Listening to Cash Money records, then Turk shows up in the studio. Seen as an enemy rapper, but I'm just trying to understand. This studio became my second home, living there. Turk pulls out a backpack stuffed with a billion raps. He's knocking out songs while we observe each other. He took a liking to Piff, who was my worst enemy and greatest ally. They brothers now, though you wouldn't have known it then. Piff started hanging with him every day, and somehow, Piff threw the bug in his ear. #MusicIndustry #BehindTheScenes

#AbuDhabiGP 🇦🇪 | Lewis Hamilton talks about his winter break plans: “It's all the stuff that I've been wanting to have all year. I don't have to weigh myself that first week, so I'm like, I'm going to say ‘F it’ and just eat whatever I want pizza, pasta, just everything, all the good stuff. I'm just going to be stuffed all day long.” “I'll be with my nieces and nephews, so I get to take them out in the snow.” “And then when training starts; it's up at 5am, it’s hiking up the mountains, I like to hike up the mountain really early for sunrise. I have a board, a snowboard that splits into two, so you can hike up with it and then you can have fun coming down. Then it's breakfast with the family and then it's out on the mountain, I like being out on the mountain.” “And the training is like Charles said. It's 2 to sometimes 3 sessions a day, the third session will be like a pool session.”

American has had lifelong allergies Every day she has to take allergy medication, she has bad congestion She got in an Uber and “the Uber driver was a pharmaceutical researcher in his career, and he's like retired, and he just Uber drives for fun, and he was on the team that created Motrin” He told her that olive leaf extract supplements work super well for helping allergies She tried it, it worked “I do have no congestion whatsoever. I'm still kind of sneezy, but I'm not like stuffed up, and that was honestly the worst part. So if you're an allergy, allergy sufferer, give it a try” This is definitely worth a try and it’s true and backed by science Olive leaf extract contains key compounds like oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, which have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and mast cell-stabilizing effects Mast cells release histamine during allergic reactions, and recent studies including 2025 research show Olive leaf extract can reduce histamine release

This dish is called nurungji chicken, popular in Korea but I'm not sure if any restaurant sells it in the US. It's stuffed with sweet glutinous rice and chestnuts, dates, garlic (like samgyetang) and cooked over fire. I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika and smoked it for a few hours until it hit 165F internal. The sweet rice was soaked overnight but did not cook all the way through because of the lack of water, so I added some water on the hot stone and cooked for a few mins until it was done. Really enjoyed this one as you can tell. The smoked chicken with sweet rice paired with corn cheese and ramen was 👌😩

The baby moose STOLE my trachea! Not the one in my neck, but the one that came from a cow's neck that I was chewing on. When it was potty time I went outside like a good girl and he zoomed back to the living room, grabbed it and brought it outside. He's tough enough to take it, but wimpy enough to hide behind the barbecue where I don't fit. Oh little man, you won't fit there soon and you're almost big enough to really put in your place. He either gives it back, or I'm taking the stuffed ducky he sleeps with and slowly pulling it apart, wing by wing. Then I'll bury it in a snow drift because revenge is a dish best served frozen. 🎥 Exclusive crime scene footage #RottieSiblings #KenjiTheMoose #StolenTrachea

hao's psa that you should think carefully before deciding to give birth to a child ❗ 🎻: i'm saying tuo-ma-ge-zi (chinese name for tamagotchi) – is it called "ta-ma-ge-zi" or "tuo-ma-ge-zi"? 🎻: calling it "ta-ma-ge-zi" kind of sounds like a curse, so i'll call it "tuo-ma-ge-zi" 🎻: raising a tamagotchi is already really difficult, so what i was saying is that if you all really do decide to have children, you have to think thrice! 🎻: you have to be prepared, be prepared to take responsibility 🎻: look at me, i didn't think my responsibility through and i hatched [the tamagotchi] 🎻: in the end, after regretting it, it was stuffed back into the egg 🎻: for a child it's not like you can give birth and then stuff it back into the egg 🎻: so everyone, before deciding to have a child you must think three times!

