>>86986698Guess they really didn't like Ironmouse beating that subscriber goal... And all the shit Shondo said about them.Hope Ironmouse saved enough money to pay her medical bills for a long time. Shondo's family is just fucked.
>>86986698Other things banned in Twitch Policy Updates:>Hips (note: the area that constitutes as "hips" is not well-defined visually, nor is any allowance given for things like dresses with slits, or small incidental gaps between a shirt and pants.)>"Self-destructive behavior", with an example given being "taking a drink/shot of alcohol for a sub/donation".>Clothing that shows outlines of banned body parts, even if said body part is covered (dick prints, stiff nipples, ect). No idea how this applies to the Hips ban.>No clarification given on the loli/shota restrictions, and what constitutes a "child-like appearance", such as babyfaces or short/petite body types.Additionally, Twitch Support on X (formerly Twitter) answered many of the requests for clarification with a statement of, to paraphrase, "it depends on the context".It should also be noted that NONE of the enforcement updates regarding attire and appearance apply to VRChat models, as those are considered game models and not streamer avatars.Sources:https://x.com/TwitchSupport/status/1843331493466141071https://safety.twitch.tv/s/article/Community-Guidelines?language=en_US
>>86987381Shondo unironically just has to get her ass to other platforms, like converting her currently VOD channel on YT into a streaming one. Too bad YT might come for her due to the ongoning crackdown on ASMR.

>>86988023>Everything else is either predominantly porn or Instant 1-Digit loss minimum.or are dominated by politics and consider vtubers to be "degenerates" for illogical reasons and would ban them even faster
>>86987479Also pic rel
>>86990614I know where they were going with this, because accusing women of getting ahead with sexual favors is a common form of catty harassment, but it still reads like it's a cover-up.
>>86987479>with an example given being "taking a drink/shot of alcohol for a sub/donation"I don't know how I'd prove it--maybe waybacks of the old guidelines--but that's been the common knowledge since before feet were even allowed, possibly before non-gaming content was allowedNever seen it personally actually get enforced, though, but there's probably at least one fleshy from the ice days or something that got slapped with it
>>86988023>>Kick is a retard platform that is only scraping by because it's not in a top spot.*because they allow shady gambling practices on the platform, ftfy.

>>86996423On the one hand, she seems very well aware that she can't do this forever.On the other hand, she did recently tell tales buying and moving into a house for her whole family with a bunch of unusual features....and she is Satan, so...
>>86988023>Everything elseI've heard Pomf passed around as, basically, the non-political version of Kick, but it's not much better than uploading a video to catbox in terms of reach, unfortunately.

>>86987635Shifting platforms is really hard, especially for EN vtubers, and Twitch knows it. Twitch makes "channel surfing" really easy, while Youtube's viewer meta has been to crack open holodex and keep like 8 streams open at the same time.
>>86988023Dlive and odysee also exist.
>>87000532my impression of pomf, mostly from the name admittedly, is that it is primarily for individuals interested in crying emojis

>>86976987Gym Leader Brock anon here, it's Tuesday over in Japan and the market has closed.ANYCOLOR FALLS OVERAnycolor is back in the red today as we continue the week, closing out at 2371 (49) for the day. Performance for the day was rather stable after the initial hour, as it swayed between 2360-2380. They now see a 52 yen loss for this week, clocking in a 3 day streak of losses so far.COVER CAVES INCover takes the brunt of the heat today, as the stock retreats back to 1694 yen (-73) for the day. Their performance saw a gradual decline, with almost no upward momentum. They pull ahead of Anycolor in losses this week with a 58 yen loss overall.OTHERThe NIKKEI sees a loss today, clocking a 1.24% lossTrading Volumes:Anycolor: 307kCover Corp: 1.49 Million
>>87008734And here is tonight's biggest loser.That's all for this report, Gacha slop is having a big update tomorrow. So if you don't see me soon after the market closes you know what to blame. Regardless I'll see you in the next report.
>>87008734Thanks anon, as always.>>87001797nta. Both of those use blockchain and their own point/token system for monetization. Nobody who wants to monetize their content would like to be part of that, especially with how worthless those tokens currently are. And not everyone is comfortable using a platform used by people banned on Twitch/YT due to their questionable content.I appreciate that there are alternatives, but the only thing that would be trustworthy is hosting the content yourself (like PeerTube/owncast)... Except that you have to cover all bandwidth/infrastructure costs and hopefully make enough back from ads/sponsors, plus work with basically no discoverability.
>>86976930Mikeneko has settled her case against Mafumafu.She denies infidelity, DV, threats against third parties, and cat abuse.https://x.com/95rn16/status/1843563364573950463
>>87008734Post Scriptum anon here, one small notable achievement with the Anycolor price. This also marks the lowest they've been since they're dividends announcement. They're now only a mere 116 yen above their Pre-Dividend price (2255 yen). Albeit this just barely beats the previous record set on 9/18 (2372 yen).
Why is this thread regurgitate # dox and monkeyfaggotry as news?

>>87019473>Otherwise, fuck offYeah basically confirmed you're just another shitposting thread larping as ""news"".
>>87019662idiot. Go back to your shithole that is the catalog.
Since /news/ is keeping track of most generals, I do want to know one thing: What is the basic template for a OP post of a general?Thinking of creating a new one as I know there is interest for it.
there's no template. you come up with your own OP format. most have general info, list of link or faq about the topic and link to previous thread. that's about it.
>>87023074The format can vary depending on what the general is about (only one streamer, a group, a theme?). If you want to have an example, I think /wool/ is a good one.
>>87023074what's the topic?
>>87013681Was anyone even accusing her of cat abuse or did she just bring this up out of nowhere? Because that's a suspiciously specific thing to deny unprompted…
