The charity industry is so sickening some days.
"We don't take processing fees, we are funded by tips*"
* We also take 4% processing fees for a third party + a 50% commission.

If you are a content creator considering fundraising for a charity, use any platform other than SoftGiving... This is the contract they make charities sign.

There is nothing left to ask in this thread that you have not already avoided answering in others. What you are doing is wildly exploitative of charities and the Twitch community's desire to be philanthropic.

The money "donated" via paypal goes to their for-profit company, they take 50% + a "tip" off, then hand it to a DAF (donor advised fund) that takes 4% of the total & maybe gets the funds to the charity a month later.

If you are charity, please be sure you are reading your contracts.
Creators, please make sure you know who you are working with.

4 years ago I worked at a game studio. My boss there repeatedly told me I was worthless and the tech I was building had no use outside of their company. They still use some of my work today.
I work on similar software now that helps raise millions for charity annually.
I became Executive Chef...twice.
Not tech related but still. Fuck you Dean.

I've said this a handful of times, but Twitch is the single worst company I have had to interface with as a third party developer in the last four years.
A few years back I was asked not to speak to Twitch devs directly and to filter everything through my account manager.
Thread: Let's talk about
@Twitch
being hostile to third-party developers. Because they are. I should clarify before I get started: I don't blame Twitch employees as a whole. Something this stupid can only be the work of management. And I definitely blame management.

Friendly reminder that Stream Gifts takes 60+% markups for features Amazon offers natively on wishlists.
Love to see a company acting like the good guy while threatening users with an NDA over information that is publicly accessible.
I will absolutely NOT be using
@teamstreamgifts
anymore because they are using super shady business practices.
When I called them out on it, they had the audacity to say "Don't forget you signed an NDA." L O L BYEEEE 🖕

Since December 1st I have worked on just over $10,000,000 in fundraising across ~20 different charities. The month is not even half way over. I am in awe thinking about the gravity of that number & the impact it is going to have on so many people this coming year.

affirming the Texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat. As an entertainer I don’t get political often. Yet with so many vocal peers on the other side of this issue, I felt it was important to go on the record as a pro-life game developer.

My near deaf grandmother: "Does anyone go kayaking with you when you go out?"
Me: "It is a pandemic and I have no friends here"
Her: "WHAT?"
My mother: "HE HAS NO FRIENDS."

You are referencing an article from APRIL discussing things that were hypothesized as potential concerns. This was before animal or human testing had begun. mRNA isn't referenced in this entire article, not once.
Quit fear mongering and learn to read more than just a headline.

Omeed, 3 people in this thread have expressed similar and you are down playing it like you did no wrong. Gaslighting people is not the move. You are regarded as a leader in the space and are proving you do not deserve the position. Lead by example and own your actions.

Went out to pick up dinner and I'm pretty baffled to see the volume of people out, not distancing themselves, and not wearing masks.
Holiday weekends mean you don't have to work, not that you don't have to continue respecting the fact that there's a damn pandemic.
