the quote that Twitch cited as the reason for removing PogChamp. But, if you insist on following that red herring: Fake copyright claim takes down Twitch’s biggest political streamers during Democratic debate It happens to the Left, too. And...

    What a hypocritical crybaby. I remember seeing more than a few victory laps 4 years ago. Go drink yourself into a stupor for 4 years if you really think it'll be that bad and leave the rest of us to play/watch our games in peace.

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    I'm convinced now. You can't possibly be a parent. Also, why the fuck are we still giving this thread the time of day? His ban was upheld. Time to move on.

    You need better reading habits if you actually read that subreddit. You don't stream and say that you don't care. What the hell are you even doing in there? haha.

    This is why people need to think about controlling their shit remotely. In this case, literally controlling their shit, perhaps.

    It's probably a plant. There are no coincidences in streaming. The harder people try to inject drama, the more likely it's just some friend of theirs fucking with the chat.

    It takes some degree of patience and training yourself to ignore people like that. In the larger channels I'm in, the streamers have their mods deal with shit like that when it becomes necessary, and they kinda just keep their hands off of it, because if they give those people any credence at...

    Meh. It's not my thing, so I don't watch it. I don't do it either. Can't say I really get it, but it isn't harming me, so who cares? You're really angry at streamers in general. Why is this? Did a streamer touch you on your no-no spot, or do you just wish they would?

    Heh, I always love that the people who are judging streamers so harshly are probably Boomers anyway.

    What? The hell is wrong with your head? A few people have asked "is this just for you people with 5 to 10 viewers". I present a guy who is not only a multi-thousand viewer streamer, but the frontman of a band, and I get "lol you want to recite the law". Fuck off, seriously.

    Of course, you have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm not surprised that you're swinging your tiny dick around anyway. This place will never change.

    No, it isn't. You can (and do) still get live takedowns. VODs and clips are an afterthought.

    So far as I've been told, there is no way for them to do so. The labels don't care to talk to any individual as they're hyper-focused on the entire platform being a potential legal cash cow.

    I've been seeing this in particular situations only. It's really weird. I'll get ads, predictably, for certain streamers (even though I'm subbed), and not for others. It almost makes me think that they're tweaking ads as a staged rollout, like they do with most "new features".

    Why are you assuming that all of my friends have 10 viewers? Why are you assuming anything at all, in fact? Or are you one of those people who have nothing to do with the discussion, but can't stop themselves from opening their beaks with their irrelevant opinions? I bet you're great fun at...

    Oh, my bad, you know what's up here. What's your Twitch channel, and where are you getting your information? I'd like to read up and you're clearly more informed than I am.

    What Twitch is doing is ignoring the record labels entirely, several of which have reached out in an attempt to legitimize these activities (and make more money for themselves). They are literally sticking their head in the sand, at the expense of their streamers. And it IS copyright...

    I've been saying that for years. Good on you for finally listening. None of this has any bearing on the point I've tried to make several times, and is continuously being glossed over. Give us the ability to license the music and we will do so. We can't do it right now. This is dumb.
  34. Alkorin

    Twitch.tv

    Yeah, this does not happen in my stream, for sure. You can request, but you're in the same pile as everyone else, regardless of bits/subs/VIP/anything else. If you take money to play certain songs, regardless of why, you're a fool.

    Twitch.tv

    99% of everything I play is DMCA-able, not because I refuse to play things that aren't, but because music performance on Twitch is generally a supply-demand thing. Very few people are interested in hearing new things that don't have any play at all, and everyone wants to hear the things that...

    Twitch.tv

    To be fair to Twitch, this may not be exactly correct. Some partnered friends of mine have told me that Twitch pays performance licensing fees for some partners to use specific music on Twitch. The problem is that they don't let affiliates (which is what most, if not all of us, are) know what...

    We are literally incapable of paying for a license to use music on Twitch. This is the problem. This is what Twitch has to fix.

    They aren't "cracking down on words". They're taking more action on reports from users/mods/streamers. Good, about damn time.

    They aren't banning anything. They're changing the way tags work, hopefully, because they fucked up huge earlier this year and took away tags that people were using to identify themselves. They're also taking a tougher stance on sexual harassment, which is a good thing. They should have done it...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Not likely: It's either context/reputation based, or their routing is just fucked. Since they don't appear to understand technology, I'm gonna go with likely the latter.
