Camelcanelcamel is the go to checker, unless the sale is lower then lowest price all time then it’s no sale at all

Use Trisha Hershbergers amazon live page that has her Black Friday list page. She looked for sales below all time lowest price

Think u could pull off a good Simon cosplay or Clara Epsen. I toughly enjoyed Blue Prince though on the accessibility side it was brutal as many "clues" were impossible to see & find; cough hidden passageway bookcase frame clues. I also did way too much math since that was just one of the best rooms

spendable balance shift is an amazon initiative they learned from prime Store card & partnership with Syncbsnk who is their creditor underwriter for FDIC insurance & bank accrediadtion . Expect Twitch Wallet to be a new CashAop / Venmo payment service in future to reclaim tips from 3rd parties

Spendable balance is twitch double dipping on fees. They take fees on initial purchase and on spendable balance if used on subs. If used on bits then twitch takes no cut but user buying bits gives Xsolla their 3% cut

How dues charity relate to adding a 1000 sub option which isn’t rolled out to everyone globally it’s a small test exoeriment audience

Twitch has limited viewers seeing limited ads that are a small segment of Amazon Ads platform that is really only used on Amazon properties as there big push is affiliate links on Amazon products through Amazon Live creator program and Amazon associates program for rest of streamers

Google can give advertisers better rates on global volume leading to higher com rates since click through across global Internet is higher
November 26, 2025 at 5:23 AM
YouTube only some ads skippable ( advertisers get higher click through rates on long firm content) so com rates are much higher. Google makes billions on Adsense so across all Adsense network they can sell ads fir YouTube, google sponsored and Websites using Adsense (90% of Internet sites)
November 26, 2025 at 5:23 AM
Twitch users are mostly mobile, they will either sub to remove ads, turbo to never sub on any channel and not get ads but still support creator or bounce off channel or not get tracked as a viewer and circumvent system with ad blocker, vpn or extension
November 26, 2025 at 5:23 AM
Urs why twitch com rates are so low it’s ad inventory will always be lower quality especially now with Cali ad laws that went into effect and unobtrusive ads become more popular. Twitch ad click through rates are at at min levels
November 26, 2025 at 5:23 AM
Twitch still pays out on turbo views so advertisers don’t eat that cost. Advertisers see turbo analytics they just get charged for those ad views, same goes for normal subs.
November 26, 2025 at 5:23 AM
There is no closed loop if anything. Twitch pays Amazon for services and it pays Xsolla for merchant fees on transactions or Amazon or PayPal all of whom take cuts except on bits where user pays those fees
November 26, 2025 at 4:55 AM
Partnership cost them nothing now since affiliates and partners have same contract except for top 500 partners & staff who are also partners that have modified term agreements with various subs, bits and ads splits with assigned partner managers as support with bi monthly discord call meetings
November 22, 2025 at 6:55 AM
Much much much different partner team then in past. New reqs were fur IRL streaners and partner team focusing on tiktok live, ig live influencers, brands and D list on up celebrities & notable people like athletes, musicians and devs

Until PlayStation portable comes out :) or SteamDeck 2.0

Usually it’s a signup age verification service that’s scans ids and checks against a national db similar to id me in US as a service for verification that ties to state dmv records which are all public lookups
November 21, 2025 at 5:45 AM
And yet knowbofybin chat actually believed it and kept asking fur specifics why twitch will never give out; I know but general public just doesn’t get & goes by conspiracy theory from streamers who really have no clue how the tech they use actually works much less the Internet they use
November 21, 2025 at 5:42 AM
And that’s why we need the two shows to merge, get not the marketing & general public knowledge bump from kinglets show with the higher standards & variety from the traditional accessibility conference ( which I don’t think I’ve been able to afford to attend or didn’t meet reqs for in past)
November 21, 2025 at 5:39 AM
And yet I still can shame them into letting tier3 subs be included in any sub discount promotion to point it makes my brain hurt & want to slap all the sense into Minton
November 21, 2025 at 5:34 AM
Not to duplicate twitter thread, it just seemed like a hard jury year in sense of lack Of options to even nominate even though criteria was opened up to include implementing features vs changing industry with creating new types of mechanics .

I’m just glad there was even this batch to showcase

But you should firm your own corporation, pay yourself and give yourself insurance then also get all the disability hire grants
November 19, 2025 at 9:49 PM
See Medicare should be paying you for having a staffed nurse, or have it as a 100% tax deduction where now it’s even a miracle if you get the 50% deduction fur medical expenses.
November 19, 2025 at 9:49 PM
Just wait till season one comes out and they add in prop hunt multiplayer ect other stuff. They should’ve just stuck with 6 and release every other year like a normal sustainable dev studio who is not beholden to shareholders or making up fir an VERY overpriced market value sale
