I also...and this is speculation...believe Twitch wants to overhaul ad payouts and what a perfect way to do it. Use election season and turmoil to pay streamers less in ad payouts and use TOS Issues changing as the reason.

This is why I don’t use twitch a lot nowadays. I can’t even watch a stream without these ads

[@troyd384]

This is the funny part of all this. Creators think viewers actually care about an adpocalypse but on the whole why would we care. Sure it means a lot less creators spending time on the platform but viewers will always find someone else to fulfill what they want to watch. So I think this adpocalypse thing isnt gonna resonate with viewers over the reactionary stuff happening now. In a week people will say oh well.

[@aboalsouf]

Nick, I am a big fan but wdym why did she say that about us soldiers? Literally the same soldiers that murdered a million iraqi civilians as well as torture them. Also, they're risking their lives for what exactly? Your freedom? Tf is your freedom doing in iraq.

[@twisted_3]

so you think all US soldiers should die? makes you just as bad. nah. worse. way worse than them. take a step back for a moment

[@ricardoabaunzaa4285]

She also clarified that it’s the soldiers choose and defend their actions in the military and continue US imperialism

[@mackmckim2181]

No shit innocent ppl die bc in their religious beliefs they want to kill everyone on the west. No one talks abt the prisoners, journalist, tourist that are still in prison in that country. The biggest part is that Iraqis stones their women. You guys act like one side is perfect in which the reality is far from their truth. If you gave Iraq the US power for a day, half the world would be nuked. No other country wants to be blamed for protecting the world so clearly the US is the only nation stand up and get blood on their hands so everyone else can continue living.

[@diyar7741]

Tell me you know nothing about iraq without telling me you know nothing about it. The US government literally invaded that country for their oil and the money they're making which until now they have som of it. Iraq have been one of the most countries that fought terrorists multiple times cause of thr countries around it. You're just talking bs and just want to put it on a specific religion when in fact there's like 5-7 different religions in iraq.​@@mackmckim2181

[@troyd384]

Nick is Ameribrained.I was as well and had to empathize with humans outside of America and the violence we have perpetrated uponn the world. Many wont deprogram because of a multitude of reasons namely focusing on their own lives. If someone explained in detail I think Nick would agree while saying probably not a good thing to say to be taken out of context. Maybe he wouldnt but I like to believe most people, if educated, would be empathetic and charitable to other peoples' hardship.

[@Faenzi01]

The entire adpocalypse situation can be summed up as a bunch of people that were upset by the critics of Israel started sending emails to advertisers and the ADL and they pressured twitch to make the changes and advertisers to pull out, and now depending on the tags you have you make no money. Dude had the Iran tag on because he is iranian and his ad money got cut in more than 1/2 same for a dude with the Venezuela tag, both creators that don't do any politics

[@troyd384]

No the adpocalyspe is streamers not making money. The reason so many ads rolled is streamers couldrollup to22 minutes an hour (like TV shows) and were all making good money compared to their actual viewership. Now everyone is gonna have their revenue limited which Im sure Twitch would never use controversy to change payouts and keep the bag for themselves.

[@ricardoabaunzaa4285]

Everything you said is not true

[@troyd384]

You are so brain broken. You are talking about the mIzkif clip. Mizkif did that to clip farm for LSF and it worked. You obviously watch clips and thats it. Cause if you heard Hasan's take on 9-11...while obviously in very poor taste..it wasnt a crazy thought and I have heard much the same from right wingers talking about the term blowback for meddling in other world regions' affairs like Osama Bin Laden being allied with American interests and then America abadoning those interests once the Berlin wall fell. So Bin Laden did Blowback. Also like Israel admittedly funding Hamas to come intto power to challenge the Palestinian Authority and then Hamas doing their attack. Hasan was talking about blowback in, what he admits, in a very poor way. The Houthi's have undergone genocide by the hands of the Saudi's and now standing with Palestinians while they are genocided. The kid Hasan interviewed said he wasnt Houthi and many people including New York Times and other publications reached out to Hasan to interview the kid themselves. It was actually an interesting discussion to understand a human being who was raised from his early childhood through a combat zone. Only the narrow minded would look at that as a terrible thing. Unfortunately for you nothing you said was true or in good faith.