This is actually insane 🚨 Marjorie Taylor Greene reveals the reason both the House and Senate aren’t passing the bills they’re required to right now is because they’re waiting until they are stuffed full of everything their lobbyists are asking for “Why can't we pass any of these bills? Here's why — You have the pulling and tugging. Behind the scenes of those lobbyists saying, make sure this gets covered. So they're packing in all the appropriation bills with all the crap” “I'm going to make this real simple because this is a process that's really hard to understand. I had to learn it, too. September 30th, every single year is our government funding deadline. And Congress is constitutionally required to fund the government. That's what we're supposed to do. It's our job. There's 12 separate appropriation bills, and that funds like every different department and section of the government, ranging from the Department of Defense to the Department of Agriculture to tsa, Border Patrol, ICE, all of this really important stuff - We in The House have only passed 2 of our 12 appropriation bills. Only2 - The Senate has only passed 3 out of their 12 appropriation bills, and they have roughly the same amount of time. Why can't we pass any of these bills? Here's why — You have the pulling and tugging. Behind the scenes of those lobbyists saying, make sure this gets covered. So they're packing in all the appropriation bills with all the crap”

[eng trans] Gunil's 11-Minute Concert Ment at Summer Xcape 2026 🐹 hello, it's gunil. so, did something happen yesterday? firstly, i'd just like to share a few thoughts about how i felt during today's show. i'm always the type to talk for a long time, so i'm trying to be careful because i'm worried some of you might fall asleep. but if you want to sleep, that's okay. you have the freedom. 🐹 anyway, the thing i felt while performing today was that... honestly, i think yesterday we were all still a little shy around each other. i know some of you were here yesterday too. because of that, i was honestly really worried about today. ah, but still, we only had two days to begin with, so since this is the second and final day, we really have to enjoy ourselves and have fun without any regrets. i wanted Xdizzto have fun, and i wanted villains to have fun too. but i kept thinking, will that really work out? i was really worried about it a lot. 🐹 but the moment today's first performance started, you all welcomed us with such loud cheers that i think those worries just disappeared. and honestly, today, even when we made our silly jokes, you reacted so well. you cheered like this even when jooyeon was just tuning his guitar. ah, i'm really, truly grateful for that. so, in conclusion, i had a great time today. 🐹 i think it's almost been five years since our debut now, right? five calendar years, right? anyway, some time has passed, and while we've stood on countless stages during that time, i think yesterday and today, Xcape 2026, will remain one of those performances that i'll remember for a very long time. 🐹 today's concert was really fun. but when i think to myself whether that means it was a perfect performance... personally, i don't think so. while i was playing the drums and listening through my in-ear monitor, there were parts i felt like were lacking. and the more i perform, the more ideas i have about areas we can improve so we can make our concerts even more enjoyable. i've noticed a lot of those things myself, and found parts i wanted to improve. so yes, although today's concert was really fun, i won't let us become satisfied with just this. i want us to continue creating performances that are even more fun and have better quality. that's something i really wanted to tell all of you. 🐹 did you all have fun? you all traveled such a long way to get here. for a lot of people, yeongjongdo is actually pretty far away. so the fact that you came all the way here just to see xdiz, is really an act of love. thank you once again, from the bottom of my heart, for loving us so much and coming all this way to support us. i'm not crying. my nose isn't stuffed either. can you hear my sniffling? when i talk quietly, I don't think you can hear me. 🐹 anyway, along time ago, i made a promise to you all, didn't i? i said that xdiz would always be the kind of team that keeps simmering bone broth. [see reply for the context of his "real bone broth" ment] of course, if you eat bone broth every single day, eventually you might start doubting and think "is this really bone broth?" because you get so used to it. but i really cross my heart on this. i'll bet everything on this. without lying, i'll always give my absolute best. i think that's only natural. isn't it wrong to not give your best? 