Link to the leak: https://boards.4channel.org/g/thread/83691438 Top 10k Streamers by Revenue: https://pastebin.com/LjmaPNam Contains the following data points: 'ad_share_gross', 'sub_share_gross', 'bits_share_gross', 'bits_developer_share_gross', 'bits_extension_share_gross', 'prime_sub_share_gross', 'bit_share_ad_gross', 'fuel_rev_gross', 'bb_rev_gross' (TTS donations, 3rd party revenue like OnlyFans, Patreon, Amazo…

Wagies donating to millionaires is probably the funniest thing i can imagine.

Isn't this what we do when we go see a movie or a sports event?

> Some Twitter users have started making their way through the 125GB of information that has leaked, with one claiming that the torrent also includes encrypted passwords, and recommending that users change their passwords to be safe. Twitch just asked me to change password for the first time, so it sounds credible.

Its possible, if theres a full database dump that direct messages could also be leaked, which could be incredibly damaging. I'd guess that these would be in another storage medium however. One wonders. Why are encrypted passwords stored in an external code repository?

I'll be curious as well once this makes it's way to haveibeenpwned. Requested for it to be deleted and forgotten few years back, wont be the first time an account of mine has been "deleted" to then miraculously be hacked or caught up in a leak

Isn't that the basis of the economy with the increasing wealth gap and so on? It's not really materially different to paying Disney millionaires to go watch the latest Marvel movie.

Maybe if viewed in a cynical way yes. At least when i donate to blue origin i get something tangible delivered to my door. Where is the value exchange in being one of 10k people building a faux-relationship with a hot tub streamer?

Money transfer does not necessarily mean mutually beneficial transfer of value. Another example of this is theft.

Parts of it, yes. But the famous parts are horrible ; I don't remember the last time HN ran an international cyberbullying campaign.

I thought it was called “YC Demo Day.”

There's a difference between vicious mockery of a company and its founders on a single website, and having randos holding knives knocking on people's windows.

>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

The irony is that this post itself is ironically toxic. Kekw.

Undelivered promises and lawsuits against NASA to slow down space exploration for all of us ?

The difference is that Twitch viewers are already consuming the content for free. Subscribing or donations are completely optional. ( subscriptions get rid of the adds, but I doubt that's a main driver)

I dunno if you know this but you don't have to pay for the Marvel movies either.

Someone has to.
