the brand safety panopticon has come to twitch
Streamers, wary of both AI and YouTube’s infuriatingly un-transparent hall of mirrors, are not enthused about this new development.

“Ohhh so that’s why ad revenue dropped,” longtime streamer JP "itmeJP" McDaniel said on Twitter.  

“I’m genuinely worried that the sheer fact that I’m a lesbian will cause the AI to remove ads,” said Vtuber LuminusRed. “In the past I’ve tested it and confirmed that I get less ad money if I had queer-related tags on my stream like ‘lesbian,’ so I am worried this dumb AI monitoring will mean I no longer get money from ads on Twitch.”

11 years after launch, more witchers are now walking the Path across the Continent than ever before. Seeing so many of you set out on this journey for the very first time, or relive it once more, means the world to us. Thank you for putting your trust in us, all these years later. ❤️
Stream graph shows numbers of players over time for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The graph spikes at launch in 2015, in 2016, in 2020, in 2022, and in 2023, but the peak comes upon Remastered's launch in 2026. Numbers across the top represent the number of current players, the 24-hour peak, and the all-time peak, all at 119,852.

The ongoing framing that actually owning your media is "low-tech" is disingenuous and sad. In a world where the powers that be are trying to destroy media ownership, we should be embracing and supporting it instead of snarking about how it's "outdated"

Maria Bamford Documentary. Releases October 23rd on Netflix Maria Bamford has been one of my favorite comedians for probably 20 years now. There is no one like her, and there will never be another like her. So creative and vulnerable all while being so silly and relatable. 

Judd Apatow took the time to make a documentary about her life and career, and I am so grateful that he did. It comes out October 23rd on Netflix and y’all should absolutely watch it.

And while you’re at it, go back and watch any of the many hours and half hours Maria has released over her almost 40 years performing stand up. And if you ever get the chance, go see her perform live. She is truly one of a kind.

I’m so excited for this

There's no real point in arguing with his mouth noises, particularly not when preaching to the Bluesky choir, but this is *noteworthy* nonsense. If the revenue were real (it's not), then it would be revenue *of the United States government,* equally available to a Democratic Congress to spend.

In practice, AI literacy doesn’t start with building the tool for your personal use. It starts with understanding yourself as a collection of tasks who should subcontract those out to a machine. Almost no regular person’s life currently exists as such.
