Brooke Ashley Bond, better known by her Twitch handle BrookAB, shared a shocking private message from a stalker after getting criticized for not attending TwitchCon.  BrookAB informed her fans on May 27 that she would not be attending TwitchCon, which is taking place in July. She explained that she just doesn't feel safe due to her "stalkers and constant death threats."  Many fans came forward to support BrookAB and her tough decision, saying that she doesn't need to apologize for wanting to feel safe. Others questioned why she was getting death threats, which prompted some to reply that it was simply for "being a female streamer." While most people expressed understanding over BrookAB's dilemma, some accused BrookAB of being dramatic. Some even tweeted that they were tired of hearing about her stalkers.  BrookAB replied: "Imagine how tired I am."  The 100 Thieves streamer then shared one of her recent DMs, a long, unhinged rant that was littered with threats. The man in the screenshot appeared to be angry at BrookAB for "giggling and flirting" on stream rather than playing video games. He also seemed angry at BrookAB for her treatment of Twitch streamer Symfuhny, her boyfriend. In response, he threatened…

The still unexplained Twitch ban for Dr Disrespect is forcing him to implement some very strange rule in his upcoming Fortnite tournament. Dr Disrespect – real name Herschel Beahm – has begun sending out the rules for his upcoming $100,000 Fortnite tournament, which has begun to catch some flak from the community due to its increasingly weird nature.  Beahm was banned from Twitch in 2020 for still unknown reasons and the situation landed both sides in court. As the tournament will be broadcast by competitors on Twitch, the rules mostly involve restrictions for those who plan on streaming their attempts at winning the cash price. The rules include not mentioning Dr Disrespect by name, including his chosen nicknames ‘Two-time’, and ‘Blockbuster video game champion’. The team behind the event also request you don’t call it anything but ‘Hot Shot Duo Drop featuring Fortnite’, if you’re mentioning what you’re doing on stream.  Of course, none of these rules appears to apply to YouTube, where Disrespect has been streaming for a while now. With Dr Disrespect also participating in the event, other teams will have to mute the streamer if he’s on the microphone and ensure they don’t feature him in the…

One of the most popular recording artists in the world will be on Twitch today. Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter Bad Bunny is set to make an appearance on Spanish streamer Ibai’s Twitch broadcast today. Ibai, who said he had been nervous in anticipation of this, announced the news that Bad Bunny will be chatting and playing some games with him once the stream goes live at 12pm CT. Ibai has carved out an incredibly successful career on Twitch, including a milestone stream exactly one year ago in which more than 1.5 million viewers tuned into a boxing event called La Velada del Año, or The Evening of the Year, that Ibai hosted and featured other popular Spanish streamers and content creators. That broadcast has the second-most concurrent viewers in Twitch history, only trailing fellow Spanish streamer TheGrefg, who set the seemingly untouchable record of 2.4 million concurrent viewers in January 2021. If there is a single person who could help Ibai surpass his previous personal viewership record, Bad Bunny would likely be the one to do so, considering he might be the most famous person to appear live on a Twitch stream. Born in Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny…

Dive Brief: TikTok is introducing a monthly live subscription feature as it tries to diversify monetization tools for content creators, according to a company blog post. Live Subscriptions are available on an invite-only basis starting today (May 26) but will expand availability in the months ahead. Perks include badges that subscribers can attach to their profile and upgrade over time, emotes custom-designed by creators for their followers and subscriber-only chats to create a deeper connection between the creator and their community. That sounds a lot like how existing livestreaming platforms — namely Amazon’s Twitch — function. Creators might appreciate TikTok’s promise of “predictable monthly income,” per a promotional video, while a bigger push into livestreaming could open new avenues for brands that are eager to reach a global audience that now tops 1 billion users. Dive Insight: TikTok made a name on ultra-short, prerecorded videos, but it clearly sees an opportunity in the more free-form realm of livestreaming. Live Subscriptions closely mirrors the model popularized by Twitch and later adopted by Facebook and others: Creators receive monthly payments for producing broadcasts, while subscribers gain access to special perks, like custom emotes to post in the chat feed. In terms of…

Gambling streams have been a growing sticking point for some Twitch viewers. There are people who disagree with this practice because many streamers initially attracted their audience with games and have now shifted their focus to gambling. Others see it as problematic because, in essence, it promotes bets unregulated among an audience made up largely of minors who are easily influenced. Lucrative betting endorsements, like the one signed by the former streamer of TwitterAdin Ross, who paid almost 4 million dollars a month, have only added fuel to the fire. Some people, like xQc, have even been criticized by other content creators for their transmissions from bets in Twitter. With him in particular, the choice to gamble online while others watch is particularly questionable given that xQc recently admitted he has a gambling addiction and lost $1.85 million in just one month. In June 2021, he said that he would stop creating such content due to the negative impact it could have on his audience. Instead of giving up, however, he recently began performing transmissions from bets sponsored. In defense of the decision, the streamer rationalized that it would have a positive effect on viewers because “people will see that…
