Ya-ho~! I’m Maggie, a cheerful gardener Vtuber, occasional artist and enjoyer of indie games and retro anime. ☀️🌿 I - @harleequeen.bsky.social B - @onsta.bsky.social 🎨 #mbpaint | 🚫genAI 🌱 twitch.tv/maggiebirchvt 🌱 🌱 youtube.com/@maggiebirchvt 🌱

we have to think about how we call out hateful folks who say hateful shit because It Happened Again: a small vtuber with struggling numbers went on a transphobic screed, was justifiably called out, and then was immediately elevated by the rightwing chudtubers on X and their viewership went up 10x

viewership stats on twitchtracker showing someone's streams with a fairly stable plateau, declining slightly and then skyrocketing in the final month

Forcing AI on everyone, hoping they'll just give up and accept it, instead creating a hostile environment where Twitch's own streamers are now drawing attention to the issue and radicalizing their audiences. Mad funny how that worked out.

twitch has said that it won't be introducing labels to differentiate between channels that opt into amazon's ai training and those that don't. so streamers are taking matters into their own hands
