Twitch & Their Competitors / r/LivestreamFail / Live Streamer Community - Imitation of Hollywood

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
According to the article, 37 influencers were involved. 2.6 million dollars divided by 37 is approx 70,000 dollars. Asmongold, Mizkif, Hasan, and Penguinz0 all make millions every year. I have a hard time believing they'd knowlingly scam anyone and risk their reputation for such a relatively paltry sum.
wtf makes you think that? Look at Logan Paul for crying out loud. There are tons that'll scam for scraps even if already insanely rich.

Not to mention Richard Garriott, Chris Roberts, the list goes on and on. Even your namesake for his kickstarter movie that'll probably never come out..

#anything for views money. I think the people that become successful youtubers and streamers see money as status more than anything. They're already crazy rich, they can buy hookers and cars, so the only thing that can get them off is their bank account going up
 
NEVER "donate" to "charity", charity starts at home with your family and church, never give some scumbag company or person your money in the hopes they do something good with it.

I would give a hard core crack addict in my own community a few dollars over these fuckers any day. At least I know he will have all the money at the end of the day.

I think the outrage would be that they would take any money and if they did take money they should make it very clear that they were being compensated. If it's such a paltry sum, then surely they could afford to pass on their fee so more went to the charity.
 
How did so many fall for this and how did a company get away with it for so long?
I wouldn't be surprised if we found out more were getting a piece of the action.
Influencers are knuckle dragging retards, they don't know what they're doing they just promote anything put in front of them. Maybe they weren't getting a cut directly, but they did gain clout and more.
 
There is an active LSF thread about it I just noticed that has not been swept.

I can get behind this, but I can also imagine a situation where some marketing guru contacted a bunch of streamers and offered some flat sum of money in exchange for them participating in a big charity event. The streamers therefore wouldn't mention the money because they wouldn't assume that it was coming out of the charity. It would still be sleazy of the streamers to not mention being paid, but more understandable.

Why do people even give money to these fucking parasites.
 
Twitch really is proving that it's the site for the women who couldn't cut it as Chaturbate or pornhub models.
The OTK-dick-sucking mods of LSF removed the original thread exposing this, btw.

LivestreamFails is so fucking gay. Why do these loser mods sweep it up so diligently for e-celeb streamers who don't even know who they are, for no reward? They run interference to preserve these rich faggots' reputations from just criticism for FREE.

Hasan threw a temper tantrum a few years back demanding that he be forbidden from being mentioned because, much like most of the cows mentioned on this site, he thinks that an active catalog of his misdeeds qualifies as "harassment", and the jannies acquiesced immediately.

There's no point in a drama forum if you're not allowed to talk about or make fun of certain streamers because the jannies have an interest in protecting them from mockery.
The Byuuicide incident happened because one of the site's jannies was a plane-fetish furfag who was "friends" with Byuu and tried to sweep up his 4 page, dead thread in secret to protect his identity. Of course, people caught on, restored the thread and mocked the janny and Byuu. Because Byuu didn't get what he wanted, and the knowledge that his mockable behavior was archived and visible from google results, he tried to extort Josh and set in motion the current deplatforming saga KF is in.

I dunno, a lot of people fell for that ridiculous Scottish nobility one even though it was semi-common knowledge (and easily Google-able) that such things were scams.
 
I hate 99% of people who stream for a living. Thank you for posting this, this is pretty scummy but I do have to inform everyone unless the charity organization is taking something like greater than 80% of the money as profits, it's actually not illegal in the United States. I might be wrong about that percentage but please look it up, 501c charities registered with the IRS are required to put the proceeds to their causes for a shockingly low amount of money and still not file taxes as a charitable organization. it's pretty offensive when you find out how many Charities are collecting surprisingly large percentages for their own personal gain. What's even more offensive is the $100,000+ a year salaries the people at the top of these charities deem themselves to deserve.

The two that come to mind are the Wounded Warrior Project and the national Center for missing and exploited children. These are two issues that I find very important personally but when you look into how the money is being dispersed it's pretty ficked up. Not to mention the national Center for missing exploited children has been known to act in a law enforcement role without being given any Authority by actual law enforcement. They get involved in child custody disputes and I know at least one instance they forced an investigation of a rape that was already reported and deemed not worth investigating. The accuser was a thot that spent time in mental institution, had a restraining order placed against her previously and the alleged assault happened 3 years prior to them reporting this, roughly 60 days after the person they were accusing ended the relationship with them. Sorry to black pill the fuck out of everybody.
 
Asmongold, xQc, all of OTK, Ludwig, Hasan, amongst other famous streamers, have all been exposed by a journalist named Jacob Wolf of promoting a charity scam by a company called "Softgiving", now known as "Brandfluence" (A)

The TL;DR of the article is that all of these streamers had streams where the promoted various charities run by Softgiving, and said all of the donations made during the stream would be donated to those charities. However, 42% of all the donation money went to Softgiving's wallets, and not to charity.

The only streamer to respond publicly so far has been Asmongold, and he did it in his typical scummy fashion, by acting like a Internet Tough Guy and then saying "who give's a shit" if people got scammed, and then he fucking bans the user who asked about it.

Jacob Wolf then responded to this clip on Xitter after it was sent to him.

This is especially funny After the completionist stuff, I swear to god the internet will protect these niggas because everyone just loves twitch streamers

Also this somehow makes Hasan looks even worst, it was already bad considering he has enough money to help so many proletarians yet chooses not to, his already weak defense of muh charity looks even worst now

They were getting paid kickbacks, think about that.

At some point he must have issued a VOID check or set up a direct deposit or something to collect the funds. You don't wake up and discover you have been skimming money off the top of charitable donations.
 
I used to occasionally enjoy watching Asmongold's stuff but who could've imagined the guy who regularly jokes and brags about scamming people in his early WoW days probably still scams people? A truly baffling revelation.

Check out Vinesauce, he's like Jerma, but w/o the loony troons.
Vinny's community is equally infested, it just doesn't bleed into the stream content as much. Main thing to avoid is any "Vinny & Friends" streams, especially the ones where his mods are on mic. If they aren't troons themselves then they're definitely adjacent.
