What you are doing is ruining your own brand

What you are doing is ruining your own brand

Stop! 

Please stop doing dumb shit. 

Man I can't say this enough. If a gigantic company is telling you to run ad's to make money on a site that we don't want to end up like YouTube, then man, give your head a shake. 

Is it worth the fucking 0.05 cent's to piss off your entire fan base, scare off any and all new comers to your content as they are met with 20+ second ads cause you have to have that fucking nickel.  

 

They are telling you straight up, don't fucking run ads! Stop! Stop running fucking ads!

Man, some people just can't get it, they will never get it. Not till one day they log in and realize how bad things are. How the audience has moved on and YOU were the contributor to it. You could have taken a stand, you could have left the system at the default, but man you wanted that 0.05 cents right. Now your brand and content is dog shit no one will watch because they can't stand sitting though your crap.

This sucks, because I like group games, but man I can't. I can't sit there letting someone benefit off my content on their channel and run ads. The ads have to stop.

Its literally no different that a guy faking his numbers on his channel by buying bots. The person running ads during their stream is just as guilty at fucking over the community. They both are doing terrible things to the potential audience who just wants to connect with them. 

They are not your wallet man, they are there to be entertained not made to watch ads, not made to support you unwillingly, not lied to about your viewership. Stop faking viewer ship, stop buying bots, stop using devices to inflate ANY numbers, and stop running ads. 

Anyways, you can't control others the only thing you can do is limit your involvement and content with them. I think I am going to step back and run solo content for a while, see if I can't get people to stop by and actually talk instead of making them wait to watch ads before they even see what I am playing.
