steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026tldr i'm jaded and tired of twitch and the streamers that end up being successful because a lot of them just do kink/slop content, "pay to win", or use everyone around them and it's unfair that a lot of genuine and passionate people i know have to work way harder for the tiniest bit of visibility. 040
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026love to see someone with passion for entertaining and building community suddenly announce they are a twitch partner after no begging or pushing for it instead of this corny ass "pls pls pls raid me so my number go up and i can be a twitch partner" bs 110
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026i'll be real i can't even pretend to want to mingle and network with vtubers anymore. 99% of vtubers annoy the absolute shit out of me LOL 130
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026but yeah idk. i see so much shit, esp in the vtuber circles, that makes me roll my eyes. there are too many greed-driven narcissists in the space for my comfort. it's a big reason why i just... can't anymore. 120
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026twitch as a platform is so toxic because it's always the tryhard clout chasers that are rewarded and enabled in their behavior and people who are actually just chillin and putting positive energy into the space are doomed to stay irrelevant. 120
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026and those types of streamers think they have any business starting a twitch team and leading a group of people???? if you use people as stepping stones you shouldn't be allowed to start a team and i wish we could gatekeep the partner badge from people like that a little harder sometimes. 130
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026it used to mean something to become twitch partner but now all it means is a streamer was whiny enough and begged their friends to raid them more. then they hit the bare minimum requirements, get the badge, and immediately go back down to 30-40 viewer average because they didn't grow authentically. 230
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026i'm seeing so many streamers get real sweaty about partner pushing lately and it makes me cringe out of my skull. "twitch partner" as a title has been so devalued in the past couple years because they really are just letting anyone in as long as they beg enough. and for that, i'm out. 121
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026i wish you didn't need to be a partner to start a twitch team because i know it'd be so effortless for me to make a really good one. the grind to partner is so stupid though so...i'm good lol... 120
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026i feel like if you're not careful you can end up creating a space full of incompatible people. some members will feel neglected and others won't even care about being there. no one is on the same page. bad feelings and shit happens. and eventually a bunch of members move on and/or the team disbands. 140
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026also teams not properly vetting their members is a huge problem too. you can always tell when someone just wants to be surrounded by yes men instead of carefully curating a group of like-minded people to collab and uplift each other. which imo is what a team should be. 150
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026streamers hit partner and think they can handle that kind of thing but not everyone can or should. they think they'll be the one to start the Hot New Team but then they add 100+ people within a few months, get too overwhelmed to actually support their members, and momentum dies. 160
steph @stephastated.online · 30/09/2026a lot of people who start twitch teams have zero leadership and community management skills and it's never surprising when the team inevitably falls apart 181

steph @stephastated.online · 23/07/2026from what i remember about her it really fits and it's kinda cool to know i dated someone who ended up being trans too. we didn't have a bad breakup or anything we were just kids so i don't have any resentment at all either. i have no idea where she ended up in life but i wish her well! 040
steph @stephastated.online · 23/07/2026i was randomly curious to see what one of the first long distance relationship partners i ever had when i was a teenager was up to/if they were still online and at some point she updated her pronouns on deviantart to she/her. that's pretty awesome. 140
Reposted by stephMyLoveless @myloveless.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Block evading is not normal or healthy behavior. It is in fact a form of stalking whether you like to admit it or not. It means you don't respect other's bounderies even forced. It's also a high key form of self harm to go out of your way to go see someone who doesn't want you in their space. 7310136
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026tldr i'm a mentally ill and disabled poor person trying to do something meaningful with my life but the road's been bumpy and now i'm extremely burnt out trying to find financial stability for myself because i've made mistakes no one can bail me out from. 020
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026don't get me wrong i love what came from that and i will use those things soon to make it worth it but just, lesson learned i guess lol. 120
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026also i need to hold myself not to invest any more in the Hobby of streaming or making videos because i'm never gonna see a real return doing that/can't keep up with it consistently enough to matter. i made too many unwise financial decisions related to that in these past couple years and i'm done. 120
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026and in my free time i really SHOULD be learning blender/unity because i wanna try to get a 3d printer to make things and also be able to make vrchat base avatars too. i have a lot of work to do, i need to try to lock in. 100
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026i wanna be a guy that designs my own shit and vends at cons and people buy it because they like it and i can pay my rent every month. what a dream come true that'll be LOL i feel like it's so close. 120
