Exactly. Something like the adpocalypse was bound to happen eventually. When it did, Google burned its small-time creators and went for the easy ad revenue. Now everything is cable TV again, except for Twitch that is...

That's exactly it. The corporate stuff not only gets a lot of eyeballs but it also is absolutely safe to run ads on. And you can charge a lot more for those ads. A circa 2014 Jenna Marbles video with questionable themes is going to get at most a million views. A Marvel movie trailer that's as controversial as a bucket of warm wallpaper paste is a lock for at least 100 million views. What would YouTube rather sell ads for?
So yeah it's not at all surprising YouTube's algorithm promotes safe corporate garbage these days. I'm saying that Twitch is going to become that right before our very eyes sooner rather than later.

It's the one time you SHOULD watch twitch, only because 95% of the idiots will be there and the leftovers will be actual people with communities chilling instead of the usual assholes who shit in the corner on cam and instantly get $300 gifted to them.
That said, I probably won't watch either Twitch, nor the Twitchcon. I'm 18. Plus 13. It's beyond my demographic. The only flossing I do is between my teeth and between my hairy butt cheeks with a towel post shower trying to get dry. Sorry Ellen.

All we can hope is Crowbcat releases another godly video.

Honestly, as far as I know, the majority that get/got the most attention and traffic hardly even touch games anymore. It's all drama and IRL stuff. A lot of them were gambling or doing slots. The only ones I tune into semi regularly are ones that play games. LIRIK, AvoidingThePuddle, and a few others.
They just weren't deep enough (pun not intended). So with that high jump she was hitting the floor and the foams did jack shit.

From that clip alone, you can tell those commentators are in some ways what they consider perfect for that audience, because they are that audience. "She lives in the pit now" is the exact comment you would see in a comment section or chat. No professionalism, just amateurs with microphones.
They won't be able to afford professionals next time either, because lawyers are undoubtedly queueing up for an open and shut case.

The average social skills on display at any con I've been to regardless of genre has ranged from cringe to 'these people never interact with the real world outside more than once a year' levels.
Gamers by large magnitude are isolated social herpaderps, we all know this, no one should be surprised. I remember watching 3 guys talking about how they were going to get the number of the cosplay girl standing at the next booth and watched in amusement as each of them went the color of tomato as she signed their mousepads and shit in total silence. One of them then went to the bathroom to throw up cause he had an anxiety attack from the ordeal of seeing a real girl up close.
such is life

I've read that everyone signed a waiver before participating in this game.
That said, absolute insane situation and Twitch better step up. That "pit" is like a foot deep, the fuck did they think was going to happen?

This is a terrible and dismissive comment of someone who has quite obviously put back breaking effort into her career.

I can't imagine that a waiver will hold up given the negligence on Twitch's part, if you're paid to be somewhere I would think the organiser still has a responsibility especially with multiple people being hurt. But I don't know anything about USA law, so maybe not

I think it's a Lenovo Legion stand, so maybe Twitch dodges the bullet here and Lenovo will be scrambling some kind of statement soon.
Wasn't she accused of mailing her hormone drugs to underage kids?

Put her injury aside, how low can you get to comment with such absurd comments like "she's ok, get her out of the pit"! They literally brought a porn whore just for attention and view her as a tool/asset, that's it.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
The good news is that she's quite used to working while lying on her back.

I actually looked her up on PH out of mild curiosity, and the thumbnails alone made me very quickly turn off and delete my browsing history and made me clench my bum.
Just ouch/gross.

nothing says hidden danger than some foam cubes on a concrete floor.

TBH those - checks notes - 'black rods' went into something that is most of the time way better lubrified against wear and tear than the back.
Waivers are like EULAs, worthless.

It’s mostly socially inept dudes and fake gamer chicks promoting their sub-par OnlyFans. What do you expect?