🐹 anyway, i hope you'll continue to believe in us. i hope you keep trusting xdiz. we'll also keep working hard so we can live up to that trust. i believe that precious relationships, as they get deeper, will have more crises/problems. because, well, think about your precious friends. or maybe a neighborhood friend you're close with. or a classmate you were incredibly close to. haven't there been incidents where suddenly that relationship becomes strained because of a crisis? but i believe that a crisis can become an opportunity. so even if there are any of you who may have doubted us, i want to use that as an opportunity to keep proving ourselves to you. 🐹 i hope you know that we're never the kind of people, or the kind of team, that would carelessly take you for granted or treat your love half-heartedly. and i'm so grateful that there are far more people who don't think that way. we really love you all so much. we'll keep talking together after every show, giving each other feedback among ourselves, adressing the areas we fell short on today, and working hard to show you performances that are even more fun and with higher quality. 🐹 oh, right. earlier, when i talked about that promise while mentioning the bone broth, there was something else i said back then too. do you remember me saying the bigger this group gets, as more and more new villains join us, i mentioned that i was afraid some of you may leave so i said i wanted to protect all of you no matter what. nobody actually says things like "what will you protect? protect yourself first." but i think you all understand what i feel. 🐹 honestly, every single one of you is genuinely precious to me. whether there's just one villain or 200,000 villains, you're all still villains. but as our fandom keeps growing, it naturally starts feeling like one huge group. so because of that, i think we might stop feeling like we're seen as an individual person anymore. once again, what i want to tell you here is that every single piece of love that each of you sends us is incredibly precious. really. every single one of you. everyone here, from zone 1 all the way to zone 7000 is so incredibly precious to us. 🐹 when one person comes together... ah no, not just one person. when one person, then another person come together, sometimes they become ten thousand people. that's how it goes, doesn't it? 🐹 anyway, you all know the song "one candle", right? oh, i'm sorry. this is really the last one... actually, you all know i'm a tmi talker. you know, a too much talker. so for a while, i've been telling myself, "ah, i need to restrain myself" and holding back but it's been a while, so, i'll loosen up my mouth a bit more. 🐹 i really love the song "one candle" it talks about how when one candle joins another, then another, and so on, they become one really great light. you are every single one of those lights. when you're standing alone, in a way, you might sometimes feel insignificant. but truly, every one of you is not insignificant. not at all. 🐹 we will become xdiz that grows by constantly reflecting on ourselves, growing through self-reflection, and will never lose our humility so we can become a team that doesn't feel insignificant even if there's just one of us, and even if there were only one of you, we'd still give everything we have until the very end. we would be really grateful if you'll keep believing in us until the very end. and i'll keep believing in our villains until the very end too. thank you. 🐹 also, wasn't this concert amazing? the drums came down from the sky. the instruments came down too. so many incredible things prepared for this show, but this concert couldn't have happened through our efforts alone. there are so many staff members working behind the scenes, and honestly, i think they worked even harder than we did. please give our staff a huge round of applause. and finally, villains, please give yourselves a round of applause too.

بسعدلي كل أوقاتكن يا غاليين ❤️❤️ من الأكلات يلي ما بزهق منها ودائماً موجودة بكل عزيمة وأصلاً ما بدي عزيمة حتى أعملها 2 حبيت قدمها بطريقة جديدة ومختلفة وكتير كيوتي ، طابات الورق المحشية ، مش بس طيبة كتير ، شكلها كتير حلو في كم نصيحة رح تساعدكن ضروري الحشوة تكون خضرتها والبندورة والزيت والحامض أكسترا واكتر من كمية الرز حتى نحافظ على شكل الطابات ، ما في داعي لوضع صحن أو تقل على سطح الطابات ، فقط ورق زبدة مع الورق القصدير مدة الطهو لا تقل عن ساعتين بالفرن وطبعاً مع مراعاة وضع الفرن المستخدم نترك الصينية او الطنجرة المستخدمة ، مغطاة حتى تبرد تماماً ، حتى ما يتغير لون الورق ويصبح لونها اغمق Wishing you all the best, my loves •* One of those dishes I never get tired of, it's always on the table at every gathering, honestly I don't even need an occasion to make it I wanted to present it in a new, different, and really cute way. Stuffed vine leaf balls, not only delicious but they look so beautiful too A few tips that'll help you out 1. The filling needs plenty of vegetables, tomato, olive oil, and lemon, and more of those than rice To keep the balls holding their shape, there's no need for a plate or weight on top, just butter paper with foil over it Cooking time should be at least two hours in the oven, depending on your oven of course 4.

