Okay, so... what the fuck is going on over at Twitch?
There's video evidence of one of their partnered streamers going on unhinged, hour-long rant about a patron of their website. Completely defamatory, disgusting rant about something he wasn't even responsible for. And that's just one aspect of it.
The other is that Phil literally fucking scammed one of their patrons out of their money. This guy
specifically donated with the intent to have Phil purchase a specific game. Not to pay his bills; not money to take his ugly ass wife to dinner; not food for his cat, but to buy a specific game. Phil even (begrudgingly) acquiesces that he'll buy the game with the donated money. This acknowledgment of funds to specifically buy the game from DJRuno is actually very important because it supersedes the definition of a donation. This stopped becoming a donation the moment that Phil
agreed to use that money to buy the game, especially that there's verifiable and demonstrable proof that Phil has segregated donations into multiple categories:
- Crowd-sourcing to pay his bills;
- Raising of funds to buy games;
- Creation of an Amazon Wishlist to buy specific material for his business;
- And donating to support the streamer (this category being the only acceptable legal definition of donations under the terms they should be used on Twitch).
Unfortunately, Twitch's enforcement of donations is rather lax and isn't on par with the way they view bits as they are legally liable to enforce the way such currency is used given that they own this form of digital currency.
Phil should be held responsible for the way the acted in this whole fiasco. It's not right that he's allowed to insult anybody who'd slightly disagree with anything that he does especially when a promise was handed out.
Fuck him and everything he stands for. I know I'm not supposed to pozload my neghole but sometimes it's really hard to stop myself from jumping in the autism vortex to possibly get Phil in some kind of trouble. But it's never worth it so I don't do it.
