Elon Musk's Starlink service helps wrestlers, school kids with high-speed internet at home

Some of the first users of Elon Musk’s new satellite internet service are rural North Carolina children and the family of pro wrestler Matt Hardy.Paul Woolverton  |  USA TODAY NETWORKFormer professional wrestler Reby Hardy and other people who live or have businesses in remote or rural parts of North Carolina have had a problem for years: Limited or no access to high-speed internet connections in a 21st-century society and business world that demands it.That is starting to change.New technologies in development promise to bring broadband speeds to remote and sparsely populated communities. Traditional internet service providers, such as cable and telecommunications companies, have long eschewed these potential customers due to the cost of extending their infrastructure to them.Further, North Carolina law has prevented city and county governments from trying to fill the gap the private sector refused to address.“If nothing else, the COVID pandemic has showed us that broadband is not merely a service. It should be viewed as infrastructure,” said Republican state Rep. John Szoka of Cumberland County. When the schools closed and shifted to remote learning online in spring 2020 because of the crisis, many children were left without any way to attend school, he said.Szoka sees high-speed internet as much a societal necessity as public streets, electrical service,…

ZLaner hilariously cosplays as banned Dr Disrespect in World Series of Warzone

For the $1.2 million World Series of Warzone event, every competitor went live on Twitch — and Zack ‘ZLaner’ Lane decided to show solidarity with his duo Dr Disrespect by cosplaying as the Two-Time and bringing his spirit back to the platform. Dr Disrespect was banned from Twitch in June 2020 under mysterious circumstances. To this day nobody, including Doc himself apparently, has any idea why he was banned. While the ban remains a mystery, it has been pushed back on by many of his fans and other streamers, especially as the ASMR and hot tub ‘metas’ of Twitch appear to regularly push the boundaries of the platform. ZLaner — who usually streams on Facebook but headed to Twitch once again for this Twitch Rivals event — decided to show solidarity with his brother on the battlefield by showing up as the Doc. Instagram: drdisrespectThe Doc’s ban still remains a mystery to just about everyone. While ZLaner and his trio partners ClutchBelk and Destroy put in an incredible performance to come in eighth place, it was his appearance that got people talking when tuning into his stream. Even attempting to impersonate Dr Disrespect’s voice, ZLaner shared a message with his…

Withawonder isn’t a huge name on the platform, with just over 21k followers, but will regularly have a fairly active chat — and that’s something he’s being accused of taking advantage of. On Wednesday, June 23, a thread was posted to the popular Livestreamfail subreddit with screenshots that appear to show withawonder finding girls in his chat, inviting them to his Discord, and then sending them inappropriate messages. The case in point, from Redditor WafflesAreExtinct, apparently shows withawonder non-plussed by the fact that they say they’re just 17 years old. In fact, the first set of screenshots shows the accused saying “Young, I like that,” before sending an indecent video of himself. withawonder pedo The post also included several screenshots of withawonder’s Twitch DMs to the accuser, confirming it was him and immediately seeking to find out whether the viewer was a girl. Finally, upon the viewer admitting that they were putting together a thread to post on Reddit about his behavior, withawonder resorted to using racial slurs. “I know you were fake,” he…

Matt Heafy now earns more money from Twitch than from Trivium's digital streaming revenue

Home News (Image credit: Matt Heafy / Trivium) While a large proportion of an artist's audience comes by way of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, payouts are often minuscule, so it's no wonder they're resorting to less conventional methods to generate cash.Take Matt Heafy, for example: he's the frontman of Trivium, one of the most successful metal bands in the world, yet he earns more money from livestreaming on Twitch than he does from the band's music on all streaming platforms combined.In a new interview with the New York Times, Heafy reveals that his Twitch channel generated just shy of $10,000 per month in 2019 and 2020, while Trivium collectively receive around $11,000 per month from all other on-demand streaming services.For reference, Heafy's Twitch channel currently has over 220,000 followers, while Trivium's Spotify page boasts around 1.8 million monthly listeners.Based on these figures, Twitch streaming could be seen as the more lucrative endeavor, but for Heafy, it's pretty much a full-time job.The Trivium main man engages with his audience six hours a day, five days a week, streaming content from guitar clinics, light-hearted covers and video gameplay to AMA-style Q&A sessions with fans.“Even if I don't feel like…

Amouranth hits back at ASMR criticism after her Twitch ban: “It's enormously ironic”

Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa has hit back at criticism that her controversial ASMR Twitch streams create “creepers” that harass and plague other female creators, claiming that it’s “enormously ironic.” Amouranth’s latest Twitch ban resulted from her controversial ASMR streams, which have been subject to widespread criticism from viewers and content creators alike, including Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar, and Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys. However, the biggest concern has been that such streams could create a flow-on effect where creepy viewers who only watch that kind of content move on to other female content creators on the platform and harass them. Amouranth refuted those claims, and now she’s doubled-down on her stance and slammed people who hold that view for being “enormously ironic” for glossing over the issue and blaming it on things that “have no basis.” Twitch / AmouranthAmouranth believes her ASMR streams aren’t inherently problematic for the platform. “I will always find it enormously ironic that the generation that fought “violent video games don’t cause an uptick in gun/violent crimes” instantly turn tail and succumb to a bad take like ‘hot tub/ASMR girls literally create creepers that plague other girl creators!'” she said. “I always wondered how ‘think of the children’…
