Hey, enable 2 factor authentication on your Twitch account and also wherever it's possible. Security is not convenience but getting multiple accounts stolen due to a leak is even less convenient for you.

I had a 103-month long subscriber streak on a channel there. I'd often just leave a channel like that open on my 2nd monitor as background noise. I quit all that poo poo and almost immediately noticed that I was less angry and on-edge daily. Turns out having people screaming bloody murder at Tetris all day long in your home is unhealthy. Screw that.

Look man although I've never gotten a subscription to anyone myself I do the whole Second screen too and... wtf is this? Like, i have never followed anyone that does any of this crap. I know it's there and popular or whatever but no one forced you to listen to some angry streamer guy for 8 years? Whole thing reads like "yeah, I like building houses but I hate how you have to smash your balls with the hammer every time you put up a wall". Like, that's not an inherent part of it, I don't get posts like this.

Easy. It was background entertainment. I didn't notice how much it was pissing me off for much of that time, though.

Full disclosure, it was the Lirik channel I was subscribed to. But there was so much screaming at viewers and rage quitting and cursing out games he was playing... I didn't snap to my senses until I said something in chat like "Man, this guy seems miserable and like he really doesn't want to be doing this anymore sometimes" and got permabanned for it. I had a moment of "Wait............... this goddamn place is toxic as hell" and peaced out.

I saw a clip of him playing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and he got the capital of Canada wrong (he's from Canada) and got a question about how many states start with T wrong because he could only think of Tennessee (he lives in Austin).

I don't watch many gaming streamers, but I follow a lot of music and arts streamers on Twitch who have great, supportive communities and no-toxicity chats. Many of them make their primary living through streaming (especially during the pandemic), and I hate that this is probably going to negatively impact many of them.

On the other hand, gently caress Amazon, Jeff Bezos, and specifically Twitch management that has sat around for years with their collective thumbs up their asses while failing to address issues with widespread chat toxicity, hate raids, and weaponized DMCA claims.

I'm conflicted, is what I'm saying.

I mean, I hope not.

Even if this doesn't result in a direct reduction in viewership (Kitboga is sitting at over 10,000 viewers this afternoon), I'd guess some viewers will be less inclined to send payments to/through Twitch for a while.

I haven't gone through the data yet, but did streamers' personal information get leaked? I'm sure Twitch has a mailing address for a lot of them, and Gamergate-type assholes love to use data like that to dox and/or harass people.
