The Infinite Thread Part 10: Trials and Tribulations of Twitch

The last month has been an absolute mess in my personal life.  Everything’s breaking or going the wrong way (remind me one day to talk about the floors, the washer, the Antennas, or the car).  While I eventually figure it out and get things fixed, all of this nonsense costs money and time!

And I just discovered that Twitch has blocked MCS from embedding the twitch feed, so if you want to see the fish, you’ll have to click here, then click “follow”.  How did I discover this? I noticed that the stream was stuck on a funny thumbnail and put in about 2 hours of research trying to figure it out.  There was no warning in the overly complicated Twitch dashboard, there was no email, nothing at all.  Oh, but I’m wrong about that, they had a warning in the BROWSER CONSOLE.  What brain dead fuck stick awesome Twitch dev thought that was the best place to put a ban message?!

Anyways, that’s yet another revenue stream that I thought I could rely on but should now consider untrustworthy.

    Twitch has kinda been screwing the pooch as of late. The TwichCon Emichu incident and their ham-handed late reaction to it has me worried for people who rely on the platform for income. It ain’t like Ironmouse can get a job at Starbucks.

    Was there at least a sign that said “beware of the leopard”?
