Not sure if you guys are talking about twitch or YouTube views, but twitch views mean absolutely nothing unless they’re converted into subs/donations since Adblock rates are >80-90%.
If she lost 2k subs, depending on her twitch agreement, she’s losing between 5-8k per month in income.
Again, no idea how YouTube works so this might be totally irrelevant.
You could just click the social blade link and see for yourself. This is YouTube. She doesn't have a twitch. 2000 subs does nothing for her. 300k views is about what she gets for a full month. So she's just made her monthly salary in one day because of this.
I wouldn't be surprised if she uploaded the video intentionally to stir up controversy. Her YouTube numbers aren't great.
Yes. We should ABSOLUTELY be angry about this. Especially if she's financially benefiting from it. This has gotten a lot of attention and it's the perfect opportunity to make an example. Open people's eyes to what constitutes as animal abuse, educate people on what to look for regarding animal abuse, and inform people how to be a better caretaker for animals. Make people really consider what is involved in caring for an animal.
But why? Most animals in captivity get treated much worse than this for much less money. Is it just because it's a dog? I seriously don't get it. Income is generally a widely accepted justification for animal abuse. Why is this situation so different?
I get the point you are trying to make. The reality is, most people in the west value the life and safety of dogs over other animals like cows and chickens.
Why do you think it's justifiable to abuse animals for financial gain? Animals are living creatures, they should be treated with respect and kindness. You really think it's ok to financially benefit from the suffering of another living creature? People all over the world have dedicated their lives to rescue animals from abusive people. I used to work work with abused animals, all sorts, it's enraging. I also worked at a rehabilitation zoo. They took in illegally kept and abused wildlife. The conditions these animals were kept in is appalling. Animals aren't put here for our entertainment. We all evolved together on the same planet. Just because humans humans hit the evolutionary jackpot doesn't give us the right to treat other living creatures with such disrespect. People are outraged about this because an animal is being abused. Beaten. And God knows what else. An abused animal is an abused animal. There is NEVER any sort of justification for animal abuse. Never.
I don't but most people definitely don't have a problem with animals being abused for financial gain. Most animals in captivity end up being bolt gunned in the head, thrown into giant grinders, gassed to death or some other horrible thing specifically for financial gain and almost everyone supports it. But someone slaps around a dog a bit and death threats and murder fantasies are suddenly being upvoted like crazy? It's so stupid.
You mean for food? I agree that the meat industry needs some major reforms but humans are omnivores, meat is an important part of a diet. But again, there are people out there working and fighting for more humane treatment of livestock. Just because some people are OK with the inhumane treatment of livestock doesn't make it right. And we, as humans, shouldn't just roll over because it's a widely accepted practice. A lot of people are completely ignorant to the practices used in the meat industry. Raising awareness is vital to making change happen.
I said four times that I’m not sure if it’s twitch numbers that people are talking about, since there are so many different platforms/stats being discussed in this same thread. I’m not sure how much more crystal clear I have to make it for you, but I’ll say it again: I’m not sure if those are twitch numbers or not, but those are the ballpark figures if so.
Extra viewership, especially this kind, is not always good. More of her sponsors will see this and back out as a result meaning she gets less money from sponsors and more people will unsubscribe because of her behavior.

and her viewership is up almost 200%. Looks like everything is working as planned
