The entirety of Twitch has reportedly been leaked | VGC

Source codes and user payouts among the data released in a 128GB torrent…

Including its source code. Change your passwords and add two factor authentication if you haven't.

Then take a look at what everybody earned from Twitch since October 2019.

It also references a potential Amazon competitor to Steam apparently.

    The user posted a 125GB torrent link to 4chan on Wednesday, stating that the leak was intended to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”.

    I got banned by a moderator for yelling the n-word so I've obtained a company's entire source code as revenge.

    Between this and facebook being wrecked, I wonder if it's a coincidence.

        syniverse just disclosed a big hack too, but theirs has been ongoing for 5 years, apparently.

    man If the big accounts are actually pulling down that much, imagine how much they could be making with bezos and the board out of the picture, they could actually pay their interns and simps with all that cash

      I don't get why we still use passwords in the first place.

    This is fucking with me for slightly different reasons than is probably intended. Due to some of my friends having awful taste i know a little bit about some of these streamers, and some of them are fucking children.

    RanbooLive 2401021.84

    tommyinnit 1513217.7

    Tubbo 1000504.31

    All of these people are under 18 (or at least they certainly were for the majority of this time period). What the fuck. How is this legal? Where does the money go? Do they have any kind of protections or labour laws applied to them? Theres no way this doesn't fuck them up, that is MILLIONS OF FUCKING DOLLARS being earned by literal kids :stress:

      wait until you hear about Ryan or whatever the fuck his name is. some 6 year old YouTuber who makes like $20 million a year or some shit.

      capitalism is beyond stupid and money is fake and dumb.

        Ryan? The kid who made millions reviewing toys, and has his own toy line? The one who supposedly got his own YouTube show because he asked his parents for one? That Ryan?

      Streamings the side hustle too. I know the tommy kid has 3+ YouTube channels each with millions of subs. I remember years ago when he started out making hypixel skyblock skits.

      I don't know 10 million USD a year for the top twitch steamer is much higher than I expected. Remember that's just their twitch contract, without sponsorships and all

      (CriticalRole btw)

          Yeah but even if that's true (no one knows because 4chan is a terrible source of information), it's still just twitch. You know these people have those gfuel, VPN and Raid Shadow Legends sponsorships lmao

          And do top streamers pay mods? Scenes if they don't and there are people out there working for the top 0.1% earning zilch

            ye, just clarifying that it isn't a straight contract amount
            for all we know, it could be literally ONLY their sub/bit payouts excluding any deal they have with twitch itself
            and of course the sponsorships as you said

            for the paid mods thing, i know that one of the top 30 streamers (cohhcarnage) pays his mods, no idea about the rest

        they're total numbers, has CriticalRole only been streaming for one year?

        Blizzard and Valve are the only companies that have figured out that you can have multiple people with the same name on a server and it doesn't result in the collapse of society.

        edit: oh Discord too.

      the best usernames are stuff like "fart" or "asdfg" and they're all taken

    Huh, so that's two years of revenue? Except for the top earners, It's really not that crazy lol.

    Something like 100-200k over two years for having a consistent audience of a thousand people is really fucking low for the amount of effort and luck it requires to get there.

    Hasan makes a good 3 million. He's the 13th best paid streamer.