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026currently my grind is selling things I don't need/pokemon cards on ebay and other places to try to maybe make enough money to not only pay bills but also maybe buy a printer and sticker cutter and some other things to be able to start my merch business finally. 110
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026also the balance of how much money you should spend to make money is a difficult one to manage for me. i wanna start a proper business and actually start profiting more than spending but i still have so much i need to do first. 110
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026unfortunately i'm dealing with the consequence of my own actions over these past two years. i shouldn't have taken out loans and I should've been smarter with spending and saving. i'm trying to climb out now and be stable but it's not an easy straightforward thing. 110
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026hopefully lead to some stability. i have so many financial things over my head currently i want to just eliminate them one by one. personal loans, my college wants money back from me dropping out, and some other stuff. but yeah. idk. it'll be fine eventually i guess. it's just not ideal rn. 110
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026it's why i quit streaming. the exhaustion and burnout from my life and having to do what the fuck ever i can to get by drained me. streaming doesn't financially support me like it would need to be able to justify doing it as much as i was so i stopped. i can do other things with my time that will - 110
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026i really hope by the end of the year i can actually get fully ahead of everything. bills, debts, loans... it's all so exhausting having to balance it all and barely keep my head above water because i just don't make enough money in a month consistently. 110
steph @stephastated.online · 14/06/2026my ebay earnings are on hold until tomorrow and my bank account is at $0 again after paying some bills. it never ends. 100

steph @stephastated.online · 29/04/2026i also need to get back into vrchat and make some silly videos in there too....i think it'd be cool to do skits with friends too just saying..... really i have to figure out how to set up the different camera angles/controls and get better at doing it lol 040
steph @stephastated.online · 29/04/2026i unlock a lot more free time if i set aside a couple days a week for recording stuff for the purpose of short form videos rather than streaming for a few hours 3-4 days a week and THEN needing to go back and make clips. it's too much work. i wanna have fun making things again. 150
steph @stephastated.online · 29/04/2026to me making videos is a lot more sustainable and rewarding than streaming. i also started a side acct for tcg opening/collection stuff that i'm gonna start posting on soon. idk. i'm so tired of twitter/bsky and also twitch tbh. 140
steph @stephastated.online · 29/04/2026my routine lately has been: record videos every 2-3 days to post on tiktok/instagram over the next few days so i don't have to be online for those few days. 260
steph @stephastated.online · 26/04/2026also semi related but i cant wait til i can lock this account or make priv/friends only posts wtf is bsky waiting for LOL 040
steph @stephastated.online · 26/04/2026and just. honestly fuck instagram and tiktok for exposing my accounts to my family without my consent in the first place. 030
steph @stephastated.online · 26/04/2026"why don't you block her?" because she just stalks me anyway and i don't want to cause a more stressful situation. and like it's made me feel kinda weird before but it hasn't really been an issue until now. but like..now she's showing the rest of my family including kids and i have a problem w that. 140
steph @stephastated.online · 26/04/2026i need to have a serious conversation about boundaries with my mom very soon and explain to her that the stuff i post is for 18+ audiences even if it's sfw. i'm just tired of this. 130
steph @stephastated.online · 26/04/2026i just feel like i'm just not entitled to any privacy online anymore and it really sucks. i asked my family earlier to stop showing my nephew my videos because they aren't for kids and they couldn't understand that for some reason? 130
steph @stephastated.online · 26/04/2026i'm in a rly not great mood today. i've been trying to navigate a situation with my mom following some of my accounts online for a while when I don't rly want her to. and now today i find out that apparently my family showed my 6 yo nephew my recent tiktok posts. my boundaries feel so overstepped. 170
steph @stephastated.online · 21/04/2026every day i get closer to putting a dni list on my linktree 040
steph @stephastated.online · 21/04/2026it's not any deeper than not wanting to be around certain themes that are triggering. no hate, do your thing. my art and online presence isn't meant to be a space for that so either keep moving or follow from another acct! 040
steph @stephastated.online · 21/04/2026if babyfurs/kidfurs/abdl ppl would follow me with an account not dedicated to that stuff i'd be ok with them liking my art or following me. i feel like this is a reasonable thing. but yeah anyway moral of the story is people are allowed to have boundaries online about kink/nsfw/proship/whatever and- 130
steph @stephastated.online · 21/04/2026it gets frustrating like. i'm chronically misunderstood as hating people like this but i literally don't i just don't want to be around that content for my own reasons? and like yeah sure add me to your blocklists about it or whatever but also like...learn basic boundaries.... 140
steph @stephastated.online · 21/04/2026i want everyone to just respect each other at the end of the day but it always feels like i'm simply not given that respect or allowed to be uncomfortable about that stuff and i'm supposed to just let ppl with those kinds of accounts follow and interact with me. 150
steph @stephastated.online · 21/04/2026i'm sorry but if you're liking my art and following me from an age regression/babyfur/kidfur account and i notice, that makes me uncomfortable and i'm going to block you. I don't hate you and think how ppl cope w trauma is their business but i just don't want accounts like that interacting w me. 130
steph @stephastated.online · 21/04/2026i'll never understand people who feel the need to interact with sfw artists/posts in general from their 18+ nsfw or kink accounts....9 times out of 10 theyll act oppressed when they get blocked too lmao. 140
