So gifted subs don't count when it comes to qualifying for the Partner Plus Program, but they DO count when it comes to the $100k threshold on YOUR earnings.
Yikes,

Every time I think Adin has actually changed it goes back to this
Have you ever calculated how many monthly subs you’d need to replace your full-time job’s income?
I did. One thing is for sure. I can’t “just stream”.

The S4S/F4F on Twitter is RAMPANT right now
"Drop your links, I'll follow!"
"Who should I gift 100 subs to tonight?"
"Join my Discord to grow your stream!"
🤮
Don't fall for it.
Let's talk about the green elephant in the room.
The Twitter/X Spaces around the recent Kick controversies have been interesting to listen to and I wanted to share some thoughts on what I've heard.
There was a space held on Sunday around the Ice Poseidon clip and Eddie's

That is to say - in order to unlock an hourly rate, you'd need

There’s lot of poo-poo’ing this announcement because Twitch Guidelines don’t allow for a combined chat.
I’ll say the same thing I said when I was openly multi-streaming to Twitch/Kick for months :
I don’t believe Twitch has the capacity or concern to enforce this.
Until
Me : “Kick has issues”
Kick Community : “You suck! There are no issues! Ur just a hater!”
Co-founder of Kick : “Kick has issues, but we are addressing them.”
Kick Community : “Common Kick W!”
Damn I love the internet. 😂

Everyone’s favorite top gifter on kick got upset at me because I asked him to please not send me unsolicited dick pics- if this is what y’all are doing for subs, please keep me out of it I am good.
How does a

I feel like I know the obvious answer, but I'm curious if someone can convince me otherwise.
Tails once raided me with the strength of a thousand suns and absolutely WRECKED my stream (in a good way). A lot of those viewers became regulars in my stream and I’m super grateful her and her community ☺️
Really excited to see her returning to streaming soon ❤️
Nothing makes me happier than being able to post this announcement…
I’ll be returning to stream this Sunday, Feb 4th at 3pm EST
Writing this literally brings tears to my eyes because I’ve been waiting for this day for say long. Time to come back home🥹😭

Every streaming platform sucks in their own special way right now.
And you don’t need to pledge loyalty to any of them, because you can be damn sure they ain’t loyal to you.
Anyone who tells you different is probably selling something.
Listen to your gut.
Viewbotting is disingenuous and lazy, but usually only affects those who chose to lie to themselves and their community.
However, a platform that would allow fake engagement in their Partner Program’s qualifying metrics is bad for EVERYONE.
It would compromise the validity of

My heart is in a million pieces.
Yesterday, my best friend and companion Loki lost his battle with osteosarcoma.
He became very ill very quick and there was no surgery or treatment to address what was happening to his body.
He passed away in my arms and while I’m glad he

My unprofessional review of Las Vegas as a TwitchCon host :
Convention Center 🏢 : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tons of space for all the vendors, but unfortunately some booths were tucked far away from most foot traffic, but that’s not the venue’s fault. Overall, great venue with a nice food
Creators can start monetizing on YouTube earlier after today's changes were announced to the YPP.
- 500 Subscribers
- 3 Public Uploads in the last 90 days
- 3000 watch hours in the past year OR 3M Shorts views in the last 90 days
I'm ready to feel old when nobody gets this reference.
This feels like the analogy for Twitch & Kick right now. Sure you make less money on Team Pup'n'Suds, but who cares? ur a "soul skater"! Meanwhile, Team X-Blade is out here like..."ok soul skater..." (laughs in 95% revenue)
My worst fears have come true.
After undergoing a series of tests, my best friend Loki has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer).
This is a very aggressive disease and the treatment options don’t leave much room for optimism.
Loki has been a part of my streams since
Hey Twitch Partners - would you be open to sharing with me how many paid subs you have on average?

This is completely indefensible. I don’t give a shit how “edgy” you think the platform is.

This is not advice - just an observation.
I post on TikTok about once a week right now and I’m growing at the same rate as people I know posting 3-5 times PER DAY.
I feel like TikTok is broken and nobody knows how to algorithm at this point.
I was just at Chipotle grabbing lunch and I walked into the store to notice the rug at the entrance was all folded over and clearly a tripping hazard, so I fixed it.
I order my bowl and get to the cashier where they say "We're only able to accept cash at this time, system just
Sometimes I look at other creators just PUMPING OUT CONTENT and say “Where do they find the time?” and question my creativity.
But then I remember that comparison is the thief of joy and I have to go at my own pace.

Well…my stream room is officially gone.
It’s now a “multipurpose room” staged to sell the house.
Sad to see it go, but excited to make new memories in my next stream room!
🥰
Does it feel like TikTok is only pushing videos selling random bullshit on TikTok shop...or is that just my feed?
My FYP used to be fun and controversial 🔥
Now it's just a never ending TikTok commercial 💰
I didn't know this needed to be said... but Follow4Follow/Support4Support methods are BAD.
You will only be followed by people who don't care about your content.
If you want to grow anywhere, you need to provide value to gain a following.
Hollow Follow ≠ Value
Taking a break from content creation to take care of yourself is not the end of the world.
I’ve been on pause since September to deal with a lot of IRL life stuff and it’s been great!
Be good to yourself ❤️
There’s no rules against re-posting old content on TikTok/YT shorts.
If you are fresh out of content or just think a video should have done better than it did, POST THAT ISH AGAIN!
(watching people argue with streamers in their chat)
Hey y'all...Never argue with someone that has a microphone when all you have is a keyboard.
YOU. WILL. LOSE.
Even if you have valid points.
Dan Clancy (Twitch CEO) said in an interview with
@JakeSucky
that it's Twitch's business to know how much they spend on operations.

"Streamers need to worry about themselves and they (Twitch) will worry about themselves.”
Yikes, dude. 😳
Let people celebrate.
Nobody is ripping up their new contract because you don’t agree with the platform or company they partnered with.
Not your brand. Not your problem.
You can have an opinion without shitting on someone else’s big moment.
It has been done before.
Yesterday it was Mastodon. Today it’s Hive.
If there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s that I don’t have the energy to chase down the next social media thing.
Putting your Twitch link in your going live tweet reply isn't suppressing your impressions.
I've been flopping mine out for all to see since October and if anything, I'm getting more impressions.
One thing I've learned through this whole process of having a tweet that gets a lot of attention :
"News" accounts are perfectly willing to put words in your mouth to get clicks on their article. 😐
This is the “I met awesome people at TwitchCon” thread.
I’d also like to apologize to those I met and did NOT grab a photo with! The interactions go so fast!
74 Subs. 56 Follows. EPIC stream!
Raiding out tonight with 75 viewers is something I’ve always dreamed of. I am so thankful to each of you for coming in and rockin’ with me tonight!
I've never been more excited for my next stream. See you on Tunesday 🤘🏻

Hey. Make TikToks out of your tweets.