Coppola had to fight to cast Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone in The Godfather. At the time, the studio saw Brando as “box office poison.” What finally sold them was his legendary screen test, where he transformed into the Don right in front of their eyes. Coppola explains: "I remember in one meeting, I was told by the then president of Paramount - "As president of Paramount Pictures, I am telling you that Marlon Brando will not appear in this motion picture." So I continued talking and arguing, and finally, they agreed to let me discuss the idea of Marlon Brando being in the movie if I honored three stipulations. A - he would do a screen test. B - he would do the film for free. (he would get a back-end deal) And C - he would put up a bond so that if any of his shenanigans or any trouble came from him being on the set, that it would guarantee the losses. So I said, - "Okay, I accept” - What could I do? I accepted these three things from Marlon. So I then called up Marlon Brando and suggested, "Maybe it’d be nice if I did like a little makeup test or something? I could come over your house." - he said to me, "All right."… We got to his house very early, and we set up our little lights. And I had brought a bunch of provolone cheese and a little Italian cigars and little props just to kind of put around - sure enough, he wakes up, and he comes out of his bedroom; and he's this great-looking, I don't know, he must have been 47, and in a Japanese robe. He looked very impressive, and I looked at him with this ponytail and I'm like, "God, how's he ever going to play a mafia chieftain?"… And he walked on. He put on a jacket, and he started mumbling - I remember, he went through great effort to bend the tip of his collar - he said, "So, like, there's a time guys always have the collar bent like that." And he picked up a cigar, and he started to gesture with it and use it as a prop, and he nibbled on a little bit of provolone cheese - and he rolled up the ponytail, and he kind of pinned it up, and he took some shoe polish, and he darkened it, and while he's doing this, we're photographing… He took some tissue paper, and he said, "He should have the face of a bulldog."...He stuffed the tissue paper in his jaw, and then he said, "Well, if he's shot in the throat, he ought to have to talk like that a little bit." It really was a transformation of this nice looking young man with a blonde ponytail, into this kind of mafia guy… I took it to New York, and I went to Mr. Bluthorn's office (head of Paramount Pictures), and I said, "Oh, Charlie, Charlie, I want to show you something." - I flick the video, and sure enough, there's Marlon Brando coming out in a robe with a blonde ponytail, and he looks, and he says, "Never! Marlon Brando, never! Never!" And as he's doing that, he's watching Brando turn himself into this guy, and Charlie just looks astounded, and he says, "That's incredible! That's incredible!" And once he was sold on the idea that Marlon could do it on his authority, they allowed us to do it."

Fundamentally wrong on multiple levels. First of all, if your reaction to the defeat and removal of a swarm of foreign invaders is "that's cruel", then you are not ready to make adult judgements about foreign policy, and shouldn't be allowed to vote. Let me make it simpler: You are supposed to be cruel to your enemies, you silly person. They are not your friends you haven't met yet. They are your enemies. They mean to hurt you, either because they hate you, or because they want what you have, and don't care what happens to you when they take it. Sacrificing your countrymen and your civilization over naive principles you learned from your midwit kindergarten teacher is a disgusting moral betrayal. It is your countrymen, and your civilization, that defend you, sustain you, and provide for you every good thing that you have, including everything from the right to say silly things online to the smartphone you say them with. To set all that at nothing so you can virtue signal is not only silly... it's ungrateful. And ungrateful people are trash. Secondly, if you describe deporting the dregs of the third world back to where they belong as "warlord" behavior, you not only have no idea what a warlord is, you have no idea what most of the world is like, and you are unqualified to vote in elections that effect foreign policy. Warlords do not chain their enemies up, load them onto planes, bring them back to their homelands and set them free. Warlords feeds their enemies to dogs. Was your best friend dragged out of his home by masked men, in front of his wife and child, and stuffed into a waiting van? Was his naked corpse found hanging from a lamp post the next day, covered in burn marks and puncture wounds from an electric drill? That's what warlords do. So save the term for when you actually need it. Trump was and is the soft option. If you somehow manage to thwart him, I promise you that you really, really will not like who comes next. Third, western civilization has been brought to the brink of inevitable collapse because you listened to silly women who think military-age males from Ethnicklashistan are cute puppies who need love and understanding. You have to stop caring what silly women think. Because you will not reason them out of this. They will continue to believe in Cute-Puppy Theory, right up until the moment they get raped, stabbed, or both. People from places where human life is cheap, behave as if human life is cheap. But silly women cannot imagine this. Their definition of the word "attack" is someone saying mean things about them on twitter, kind of like I'm doing right now. People like this have been sheltered so well, for so long, by others who capable of ruthlessness and violence, that they forget what they are being sheltered from, or what ruthlessness is for. And then they start interfering with the very people and processes that protect their safe space, and indeed their lives. Because defending your tribe is mean to Cute Puppies or something. Fourth, anyone who think political power is maintained by appeasing your enemies has clearly never had any power to maintain. Your must energize and reward your friends, and discredit and demoralize your enemies. The left isn't going to stop hating western civilization if we keep our sober faces on and pretend we're not overjoyed about winning out over obvious evil and depravity. Appeasing the left has no value at all, because what the left wants is "everything", and they destroy anything they get their hands on, then demand more. Anyone who thinks deportations are "mean" is part of the same set of people who gave us this problem in the first place. And the only reason things are better now is that we stopped caring what they think.

