Twitch Can't Stop Screwing Up
I worked at Twitch for almost half a decade. I had a great experience. I love Twitch. I'm scared it is going to die.
I hope this helps spur some real change.

Apple’s Weird War On Creators

Apple's decision to enforce their 30% cut on Patreon hurts a lot more than Patreon. It's insane they're so willing to take this much money from creators. Change is needed. I hope they consider it. Ty Ph4se0n3 for the edit!

My 2024 Tech Predictions (AI, VR, Cameras and more)
Preserving art is valuable. I hope more devs solve mild levels of EOL on their own, even if only one person a year take the time to explore those worlds. There is a way to distribute gimped versions of these worlds as dedicated servers. Thors takeaway of keep killing games is not it.
Apple is not anti-creator, apple is anti-consumer, how long will you guys need to realize it?
Canva sucks and they will run the Affinity suite in the ground.
As a professional game dev and avid gamer, the only entitled asshole is you.
I'm a software developer too. Making games for years. Thors argument is dumb. So is yours. You don't care about customers. You care about corporate greed.
Gamers are idiots, I would know being one with bonus points being a software engineer.
One of the reasons anything Apple will always be a very poor second choice for me. Monopoly and anti competitive practices stifle innovation. Look at Apples yearly 'non events' where recycling the tired 'same old, same old' has become an artform usually fanfared by increased price gouging!
If I am going to play devils advocate, To an extent it does make sense for any cloud service to have the ability to scan your images to ensure it’s not like, well really the only thing they could scan for is CSAM, but that is more so a result of how cloud services work and they need to ensure that the people who use their shit won’t fuck them over because that has happened before, The solution, however, is to *not* fucking use cloud services to begin with, or to not put anything you never want to be scene on there, pictures of Shrek and like a lemon at most but there’s a million ways to avoid them, they make like 2Tb flash drives now, most people struggle to fill 1Tb, you buy it once, boom, yours, take it anywhere, put it anywhere, don’t gotta worry about it being hacked unless your PC is hacked but that’s a bigger and different issue.
Any update?
Wow this ratio goes hard
Man got destroyed.
Another guy pretending to be a gamer while shitting on them, color me surprised. This has really brought out the anti-consumer crowd.
Yea like damn people, Ross and many others are advocating for you and your rights, and you stand with the scum of the earth like Theo? Thor? And every company? Yikes, there’s hope left in this world
I bought Affinity photo since then no more photoshop, waiting for Affinity to release Lightroom alternative
Capture One is a great alternative to Lightroom and is available with a perpetual license.
Thanks and what options are the left ? Now that affinity will be ruined
Canva is pure trash 🤢🤮
It really boils down to one fact: If i buy a copy of a book, I can use that as long as I please. If I **buy** a copy of a game, the exact same should be true. If I'm buying 6 months of access to your game servers then **SAY SO CLELARLY.** plenty of MMOs do this. "It got upgraded and you want to play the old version, stupid" HOLY what a terrible take. This perfectly exemplifies the issue: You as the dev should not have the right to change what I have already purchased without my ability to opt out. Valve allowing choice in what version to play is exactly the bare minimum. "We don't solve the problem by making lives harder for game devs" If it's harder for you to provide a product that respects those who pay for it, then you've been crossing a line you shouldn't have been already.
Damn right
This why the *doom scrolling* feature inspired or used by other platforms like social media as well Tiktok makes unbearable as Twitch User and Creator myself it's taking way too much space, power and useless attention spawn already in general. Issues I noticed for very long time with the mobile version is the bugs that keeps happen: 1. If you scroll too fast or often it will froze middle of it -> you've to re-open the app. 2. the current UI of the mobile app is mix with the older version (specially while viewing the channel page), which shouldn't be the case consider everything looks so modern. 3. The streams keeps running in the background when you minimize the current one (ends up taking more phone performance and CPU) for absolutely no reason. 4. Not all users know if the streamer uses let's say 3rd-party emotes such 7TV, FFZ or any other extensions that's actually hidden on the right corner in the mobile app's chat (if you watch stream, and if they've extensions added those are usually for about section on desktop). I wish they could bring back the older version, I don't need this modern looking Twitch... it's burning my phone!
Another video mentioned a software called "Capture One Pro". It looks like an Adobe Lightroom competitor. Has anyone used Capture One Pro and Adobe Lightroom, and care to provide their own experiences with Capture One Pro vs Lightroom?
Fuck with others and nobody will know fuck with "creators" and you will create a PR disaster.
Lightroom - Darktable. The best photo editing software in the world.
My late wife was an Adobe subscriber. When she passed and I was cleaning up all her subs and accounts, I could not readily find anywhere to cancel on the website, so I just cancelled the card and let them spin on it. I did not even try to call, because I knew from many many comments that I would have had to go through a nightmare of a process had I done so. This was pretty common for a lot of her subs, actually. Too many of them *required* a phone call to cancel, even though they accepted entirely-web-based signups. I knew from experience with a couple of them how hard they were to cancel at all, so I did the same thing, just let them spin after I cancelled the card, and deleted all their email to her old account. The bigger the corporation, the more complicated and difficult the cancellation process was. There should be a law prohibiting this. Any business that offers subscriptions should be required by regulation to provide a cancellation process that matches the signup process, is every bit as visible as the signup process, and is no more complicated than the sign-up process. If you can subscribe via web or email, then you should be able to unsubscribe via web or email; no phones, no endless phone trees and transfers, no incompetent employees, and no repeated sales attempts. I should not have to search for a tiny obscured link at the bottom of the last piece of an overly-complicated settings page (which I was only able to find after googling "how to unsubscribe from-"), or fill out pages of forms explaining why you want to cancel, only to be told they are no longer accepting cancellations via the website and I will need to call their customer support number, which they do not clearly provide anywhere on the site, but make you go all the way through their "online assistant" BS to get it. If I can subscribe by a single click and email verification link (and entering a credit card number), then I should be able to unsubscribe by a single click and email verification link.
Whats the tool you are using for removing the backgrounds in 18:39 could you please share it
It's like an NFT-bro whining that someone called him out on exploiting a blatant pyramid scheme. What a s<umba6.
Lmao yes
Just use krita + gimp. I know it's not as smooth as PS. But they are pretty good right now...
found you through Anything Else, great creator!

