Twitch also requires you to do a certain number of ads per hour/amount of ad time per hour in order to hit the partnership levels for decent pay. Otherwise, IIRC, Twitch puts their own ads in and the streamer doesn’t receive any revenue from the ads.
I think Thor over at Pirate Software did a video on it back when that whole “Twitch Adpocalypse” drama was happening.
Yep! Meaning that “Θώθ, what’s this?” is a perfectly valid question to ask the God of knowledge.
Enjoy your curse of eldritch knowledge!
The data says that they’re substantially more likely to catch fire than the Ford Pinto.
You know, the car infamous for catching fire when rear-ended.
I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice […]

This is exactly why I stopped watching Twitch. It was the only service I tolerated ads on. Until they hit a point where the frequency and number of ads were just unbearable and I haven’t opened the site since.
I believe there’s been a few like that. I think there was an eye contact one, but also one that required you to stand up during ads and another that counted the number of people in the room to make sure you bought the right number of pay per view tickets?
I like how every response to this is complaining about how he, a fictional billionaire that can’t actually change the status quo due to how superhero comics work and their inherent nature as propaganda, isn’t doing enough. He runs a rehabilitation program for members of gangs like the Penguin’s that are often working for these supervillains out of desperation and then hires them at his companies after, hiring convicts at twice the rate of other companies? Well, he should be paying them more than [undefined number]! Clearly, he’s only doing this because it makes him richer than his infinite money already does! AND he hasn’t even overthrown the corrupt government and installed his own socialist paradise. Clearly, everything that happens in the comics is all his fault, and he only acts when he deigns to trickle down some money to the poor and huddled masses that he sneers at from his golden throne.
It’s like complaining that Superman doesn’t just lobotomize Lex Luthor and be done with it since he’s just going to keep doing evil things and hurting people. Not only did he do that in that alternate timeline where he became dictator of the world “to permanently stop crime,” but they also wouldn’t have a story anymore if they just did the Marvel movie thing of killing off the villain at the end of every movie.
You should ask him if he’s heard about the recently released statistics that revealed that the Cybertruck is substantially more likely to catch fire in an accident than the Ford Pinto. You know, the car that is notorious for catching fire when rear-ended because the fuel tank is directly behind the rear bumper.
But he doesn’t have to worry about that, because Musk is getting rid of the office in charge of keeping track of that sort of stuff, so he can be assured that he will never know if the next car he buys is gonna explode for no reason due to poor manufacturing until it does.
Yeah, you’d need something like Trump saying that he liked to surprise the young contestants at the Trump Beauty Pagents by opening the doors of the changing rooms while the girls were naked.
Oh, he did say that? Oh. He also talked about flying on his private jet with Epstein and some of the girls to the pagents? Oh.
To anyone who doesn’t know, that’s like a century long prayer that is a major cultural touchstone in Boston and even out to the rest of New England.
There’s also the “fire everyone, then hire them back at a reduced salary while leaning on the fact that they care about preventing deaths enough to take the deal” aspect.
Fun fact: If you roll your feet the right way when you walk, you can make your footsteps substantially quieter.

The context is still important, though, because it’s important to remember that no matter how true something might be, it’s important to look at the intent behind the messaging and who is saying it lest you fall down a rabbit hole of trusting a group with malicious motivations. Like if somebody posted a comic about the Civil War being about states’ rights as commentary on the overreach of Republican federal government (especially right now), they’d be technically correct, but states’ rights to do what? To use the slave labor that their economies depended on. That’s a very different scenario from states fighting the federal government today to ensure that women still have access to healthcare. Plus, knowing the context of this comic adds the layer of irony that, regardless of their original motivations as a country politically opposed to the US, they ended up being right in more ways than they probably could’ve imagined at the time. A broken clock is still right twice a day, etc.
Look at the Washington Post. A perfect example of the context behind why this comic was created in reverse as well as a perfect example of why the comic is so relevant. A news organization that attempted to be as unbiased as they could and did a pretty good job of it, but has been bought by Jeff Bezos. I would trust their older work to be fairly unbiased and truthful, but I’d take everything they put out today with a critical lense looking for the corporate propaganda aspect.
My assumption is the latter, which is awesome.
I’d prefer them to be suffering on the outside as well.
Don’t forget that Trump and Epstein used to fly on Trump’s private jet as well, along with the young contestants of Trump Beauty Pagents, who Trump says he liked to “surprise” by opening the door of the changing rooms at the pagents.
Ad block software doesn’t work on Twitch anymore because they embed the ads directly into the stream.
