    “We believe there is value in hearing from Presidential nominees directly, when possible. Trump is now the official Republican nominee for US President.”

    AKA: it’s more profitable for us to let him stream his hatred on our platform again.

      Eh, it makes sense. Hopefully the more people hear his words directly, the less they should want to vote for him.

        When has that ever worked out for anyone? Trump will fuck over anyone and everyone, he doesn’t care about you unless you have something he needs from you.

          Trump has worked out wonderfully for a lot of people from the 1%. Both as a result of tax cuts as well as regulatory favors for folks that pay up and / or make nice. Elon for example is in for plenty of return on investment.

            Totally agree. He is only looking out for himself, and if you’re someone like him, you might get some benefit as well. He’s not going out of his way to help anyone who can’t help him in someway. And even if you can help in some way, the nanosecond he doesn’t need you anymore, he’ll abandon you.

    Twitch disabled the account following the Jan. 6 riot on the US Capitol in 2021 due to “the current extraordinary circumstances and the President’s incendiary rhetoric” before issuing an indefinite suspension two weeks later, according to a Twitch spokesperson.

    Guess we’ll all just collectively forget about this now that’s he’s the Republican nominee again ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Anyone know how subs and bit donations work on the campaign finance side? This feels like some weird gray area where supporters can give money to a politician. I guess it’s not that different than selling assassination sneakers. But something smells weird to me
