A 35 year old in your kid's DMs. Having inappropriate conversations and trying to make plans. While he's got a wife and kids at home. And all ya'll care about is that it wasn't illegal?? This is grooming.
If this type of behavior is acceptable to you, you and I DO NOT ALIGN.
THE TWITCH BAN
Hello, I'd like to make a quick statement..
Lets cut the fucking bullshit, as you know there's no filter with me. I've always been up front and real with you guys on anything that I can be up front about, and I'm always willing to accept responsibility... which

I just tried to buy MTG cards for the first time and the experience was awful... It's pretty scary going into a card shop and not knowing what you need for draft and I had such an unhelpful, rude cashier. I got what I needed (I think) but left the shop in tears.

Are you ever friends w a streamer on Twitter, maybe even met them in real life and you want to watch their stream but then you realize you weren't following them on twitch so have to figure out when they're not streaming so you can stealth follow & hopefully they won't notice

I'm always shocked at how many people hate on Taylor Swift for no reason. All she wants to do is stay at home with her cats and bake cookies. She sends gifts to her fans and writes her own songs. She has many different genres of music, her latest album being indie folk???

Starting one company wasn't enough, so now there's two. Introducing Fenix Down Agency.
- Fully licensed as a talent agency like CAA, UTA, and EvolvedGG
- Non-exclusive contracts

-We rep talent not brands
Today, Fenix Down is officially 1 year old!
Thank you to everyone that's supported us along the way and to celebrate, we've got some big news for you:

Nah, I'm so tired of privileged creators trying to school their viewers over some fake etiquette / social norms that streamer twitter made up. A lot of creators have lost their humanity and treat their viewers like they are just a number instead of person.

started his stream at 5:30am, he entered the game category at 11:35am, he launched the game menu at 11:45am, but didn't start playing until 12:09am. Embargo was at noon, but terminals (game key distributer) said 6pm UTC on one screen and 7pm UTC on another.

Me: Creator is interested, rate is $1,500!

Them: Wait! What rate works for them?

Them: OK!

It's a sensitive subject, but this all looks like a big misunderstanding and a bit of jumping the gun on all sides. Embargos are important, but so is understanding and grace. My heart has been racing for the past two hours so I'm going to get back to work, have a great weekend!

Another day of me answering emails from agencies offering $0.60 x CCV rates. I wish I could say this doesn't affect me but it does. When I tell them their rates are insulting to the creators I represent, they really just think I'm being mean.

Advice for affiliates/micro influencers like me:
- It's okay to be selective w what brands you rep
- It's okay to ask for a contract and request edits
- It's okay to ask for payment (not just in-kind or affiliate)
- Don't sell yourself short just because you're "small"

Poolshark, Erik, is one of the nicest creators I've ever worked with. He's a standup guy. Sure, the game title was meme-y and can totally understand how this all looks at face value. But Poolshark + friends would never purposely break embargo.

My life has been so blessed lately. Charmed, really. I know I work hard & put my heart into everything I do, but I can't help but feel so grateful and undeserving. A year ago I was so lost, this year I've found Janessa again. And tonight I treat myself for how far I've come. ♥️

We connected with a company who said that our creators' rates are too high because people with ~100 CCV are doing work for free. After replying that we're open to hearing counter offers, they offered to pay Fenix Down a fee to find creators to stream the game for free...

Finally got an answer to why I had a blood clot in my brain in 2019. I'll probably update you guys eventually but need some time to adjust to new medicine / talk to family before I make it known. I'm not going anywhere so don't worry about me 💕

Twitter has been a burden on me lately. So much drama and negativity has me feeling worn down. You guys told me this was the best "community". I need to reevaluate the people I follow and let speak into my life. I'll feel better by stream tonight I promise. Chin up. 🌟

The divide between partners & affiliates is real. I try my best not to be ashamed that I'm an affiliate. I've streamed for the past 3 years, work for one of the most premiere companies in our industry and am a professional on-camera host. Heck, half of you think I'm partnered.