Who is watching in 2025 😢
Congratulations on being wrong. It's okay to defend your friend but that doesn't mean he's 100% correct, that's one of the most stupid things I've ever heard.
good info thanks for this one
Feels good knowing you got an absolute ratio for this biased opinion. Just because it involves your friend doesn't mean you have to be a retard about it.
Yea. Thor is getting slammed by everyone and this guy actually thought his malicious take would make us think different
i understand that you got triggered over your friend getting blasted for his bad takes but you're just making a fool of yourself
I see why they are friends
At first I thought you're a troll trying to fan the flames and pull Thor into the line of fire. I never saw someone torpedo his own position this hard. They are our customers and with all the stuff our craft as pulled in the last 14 years, we had this coming. Are there entitled gamers? Yes, but all you did was display your own entitlement. Jesus Christ, I don't think there is something you could have done to make us look worse.
I frost though this was a parody, but it stopped being funny and he starting sounding serious. Which made it even more funny but also sad that people like this live among us
Apple is doing the right thing it’s the CEO of Epic games that has violated Apple’s App store rules
"Gamers are entitled and shit on devs" No, people don't want shit games with shit stories and want tools to preserve them once the companies give up on them, if you are a dev and working on these games, you will rightfully get flakked. You and Thor are def industry plants.
Company shills for sure
DAMN less than 1/4 of the view you WERE getting?? Wow guess that video attacking consumers REALLY ENDED YOUR CHANNEL huh?? you should quit youtube it would be more respectable than continuing in a state of pathesis
wrong soy java dev L, trying to crush the hard work of an honest man (ross) to back up your loser nodev friend (pirate software)
You're being an entitled 💩 bag if you dont like it just dont publish on the appstore :^)
More reason to pirate games
I only pirate software Theo has made
what. no more yachts for them.
Gaming culture is so fucked. I cant go on any 9nline game reddit and not see morons shit on devs. Gamers genuinly are assholes
You understand devs and companies are the ones killing games right?
I have disliked Abode since the Creative Crap launched in 2015. Glad to see there be some good, paid alternatives to that, shall i say it, monopoly of the design space. Great video, btw!
you know the take is bad when he proudly starts with "i am a ceo", not a single conflict of interest there
God it hurts to see. The guy literally financial motivation to fight back as he does these same terrible practices that Ross is trying to stop.
Sorry I'm already FOSS
Remember lots of softwares failures, don't remember any hype about it. Why can't you just quietly stop using Adobe products without announcing it to the wild like many of us do? Remember, actions speak, not words.😊
Drink every time he says "entitled"
My friend just died of alcohol poisoning. I fear I may be next
i disagree
They should make a Linux build. That's the real market imo
I am on Android and for a while now I have been able to open the following list while having the stream I'm watching still open in PIP and looking at the live feed. Apparently some people have told me on iOS can't even find the following popup list. A workaround for clip editing is you can stitch together pieces that are too far apart using highlighter and then make a clip from the highlight. It breaks sometimes but I've done it a few times.
I use Affinity Photo 2, and my dad uses Affinity Photo 1. We both love it very much!
I hope they add an option to where you can export affinity docs straight to a canva doc right from affinity, ive been asked to design stuff in Canva before and if I could design in affinity and press a "send to Canva" button for my client or boss to look at then that would be really useful.
