Eddie, the CEO of Kick, announced that "Kick doesn't work with any AI companies to train AI or anything like that. We have no agreement, nothing, to do any of that kind of stuff." Despite running on Amazon IVS, Kick is not forced to give Amazon training data while Twitch is.

These videos honestly say a lot without saying it out loud. Twitch is on Amazons leash and likely have no control over this situation at all. Amazon completed a $50 billion investment in OpenAI in February, 2026. Suddenly Twitch is flooded with AI tooling. Compromised values.

Lots of people are pinging me about the "Adpocalypse on Twitch" and wondering if we're ok. None of our ad-revenue on Twitch has changed because none of the content we talk about has sexual themes or politics. Our ferret rescue is run entirely off ad-revenue and it's gaining income following the normal yearly trends for October/November. There are likely some channels that get misidentified as having political content due to tags or categories but this so-far seems to be rare. A tag lacks critical context for the kind of content being provided and many people use tags in joking ways or to identify themselves in a particular way. I don't feel tags make a lot of sense for targeting ads as it leads to splash damage because of this. An Adpocalypse would be damaging the entire platform as a whole. None of that has been seen yet so there seems to be a lot of jumping to conclusions here. If this was happening in a widespread or apocalyptic manner we'd see impacts far outside of isolated instances like we have. Anyway, doom-scroll less. Look at cute animals more.

Today we are starting a long term #Sponsor for the stream. We're going to be working with Starforge Systems and showing you the awesome work they are doing over there. To kick all of this off Starforge has sent us two insanely powerful gaming PCs. One of them is going to be a massive upgrade to the Ferret machine and allow us to stream on both Twitch and YouTube at the same time. As we go forward with the rescue this machine will become the core of the operation and let us meet any of the needs we have for expansion. All of the income from this Sponsor has been earmarked to go towards building the ferret rescue. Our hope is to make the largest ferret-only rescue in the United States. It's been an awesome ride so far and we've managed to do a lot of good. Thank you all for making this possible and thank you to Starforge Systems for sponsoring our endeavors. You can find their stuff here!

New Ferret rescue room until we build the full facility. Tons of space for all the wigglers.

We recently had a ferret named Maisy come in from a pet store that was going to euthanize her for biting an attendant. Maisy had serious behavioral issues and could not be handled. After around two months of training she is now a normal little lady and sweet as can be.
