Every content platform has a slew of top earners who are effectively bad actors. But they're profitable so they get to stay.
Diet supplements, vitamins, and other garbage on Youtube.
xQc on Twitch.
Every. Single. One.
- ZephyrBlu 6y agoHow is xQc a bad actor? He just memes with his chat.
- tmpz22 6y agoAre you trolling? He's been banned over a dozen times from twitch, OWL, GTA5 RP, for a reason. His chat spills over to other streamers, harasses them on Twitter and Instagram, and spreads misogynistic (whore, slut, etc.), and homophobic, filth. The last incident? Yesterday [1].

- ZephyrBlu 6y agoxQc is just an edgy entertainer with a short fuse. I wouldn't class him as a bad actor because I don't think he intentionally tries to ruin things. Twitch chat is also a completely different beast that no one controls.
- iaml 6y agoNot only is he not managing his fanbase, he is actively encouraging stream hopping. Moreover when he was banned from nopixel yesterday, server got ddosed into the ground afterwards ruining other people's streams.
- PeterisP 6y agoWell that's kind of the big difference - such a bad actor is profitable for Youtube or Twitch (since they earn from the "safe" money stream of ads and engagement and are not in the risky money stream of payments for the shady goods/services), but loss-making if you're a payment intermediary without any direct revenue from their fraudulent schemes like Clubhouse intends to be.
