Why would he mention the I/P conflict in a piece about Twitch advertising?

Do you think that justifies the insane levels of antisemitism and very extremist content being served to young people on that platform?????

The Palestinians are the most powerful people on the planet. Somehow not being eradicated after an 80 year genocide, but having a population grow even faster than their genociders (500% since the disgusting Nakba). Nothing can keep these people down! Suck it Israhell!

"The palestinians" don't exist, they are arabs.

They did one at the start of the year, although this is before all of this happened, so I definitely want them to hook up again when all of the dust has settled and give us some post game analysis on this.

Twitch having already been under pressure to hit deliverables from advertisers, makes me question how shakey was the advertising on Twitch already. If Twitch don't do sweeping changes to address the issue soon this may cause long term damage to the platform

Twitch has always been a place where the rules are enforced asymmetrically. Its about time this behavior bites them in the ass.

Amazing what an astroturfed campaign by a banned streamer, his podcast cohost and his terminally online audience can do using template letters and scripts to send mass emails to advertisers.

Amazing how people’s behavior has consequences. Advertisers saw the content and rejected it. Good on them.

Amazing how all public campaigns in history have worked like that - some small group of people think that something is wrong and unjust, and start to spread information about it to more general public to affect behaviors, legislation and public opinion, and then their target demographic might agree or disagree with them

Great read as always, but goes even tastier than usual with your 'Twitch has a politics problem' piece from two weeks ago - amazing timing. :)

Doesn't mention the whole "anti-semitism" thing actually being a temper tantrum by Ethan Klein?

I struggle to feel sympathy for Twitch given their repeated issues with moderation and problematic people on their platform.

If the company deemed this a concern, it would have been fixed a long time ago.
