"This is harassment... thank you so much for your ten dollar donation!"

 

[Nekofrog]

I watch a lot of LoL streams and haven't run into any male "characters."

sure you have, you just don't know it.

 

[Neiteio]

you are talking about /b/ here

many users told those cancer users many times to stop giving them attention and visibility

some of those girls also post on /b/ as anonymous just to start the raid on their channel

I'm not sure I understand your post (seriously). Can you please rephrase what you just said, and also explain what /b/ is?

My friend linked me to this:

It's fucking weird.

That's a pretty weird hustle. Odd thing is I'm sure a lot of people are in on it but they enjoy the act anyway. It's perverse from all angles 'cept in terms of that dosh.

 

[LowParry]

These trolls are fucking idiots, I respect this hustle.

It's like a two fold madness. White Knights vs the kids.

 

[Fracas]

I watch a lot of LoL streams and haven't run into any male "characters."

Almost all of them

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Well you can solve it by not watching those streams.

But Twitch is more entertainment than just gaming, so it's not a problem.

You could say the same thing for Youtube. Pewdiepie acting nets him 7 million a year, and people rather watch that than a Let's Play with shitty commentary.

 

[entremet]

Isn't this like anything? I don't watch or follow content I don't care for. It's like complaining about books I have no interest in reading.

 

[urge26]

He's changed his name... thank god, it was "illegal"

 

[neshcom]

It kiiiiinda makes me want to send in a nice comment--which feels like the most manipulative part.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Good on the girls for making that money. Gamer dudes are stupid.

 

[Karak]

Honestly...sadly all I am seeing is basically TV as it will be in just a couple years. In many ways as it is right now actually.

 

[CoLaN]

Most of those people are going to charge back their donations.

With Youtube Gaming joining the streaming scene, i think Twitch should stop allowing those kind of streams to be on top of their site.

They could become the new Myspace, and suffer the same fate.

At what point is the transaction final and she has their money?

 

[Derphoof]

She's gotta be making bank off of this. Feels like there's about 5 donations every minute.

 

[maniac-kun]

She cant decide if she is evicted or has enough kills?

 

[toddhunter]

The bigger problem I have seen is a popular streamer using tinder on stream.

Broadcasting live to 20k+ people that a girl is a "no" is only going to end really badly.

Twitch need to be doing a lot more in a lot of ways.

 

[UberTag]

Can't hate the hustle.

Taking money from rubes is an age old tradition.

 

[Shady859]

I'm not sure I understand your post (seriously). Can you please rephrase what you just said, and also explain what /b/ is?

/b/ is the random catch all of 4chan, basically the gutter of the internet. Equal parts disgusting, perverted, hilarious all at once until it 404's and is gone forever.

 

[CoLaN]

At what point is the transaction final and she has their money?

With donations people can chargeback even weeks later.

 

[ultratruman]

Truly the world's oldest profession.

 

[7DollarHagane]

They should take these "donations" from the streamer and donate it to a women's charity or other charity.

 

[7DollarHagane]

At what point is the transaction final and she has their money?

This being the internet and credit card fraud being so incredibly prolific I wonder how many twitch stream donations are made using fraudulent credit cards or bank accounts..

 

[Neiteio]

With donations people can chargeback even weeks later.

When you say "chargeback," you mean they can get a refund, right? So she doesn't get the money. So at what point is the money safely hers? Because yeah, if people can refund, this won't work well for her in the end.

 

[The Jutty]

I don't mind them exploiting the trolls. Keeps them away from other users and they are making some money good on them.

 

[Dimitri LH]

.....I swear im having Dejavu. I could of sworn we had this exact thread before.

 

[maniac-kun]

I just dont get why twitch allows this thing.

tbh they also do

And here I am having to work in boring law stuff and trying to write a book to make a few dollars

Chargebacks are usually around 90 days, right? But you also can't make chargebacks regularly. Your bank will realize that you're abusing the system. If this is a regular thing on her channel...

 

[Violent_Shin]

Let's Be Illegal guys!

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I feel like I joined this twitch stream in the middle of one of those efukt camgirl breakdown videos.

 

[Hazaro]

I never knew this was actually a thing but the first time I saw this happening was from a popular female streamer and thought she was getting attacked by these trolls calling her names and stuff and then she started crying and wanted them to leave her alone.

I just think it's pathetic that Twitch let these streams happen and go on, they just serve no purpose on a game live streaming platform like Twitch. I just want people to find out that this is going on and nobody has said or done anything about it until now.

But she's Arteezy now

 

[Derphoof]

I don't know many people who would issue a chargeback over a dollar.

 

[Ikuu]

Haha, changing her name to Arteezy.

 

[T.O.P]

Crah Crah

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

wtf or who tf is arteezy and why did she change her name to arteezy?

 

[Altairre]

The internet was a mistake, it's nothing but trash.

 

[Neiteio]

OK, the donations seem to have dried up.

 

[Shai-Tan]

I don't know many people who would issue a chargeback over a dollar.

Yeah, it's the unusually big donations that tend to get a chargeback.

 

[Nabs]

wtf or who tf is arteezy and why did she change her name to arteezy?

She had to get him back for being illegal and changing his name to hers.

OK, the donations seem to have dried up.

I think her computer is acting up a bit.

A little bit. Not to the extreme she's making it seem.

 

[Ikuu]

wtf or who tf is arteezy and why did she change her name to arteezy?

http://www.twitch.tv/arteezy

He changed his Steam name to HelenaLive earlier.

 

[Lyonaz]

You're seeing real tears and fears now, because she thinks her money stream dried up. Whahahaha. >.<

 

[greycolumbus]

Just noticed the contouring. Oh my.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

She had to get him back for being illegal and changing his name to hers.

 

[T.O.P]

She's crashed as fuck guys

 

[maniac-kun]

Boyfriend called her batshit crazy? I wonder why.

 

[xBlain]

I'm enjoying this

 

[Neiteio]

Hmm, she's offline now.

Perhaps I can get back to work.

 

[El Odio]

Oh man, is she actually done riding that gravy train for today?
