a twitch rep told me more about how this system works. most important details: humans make the final call when it comes to streamers’ “longer-term ad eligibility,” and twitch is working on a means of informing streamers when that happens
Update 9/30/26: In an email to Aftermath, a Twitch representative clarified how the system works:
“As Dan shared, advertisers want control over where their ads appear, which is a standard expectation across every platform,“ said the Twitch representative. “Each advertiser sets its own preferences, so a channel can be a good fit for some campaigns and not for others. The tools we're developing help us match ads to content more accurately, opening up more opportunities for advertisers to reach more channels, earning more for streamers. Previously, matching could be more conservative. Better accuracy allows us to change that.”
The representative added that staff, not AI, will determine who loses out on “longer-term” ad opportunities—and, eventually, streamers will be informed when this happens.
“Twitch staff reviews flagged content at multiple stages, and as always, any changes to longer term ad eligibility would be a human decision,” said the rep. “We're also building ways to let creators know when advertiser preferences are affecting their ad revenue. Ultimately, better matching brings more advertisers to more channels, creating more earning opportunities for streamers.”

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

Also even IF it was true that dozens of women were falling over themselves to insist on killing Nat, how many of them knew it would mean NEVER SEEING HER AGAIN compared to how otherwise there's always *some* version of a comics character that comes back?

TBQ's Power Grows in Fall @tbqtalks.com · 29/09/2026
I'm sure there were dozens of women, all with tears in their eyes, as they said "Sir, sir please don't kill off the one Avenger people who don't read the comics barely know anything about! PLEASE kill off the single woman allowed to be part of the original team!"

This is a safe space so I feel okay admitting that in #Lanterns when they talked about Kerry's kid doing some kind of hat ceremony for where he was playing football after high school I thought it meant he was picking the name of a college out of a hat.

Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

I'm gonna be that nerd and point out that they think they're Tony Stark in terms of intelligence while forgetting Tony notoriously lacks wisdom. Also his entire arc is about recognizing his hubris was killing people and he needed to change course.