About a month ago, a clip of mine went viral⁽¹⁾ talking about the Current State of Twitch (3rd thumbnail in this tweet). It resonated w/ people outside my community, so lemme elaborate (as a 10yr+ Twitch Veteran). Current State of Twitch isn't great and haven't been for a while. I've been passionate about Twitch since inception (I joined in April 2011 in the JTV days, a few months before Twitch debuted in July 2011), and been trying to instill positive change but I'm only a cog in the machine compared to where influence can impact — likely via Amazon-appointed Executives to help "oversee things" at decade-old-acquisition-that-has-still-generated-zero-profit Twitch⁽²⁾. ------------------------------------------------ Twitch's Muddled Identity ------------------------------------------------ Describing Twitch 10 years ago was easy: "Youtube, except always live, for gamers". Now, it's more muddled & fluid, at best: "Always live broadcasters who aim to connect with their viewers and foster communities(?)" — that, in itself, isn't problematic; but how it's accomplished, what methods are most effective, and how certain directories accumulate higher viewership is, I think (I may elaborate further on that in a future tweet). The most common reactive bark I've heard following TwitchCon 2025 is "Ban Politics" or "Make it Gaming-Only Again!" — People forget, but Pokemon GO (June 2016) going worldwide-viral was the crack-in-the-dam that lead to IRL as a directory because of the impracticality of continuing Twitch's "games-only" era as the site was increasing in popularity, reach, and cultural significance. IRL was a band-aid solution for the core function of Directories⁽³⁾ (which was to let would-be-browsers make better-informed decisions on what to watch based on their interest). It's too broad and encompassing, which led to an unintended dopamine-producing⁽⁴⁾ psuedo-ChatRoulette where you "never know what you're gonna see" browsing there. Without a better tool to migrate users or aggregate topical content, this problem exacerbated continuously. Just Chatting was supposed to be the solution, as it came with 11-12 other directories⁽⁵⁾ to attemptedly split the IRL monolith, but failed to inspire Social Behavioral Change tremendously. Just Chatting is more popular than ever, discoverability — like in the broad, functional sense — is busted cuz every genre of content stuffed within it and fails to disincentivize streamers from opting-out of the most popular directory. So, how do you stand-out in the overcrowded field where a fuckton of the viewership goes for a Roulette Pull on something entertaining to watch? ... ------------------------------------------------ The Era of Clout-Farming Content (and the fact it works, ugh) ------------------------------------------------ Once IRL directory came in Sept 2016, so did the meta of skirting the ToS (Terms of Service) to maximize views or push the limits of what was tolerated on Twitch. Fundamentally, the social dynamic of receiving a suspension (everyone generally refers to them colloquially as "bans") earns notoriety and "free vacation/marketing", that when coinciding with a comeback event, open the possibility of a net-positive from the boost in viewership or metrics. This isn't as relevant now because the ToS Enforcement has gotten significant buffs to be more transparent and structural in the last half-decade. I can't speak on the nuance of this now, but "Full-Time IRL Streamers" and "Sweaty IRL Affiliates" were unbearable at TwitchCons until TC Policy cracked down on requiring consent by those they bumrush'd into (while live of course), so I assume they're probably equally as intrusive everywhere else ... then Kick came along in 2022 and dominated the headlines for mischief within this realm, for the most part; but that's a different topic altogether. The burden of an authentic collab can be too much friction, slow moving — and honestly, too much work for a streamer to do — compared to the efficacy of blowing up Streamer x Streamer Conflict via self-commentary-reacts for sensationalism and maximizing parasocial viewers' worst tendencies. Effectively, ragebaiting. I'm not advocating to abolish this as a policy. I'm pointing out how this is a very effective way to garner views within the social constructs — and it shouldn't be, nor always was. Something changed at some point. I don't