Yeah - I believe he started a company.
I saw later on the in the recorded stream mentioned he did that 500 foot climb for free even.
Apparently he owns part of that telecom the tower is operated by.
Seems he is in it to win it.

Has anyone had Twitch start asking you to verify your account to chat in various channels? Its done this 3 times today, and I've verified each time.

A few friends on Discord have had this during the past 12 hours. Twitch seems to be shitting itself. Some can't chat any more.

Sounds like you guys were hit by the Gmail bug:


Today Gmail has decided to start giving incoming email a response that tells the provider that your Gmail account doesn't exist. This causes a lot of problems for mail severs as they get penalized when mail bounces in this way (they look like a spammer) so they don't try again.

It's a big ol problem but it manifests in ways outside of Google so it doesn't look like an error causes by Gmail.

Not sure that is the issue I'm having. I get the verify email from Twitch, and I can enter the code they give. Then Twitch shows that my last verification is the one I last did (that day). So it seems its on their end. The first response I got from Twitch support said they "think" they fixed it, but as of this morning the issue is still occurring.

So watching some community townhouses on twitch which I guess is where you can play tranny deer hunter, it appears they are banning many works soon like virgins, simps and more.

I just checked my 2021 schedule though and it appears Twitch isn't on it.

They aren't banning anything. They're changing the way tags work, hopefully, because they fucked up huge earlier this year and took away tags that people were using to identify themselves. They're also taking a tougher stance on sexual harassment, which is a good thing. They should have done it years ago. I mod in a few streams and the drooling shitlords we have to ban just make me shake my head. No, the female streamers aren't gonna fuck you. Go away.

The town hall was shit. DMCA explanations were complete and utter bullshit for those of us that stream music, and I don't mean in the background. I will probably wake up someday soon to a DMCA strike and/or a ban because of a live takedown, and that's something I'm fine with risking as a part-time small streamer. I have a good number of friends who are neither small nor part-time, and they'll lose their livelihoods if they're banned due to DMCA shit. It's dumb.

Fuck off with that shit.

It isn't actually against the law. It should be covered by fair use but the **AA media groups have fucked everything up with their ultra aggressive legal action supported by a bunch of pussy, corporatist judges who are stuck in the 80s and most likely corrupt as well.

They aren't banning anything but just cracking down on words I said would be banned.

Ooooook mister.

I do agree the typical twitch level troll is shit.
Like the guy who screams nonstop show us your tits. It's twitch motherfucker, not myfreecams.
Is this live? I just texted him, this is live! To a video that says recorded earlier and obviously not live.

Shitlords doing that shit spam it nonstop and come back after time outs and do it nonstop again.
I never understood mods that tolerate it or try to reason with them. It's like watching a live politics chat between 5 idiot Trumpers and Xewuecal.

They aren't "cracking down on words". They're taking more action on reports from users/mods/streamers. Good, about damn time.

I mean that is the same thing.
Although I'll agree. Till now and even the few years I was a bigboy mod reports meant absolutely jack shit unless you had a Twitch employee in chat.
I've watched streamers DM twitch regarding people having pizzas delivered over to them and then laughing in chat when it arrived and the streamer had to say no I didn't order this, and twitch still didn't do shit.

If someone reports you for use of the words I mentioned, twitch will take action. That is exactly what banning words is.
The argument it isn't is the same stupid argument here that some words shouldn't be said, but you can and then get punished for it.

Anyways just another nail in the twitch coffin overall.
If twitch wanted to impress me, they would revert back to conservative clothing rule instead of the now goalpost moved rules that allows women to wear crotch so tight, I can count the yeast on their mud flaps while they scream every night how they only made $2000 the day before and people use them as pieces of meat.
Force those bitches back to the cam whore sites from which they spawned. That way twitch isn't ruined by it and I can go watch them actually have to fuck themselves for a buck.

Lol... Twitch banned the words Simp and Virgin? Wtf.
2021. If you get reported for using it as a insult/harassment among other words and trolls.
At this rate by 2022 if you just disagree with a streamer or someone in chat you will be reeducated.
Twitch is very socialistic/commie ran. They been sucking on the Google dick years.

"Fair use" is an affirmative defense so it's not like it can just blanket protect you from DMCA takedowns.

Automated DMCA takedowns are the bullshit part of it all in the first place. They allege infringement where it is entirely possible that none exists and they do so in the most general, shotgun style possible. They are only legal because corrupt, corporatist judges allowed them to save their buddies a shitload of money in investigation and court costs, i.e. the things that are absolutely necessary to provide for actual fair use.
