Entertainment Published: 19/Jan/2021 3:36 by Brad Norton Twitch / Instagram: lirik Popular Twitch streamer Saqib ‘LIRIK’ Zahid has pitched a new idea that aims to bring all of the biggest personalities together on a unified channel for a good cause.  LIRIK has long been one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. Closing in on three million followers, his channel ranks as one of the most popular on the Amazon-owned platform. Though in an attempt to help Twitch, he’s willing to help build out an entirely new channel. When streamers end their broadcasts for the day, more often than not, they’ll look to host someone else. From other big names to up and comers, hosting can be a major boost to any given channel. Whether you have 1,000 viewers or 100,000, sending your audience across injects a healthy dose of viewership. LIRIK wants to see the hosting feature used in a brand new way. Rather than hosting each other for personal gains, the biggest streamers could all have one unified channel to host instead. Here’s how it would work. One channel on twitch.. when you go offline you host it. All big streamers push viewers to it, the whole purpose of…

One of Twitch’s most popular streamers Mizkif has reached one million followers on the livestreaming platform. The streamer surpassed the milestone today and doesn’t appear to be slowing down with his channel continuing to grow substantially by the day. While Mizkif has been streaming for several years now, his channel gained a huge spike in momentum with the popularity of Pokémon card pack openings that peaked in late 2020. Mizkif’s passion for the cards and streams opening rare sets that could cost hefty prices drew fans to his stream, helping him break many of his channel’s records. One of these records was broken on Dec. 14, 2020, when Mizkif recorded his most concurrent viewers record while opening a box of Neon Genesis Pokémon cards. Twitch stat tracking site SullyGnome recorded his viewership peak at over 110,000. Mizkif got his start on YouTube making videos inspired by other streamers. But with support from members of the streaming community, he made the seamless transition over to streaming in 2018.

Jadeyanh has reassured her Twitch fans she is “okay” and her father is “still alive” after a stalker called her, threatened her dad’s life, and demanded she expose herself live on-stream during the streamer’s Jan. 17 broadcast. The popular Just Chatting star, Jade-Anh ‘Jadeyanh’ Ngo, broke down in tears and ended her stream early after a shocking phone call from her stalker midway through the broadcast. One viewer, who confirmed they were watching the stream live when the incident occurred, reported that “a stalker called her” using her father’s phone number. Once on the phone, they demanded she “show her breasts on Twitch,” or they would hurt her dad. She then “realized her father was fine, and called the police.” Dexerto has sighted the now-deleted VOD to confirm details. “I’m okay and my dad is still alive,” she tweeted soon after ending her stream. Her father, Harvey Hung Ngo, also replied to the Twitter post. He confirmed he was still alive and “will be a long time.” Jadeynah’s dad also said “my daughter is strong, and no one can blackmail her, you asshole. We will get you!” Hell ya and I will be a long time. My daughter is strong…

Samsung, the multinational conglomerate from South Korea, has had a long history tied to the gaming industry. The tech company has even participated in specific marketing events for different popular video games, such as Fortnite when it released skins inspired from the Galaxy Note smartphone line.

When a few viewers tuned into Nick Kelly's first stream and began interacting with the streamer, he was overjoyed, creating a Twitch feel good story. Too often when it comes to Twitch, and streaming culture in general, there tends to be a focus on negative encounters or feuds between streamers. So when a few viewers stumbled on Nick Kelly's small Just Chatting stream and decided to share his stream with others, it snowballed into a Twitch feel good story. Twitch is a strange place for a number of reasons. The interaction between streamer and viewer is simultaneously intimate and distant, with streamers inviting the Internet into their world. It is also a place of gross toxicity, where tribalism leads to viewers of one streamer berating another that their chosen streamer calls out. A prime example of this being when xQc's fans lobbed death threats at Ash when the two streamers met in the Rust OfflineTV server. Despite the existence of negativity, good can happen on the platform, such is the case when a new streamer received an outpouring of support. Nick Kelly's stream was found by a group of friends who weren't sure if the streamer was for real. But after…

The platform also removed the popular PogChamp emote after the person depicted, Ryan Gutierrez, “encouraged further violence” online yesterday, the platform said in a tweet announcing its decision. We've made the decision to remove the PogChamp emote following statements from the face of the emote encouraging further violence after what took place in the Capitol today.— Twitch (@Twitch) January 7, 2021 Facebook banned President Donald Trump indefinitely from its Instagram and Facebook platforms earlier in the day.

Notoriously lawsuit-happy California man Erik Estavillo is back to sue again – and this time it’s Twitter for banning President Donald Trump and spreading “communist philosophies.” Estavillo – who sued video game streaming platform Twitch last year after he allegedly received injuries by masturbating too much to female gamers on the site – is now suing Twitter, as well as Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, claiming that Trump’s ban has caused him “overbearing pain and suffering.” Also on rt.com What a jerk! W**ker’s $25-million Twitch lawsuit is a stroke of madness, and shows the US legal system is broken According to the lawsuit, as well as seeking $88.7 million dollars in financial compensation, Estavillo is also “seeking justice” for the millions of Trump followers “who are now suffering adverse mental affects as they too were heavily invested in his account.” Claiming to have “no friends” and to rarely leave the house due to a “myriad of health issues,” Estavillo added that he relies on Twitter to engage in political discourse and “needs to hear voices from the full political spectrum.”Estavillo is also suing because he alleges that the social network “consistently promotes eastern communist philosophies” from Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and…