wanna bore you with a timeline of the last decade of controversy on Twitch, so I'll fast-forward to when I definitively see evidence that Clout-Culture is failing upward: In March 2025, the unbanning of Adin Ross⁽⁶⁾ (on Twitch) I saw as a huge moral failure that reeks of desperation for his views/clout/relevance at the direct expense of the integrity of Twitch Culture. Not sure if that was a Clancy-specific decision or what, but it encompasses "neo-Twitch" or a disconnect if there ever was one. ------------------------------------------------ Twitch Culture is diluting at the expense of recouping revenue ------------------------------------------------ A decade ago, Twitch Plays Pokemon broke news across insular-livestreaming gossip and was celebrated as a pinnacle of internet fandom⁽⁷⁾ (Feb 2014). This event was a testament to the value of Twitch because it reinforced the undeniable power of CULTURE present in Twitch Chats. I don't think the event could've worked on a YouTube Livestream (remember YouTube Gaming, introduced in 2015?). There's a certain aura present in Twitch Chat that makes it feel captivating to interact and engage with compared to a YouTube Live Chat Box. One feels like a close relative of bot-spam'd yt comments and the other feels ... real. I think that value is the culture — what could keep Twitch afloat for a long time, even if YouTube were to hypothetically obsolete Twitch in every way for delivering live broadcasted video content. I've noticed that as the meta has shifted towards revenue-maxxx'ing with the proliferation of Spectacle Events, typically marathons, that are engineered to paywall as many things as possible, at the expense of the content. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but the culture has shifted. I also do think most of the marathon content isn't good; they're carried by being experiences with strong FOMO-factors to compel your participation by viewing. I do suspect there's a saturation point where the combination of the waning niches of livestreaming, 4th-wall-breaking, and manufactured spectacles can keep an audience seduced. Like, the content (in aspects) has less substance and I wonder what that means for the welfare of Twitch Culture and its content in another 5 years. Perhaps Twitch could foresee this and become proactive on the manner?... ------------------------------------------------ Twitch's Conduct & Repetitive Incompetence ------------------------------------------------ Twitch has prioritized generating revenue over addressing the needs of the already-active users for years. Emmett Shear (previous CEO; 2011-2023) probably was a huge reason for sluggish changes overall to the platform as from what I hear but I can't say for certain. Regardless, we got Dan Clancy as CEO and, while there has been lots of positive changes under his reign, it really does feel like "too little, too late" with the pressure looming from Amazon's 2015 acquisition; increased competition and marketshare decline; and declining revenues, active users & monthly streamers"⁽⁸⁾. Here's a brief timeline of features implemented that I feel helped build the culture. Before COVID, I believe the biggest obstacle was helping migrate streamers from being part-time to capable full-time content creators. So, at the time, revenue-generating products were revolutionary to help there, including me at that time: ✅ 2016 — Bits/Cheers & Prime Subs (!!!) ✅ 2017 — Gift Subs (to a specific user) ✅ 2018 — Gift Subs (to randos in Community); Super Subs & Ultra Subs ✅ 2018 — Twitch Mobile App v2 (original mobile app was a constantly broken mess) ✅ 2018 — Twitch Prime no longer adblocks (I will agree how they did it was stupid, but ultimately, it was a necessary; I can defend this in the replies if needed) Comparatively, here's the hostile changes that came at the expense of the Twitch Populous supporting said-change: ❌ 2017 — Communities⁽⁹⁾ (DOA cuz it wasn't streamlined enough and vulnerable to Popularity Bias; I can elaborate in replies if needed) ❌ 2018 — Tags for Channels (DOA cuz anyone can use any tag, diluting the effort of broad categorization or filtering in any capacity) ❌ 2022 — Twitch kills Hosting⁽¹⁰⁾ (also new "craptacular" Offline Page w/ Suggested Channels idea instead) ❌ 2024 — Twitch Mobile App v3⁽¹¹⁾ (Tiktok clone dogshit) ❌ 2024 — Stories (who asked for this?) ❌ 2025 — 100hr Video