Don't Stream on Twitch on September 1st
Look, I have no idea how Tumblr coverage works despite being on here for over a year but content creators listen up!
A bunch of streamers on Twitch have decided to go on strike due to the increasing hate raids towards minority streamers. These raids often target users from marginalized communities with floods of hateful slurs and symbols. Several streamers have even been doxxed, charged money for bits/subs they did not purchase and more.
As such, people have been posting their experiences earlier on Monday under the hashtag #TwitchDoBetter, started by RekItRaven and other streamers.
Twitch ignored them. Even more bot accounts have been revealed to the public to have been attacking people.
Hence, people have decided to not go live or onto Twitch at all on September 1st in efforts to raise awareness. Some have decided to do live ON STREAM calls to remove subs and move to their other platforms, to change bits to cash tips, to fight this in a long term format.
So either do NOT go on Twitch at all on September 1st or use your platform on Twitch to inform others.
This isn't just Twitter drama anymore. Contact Twitch to stop the hate raids, spread info, do as much as you can.
