PSA: A heads up for those (kindly) supporting us with game purchases today: 1. Kiln and Keeper are getting permanent price changes soon! 2. All our games on Steam are getting international price adjustment reviews! 3. It's Psychonauts 2's birthday next week, which means a sale!

Affiliates, be aware that these campaigns often have *very bad* rates. The max payout, usually less than $1/ccv anyway, is often unattainable because of fine print on the “completed views” rate. We talk about this in the partner discord a lot, but some streamers might not know how bad offers are.

Twitch is opening the Sponsorship Dashboard to all Affiliates and adding an integration with Wehype for third-party campaigns (seemingly replacing StreamElements).

This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

Hey folks, About that AI opt-out feature Twitch was talking about? It's not just the streamers that have to turn that off. EVERYONE has to turn it off, because anything on your account, including the clips you make, will be fed to that infernal, ignominious devil machine if you don't. /1

🌸I haven't talked a lot about twitch's AI stuff other than I have it turned off🌸 You know what I hate most about it? Someone I dearly love who is no longer with us CAN'T turn off the AI scraping. And this goes for all deceased creators. Shamelessly grave robbing. Tainting their memory. Fuck Twitch.

I'd argue that, for the metrics, it's vastly MORE important that viewers turn this off. There's more viewers than streamers, so even if every streamer turned this off, if viewers don't, the executives can still claim that "most users don't care" and cram it down our throats even harder. Opt out.

Even if you're just a viewer and not a streamer, tell them through metrics that you reject AI: Twitch.tv > Settings > Security and Privacy > Training for Generative AI: OFF

Hey y'all! I finally finished and uploaded my "AI Opted Out" graphic asset for Twitch! It can be used as a panel and/or an overlay element. It is 100% free but if you'd like to help me afford some HEPA filters for my asthma you can tip my ko-fi! Download: ko-fi.com/s/d80815996b Examples in 🧵

A square promotional graphic. The background is a pale yellow geometric honeycomb pattern. In the center is a frame with a thin brown outline, rounded corners, and a transparent white background. At the top of the frame in bold tan lettering is the title which reads "Free Twitch Panel & Overlay Asset". Underneath the title is significantly smaller text that reads "320x250". Below that is the subtitle that reads "multiple color options". Under the subtitle is the advertised graphic asset design. A large bold black text "AI" with a red crossed out circle above it. Just below it is slightly smaller, bold and bubbly red text that reads "opted out". The design is outlined in white, and then outlined in a slightly thinner black.

🚨PSA For Twitch Streamers Moving to YouTube! YT has (unfortunately) automatically enrolled creators in AI features for over a year and you must turn off MULTIPLE settings in YT Studio to avoid it! ➡️Under Advanced Channel Settings, make sure to turn off AI Training, AI Dubbing, + AI Enhancements!

So uh, this sure doesn't even mention the opt-out they just added does it? And the opt-out text says it doesn't affect what's mentioned in the privacy notice. This really makes it look like opting out effectively does nothing.

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.
