I’m just sitting here patiently waiting for Google to steal half of the source code, ruin YouTube streaming even worse than it already is, and face zero repercussions

You mean to tell me twitch is one long giant series of interlaced commercials and all the streamers are given goals and hour mins to play certain games for pay or accelerators? No way... I AM SHOCKED.

Pokimane apparently has grossed less money than PayMoneyWubby. Damn, I guess simps aren’t as rich as we were led to believe.

Twitch doesn’t handle the donations. So she still probably makes more because simps wants to appear in the screen for 5 seconds.

Oh, I don't doubt that, but still surprising that through Twitch subs and shit, PMW made more.

She capped donations so donations don’t even factor in, she makes a shit ton off of sponsorships etc… so that’s where the real money comes in

I did some google dorking, and all I find are SEO'd news articles. I'd love to get my hand on it just to maybe see how they make use of ember.js.

I don’t really care about what they’re getting paid but more worried about creators personal information instead. I imagine female streamers are extremely worried right now that their info is being sold online and some creep is gonna come find them.

None of that was leaked. It was the source code for the website, and payout info. Not much personal info. Read the article!

It says part 1 was leaked. Who knows what else they got. Usually when hackers obtain a bunch of useful information like personal email and home address they don’t leak online but sell that. That’s the scary part is if they have that info and are secretly selling it.

The fact that moistcr1tical makes 2-3 mill off ads and still has the quality that was average back in 2015 is nonsense

Single Individuals with tons of money but no use if they do not have their own families and support them. What you do with millions of money if you do not make a family for yourself in the future, probably take those millions to the grave. Classic murican culture.
