At this point Twitch slowly but surely became OnlyFans 2.0

Twitch has always been about whoring. And I'm not just talking about girls showing cleavage or whatever. People whore for their viewers to donate, and the viewers whore for their senpais to notice them. It's just an annoying concept. inb4 "there's exceptions, especially for smaller streamers" - I know, I don't care. It's just a matter of time and growth potential for most. It's part of the commercialization and it happens even on YT now too.

Me watching Vinesauce just play games and talk about music or whatever: 💀

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Yup. That's why I only watch one Twitch streamer (seems to not care about than nonsense) and a dozen or so YouTube channels (most are also decent). I've tried watching the more mainstream channels, and it's pure cancer.

I agree, the concept in general is incredibly annoying and why I am actively looking for alternatives elsewhere. I'd much prefer a model like Nebula (signup is $5/month) or Odysee (platform fees; Odysee channels set their own prices). Or maybe a pay-per-watch micropayment option through something like GNU Taler (let me watch the first 30s or so for free, then pay to continue).

But the current ad and public tip model just encourages distasteful behavior.

i dont get what you said because half the words are censored.

i just fucking might. are you guys federating with zucc?

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

200 sh.itjust.works users voted not to federate with Threads. Far fewer in favor.

Man, censoring words as a platform is such an advertiser-suck-up strategy that it’s wild an instance in the fediverse would even consider it. Really rubs me the wrong way!
