I think its an issue because you're playing a game on your channel and people chat with you and donate money. But then I set up screen capture software to record your stream and then stream THAT on my channel. Now people that should be in your channel are in mine, thinking I am you. I am in the chat playing the part, nobody knows otherwise. they are also donating money to me that would have otherwise went to you.

Speaking of being mod of GBS for a couple of hours, remember when El Spider got modded despite never actually posting in GBS (I think he lurked QCS and was in the right place at the right time)? He didn't get the sarcastic tone and probated Applewhite (a decent content poster) for saying something like "kill all dogs to protect the children."

Then, when El Spider was probated, he figured out that the only way to communicate was in the "reason" text on people's rap sheets, so he probed a bunch of people and left desperate screeds begging to be un-probated.

That is not it.
Stream sniping is when you queue up in a game with a popular streamer (either by accident, or specifically jump lobbies to find them or whatever), and then watch their stream to know what they are doing in the game to gain some advantage, and utterly destroy them. That's it.

Sounds like a valid strategy :shrug: I mean if you broadcast your position in a combat situation in IRL life, some dude is going to carpet-bomb your dumb-rear end rear end.

Gotta step up your game of using real tactics for video games: use the broadcast to figure out where they live and send some goons to break their computer. Win by default.

Wrong, that's actually kinda funny and beneficial to society. Then again, I think video game streamers are incredibly dumb and should be mocked so YMMV.