Storage Limit (going back against Collections & cementing Twitch isn't an evergreen platform; also SHORT NOTICE) ❌2025 — Live Rewind ... paywall'd to Twitch Turbo & Channel Subscribers only (this is free sitewide on yt's livestreams)⁽¹²⁾ ❌ 2025 — Ability to gift 1000 subs at once (already shelved from backlash) Post-COVID, I see a pattern of prioritizing revenue-generating products at the expense of what creators need or ask for. I understand Twitch needs to appease Amazon eventually with profit, but with a half-decade passed, all the buffs I can recall are 2K Resolution Streaming*, Portrait & Dual-Canvas Streaming*, and Stream Together / Shared Chat. *Both of these sortta don't count cuz they're invite-only betas that aren't site-wide and don't apply to non-Partners 🤷‍♂️ While more features arrive that ask for more of your money to partake in the Twitch Experience, I feel like the users (both Streamers & Viewers) continue to be neglected. 10 years ago, I thought YouTube Gaming was DOA; now I anticipate when more people bail on Twitch because the functionality will decay without a compelling reason to stay if the culture dminishes. I'll conclude with the 4th thumbnail included in this tweet — a supercut of a portion from the TwitchCon 2025 Keynote from Dan Clancy, with the youtube dislikes superimposed-over for your enjoyment. Let me know what you think of what I shared today! 🎉🥳 I'm considering also breaking down the specific causes (not symptoms) of why Twitch is where it is, and my 999 IQ Pragmatic Solutions that are tenfold better than what I've seen suggested after this morale fallout following TwitchCon 2025 👀

So, at the time, revenue-generating products were revolutionary to help there, including me at that time: ✅ 2016 — Bits/Cheers & Prime Subs (!!!) ✅ 2017 — Gift Subs (to a specific user) ✅ 2018 — Gift Subs (to randos in Community); Super Subs & Ultra Subs ✅ 2018 — Twitch Mobile App v2 (original mobile app was a constantly broken mess) ✅ 2018 — Twitch Prime no longer adblocks (I will agree how they did it was stupid, but ultimately, it was a necessary; I can defend this in the replies if needed) Comparatively, here's the hostile changes that came at the expense of the Twitch Populous supporting said-change: ❌ 2017 — Communities⁽⁹⁾ (DOA cuz it wasn't streamlined enough and vulnerable to Popularity Bias; I can elaborate in replies if needed) ❌ 2018 — Tags for Channels (DOA cuz anyone can use any tag, diluting the effort of broad categorization or filtering in any capacity) ❌ 2022 — Twitch kills Hosting⁽¹⁰⁾ (also new "craptacular" Offline Page w/ Suggested Channels idea instead) ❌ 2024 — Twitch Mobile App v3⁽¹¹⁾ (Tiktok clone dogshit) ❌ 2024 — Stories (who asked for this?) ❌ 2025 — 100hr Video Storage Limit (going back against Collections & cementing Twitch isn't an evergreen platform; also SHORT NOTICE) ❌2025 — Live Rewind ... paywall'd to Twitch Turbo & Channel Subscribers only (this is free sitewide on yt's livestreams)⁽¹²⁾ ❌ 2025 — Ability to gift 1000 subs at once (already shelved from backlash) Post-COVID, I see a pattern of prioritizing revenue-generating products at the expense of what creators need or ask for. I understand Twitch needs to appease Amazon eventually with profit, but with a half-decade passed, all the buffs I can recall are 2K Resolution Streaming*, Portrait & Dual-Canvas Streaming*, and Stream Together / Shared Chat. *Both of these sortta don't count cuz they're invite-only betas that aren't site-wide and don't apply to non-Partners 🤷‍♂️ While more features arrive that ask for more of your money to partake in the Twitch Experience, I feel like the users (both Streamers & Viewers) continue to be neglected. 10 years ago, I thought YouTube Gaming was DOA; now I anticipate when more people bail on Twitch because the functionality will decay without a compelling reason to stay if the culture dminishes. I'll conclude with the 4th thumbnail included in this tweet — a supercut of a portion from the TwitchCon 2025 Keynote from Dan Clancy, with the youtube dislikes superimposed-over for your enjoyment. Let me know what you think of what I shared today! 🎉🥳 I'm considering also breaking down the specific causes (not symptoms) of why Twitch is where it is, and my 999 IQ Pragmatic Solutions that are tenfold better than what I've seen suggested after this morale fallout following TwitchCon 2025 👀
