>the leak was intended to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”. the irony in that it was leaked to 4chan

I have a theory that the more people use words like “toxic” or “cesspool” the more likely they are the ones causing and creating it.

That site is NSFW. This is a better post. Here is the 4chan thread if people are interested https://boards.4channel.org/g/thread/83691438

The posts should have linked to the 4chan thread directly imo.

Those threads disappear

> An unreleased Steam competitor, codenamed Vapor, from Amazon Game Studios The choosing of the name Vapor is probably no accident when the main competitor is Steam. Just like when IBM launched the "Eclipse foundation" which was arguably based on one of Sun's most prized possessions; Java.

I worked for Nokia for a brief moment in time and the Nokia E71 (or another in that line) was internally codenamed "BeeBee" (like: blackberry) which was comical to me given that the phone looked a lot like a contemporary era blackberry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_E71 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_Curve

The E71 was a god tier device. Owned one for a good bit as a teen and it was the perfect phone for that time IMO. You could even WhatsApp on it until relatively recently.

Here's another link https://sizeof.cat/post/twitch-leaks/ Looks real to me based on the archive I managed to download so far

Amouranth making almost as much as shroud is insane and the fact that it's that high even after twitch's recent moves is telling.

It's almost certainly tongue in cheek.

You might want to delete that link. They've replaced it with something a little NSFW.

They block links that have HN as referer and redirect them to a NSFW image. But if you copy that URL and paste it in the browser it will work.

Hmmm. I thought I had something in Firefox (setting or addon) that didn't send referrers for external sites when you click-opened a link in a new tab. But it doesn't seem like it anymore.

The revenue only contains a few data points (below), things like TTS donations, 3rd party revenues like OnlyFans, Patreon, Amazon Gifts and sponsorship deals are not included. Amouranth makes insane amounts from her OF alone (an estimate of 1 million $ per month based on an interview with investmenttalk). Odds are that she makes far more than him, same with a lot of other female streamers who know how to monetize themselves. Obviously the same (Patreon, sponsorships...) applies to male streamers but to a lesser extent.

Ah yes, the jwz policy

It's the exact same image, too. Feels like a ripoff, at least make your own dirty image!

Oh yeah of course, twitch is probably a minority of her earnings. But what I think is more interesting is that Twitch's moves to make it easy for advertisers to opt out of streamers like her doesn't seem to have hurt her earnings all that much if she's still that high. Ofc it could be that ad revenue went down but sub revenue was way higher, which, again, is telling. Also could be that ad buyers didn't blink and continued paying for the hot tubs category. I think it points to a more plausible future for softcore streaming - there might be a market for stuff that's less explicit than camgirls, especially if that makes it easier for kids to access it. (I don't condone this, just think it's interesting.)
