🎬 Last Stream Tonight - Ep 4 "Platform Drama & Creator Chaos"
TL;DR: Twitch is being weird about multi-streaming, CapCut wants to own your soul, and we're all just trying to make content without getting banned 😅
This Week's Tea ☕
🚨 TWITCH DRAMA ALERT Nutty got suspended for… nobody knows exactly what? Twitch sent a vague "you broke our simulcasting rules" message without saying which specific rule. Classic Twitch energy. We dive into why this matters for all of us multi-streamers.
💰 THE AD-POCALYPSE CONTINUES Every platform is cramming more ads everywhere. YouTube is literally making your videos load slower if you use an ad blocker (petty much?), and Twitch wants 50% of their revenue from ads. RIP to the good old days.
📱 CAPCUT = RED FLAG CITY New terms basically say "anything you upload is ours forever and we can do whatever we want with it." Big yikes. Time to learn DaVinci Resolve, friends.
🏃♂️ PLATFORM MUSICAL CHAIRS Everyone's jumping between Twitter/X, Mastodon, BlueSky, and Threads like it's 2007 MySpace all over again. We talk through the pros and cons of each.
Community Shoutouts 🎉 Thanks to everyone in chat who shared their platform horror stories! Special shout to St. Clinton for the Kick insights and Zalasaur for keeping us honest about platform comparisons.
