#Alerts

[wolfasketch]

To start, this is not to call out or diminish or scold or make anyone feel bad, this is a warning! And not a bad one like you did something wrong, a warning tonot show this user any attention.

Thanks to @trollsgalore's most recent posts, I can warn most of those who liked or rebloged art that does not belong to this thief. Likes and reblogs give this pos the credit and attention they did not earn. I ask, not demand, it is still your choose, that you delete any reblogs and unlike any of the art they post, as well as report this user.

I would like to say again, this is not to make anyone on this list feel bad, it is to alert and warn you about @trollsgalore.

But I hope that Merchins like them and the new audio too!

There’s irony to be had about the fact that this happened because I was carrying a 20kg bag of salt. The thing that’s supposed to be my main medicine triggering episodes

Hey guys ICE is potentially in my area just letting you know in case y'all hear nothing from me again ever

Just saw some post (by nozomi-spam) try to claim to stop reblogging from "Palestinian GoFundMe scams" (from late 2024) and it's just terrible.

The reasons are... things that people, who also say they're vetted, put on their posts all the time?? And aren't 100% guaranteed to make it a scam??? Like go do some research on scams by actual scam busters oml

(More of me ranting below)

Basically it tries to say "this looks suspicious to me so it must be a scam!" and telling people to go donate to charities instead of individual GFMs

Like I've seen scam busters who know how actual scams are. For example:

Claiming to need insulin when specific details don't match, like claiming they are always "down to their last pen" and blood pressure being high, which is near-death. (insulin scammers like vero-og, IIRC, some also have pretended to be Palestinians as well.)

Stealing someone's story (e.g. furryreviewearthquake, who stole a GFM story from someone who doesn't even have an account here)

Even outright pretending to be someone (e.g. maximumtriumphmagazine, who imposed as artist Baraa Awoor and changed the name to "Baraa Alnajjar")

Just a really weird and gross thing to post. (Not gonna write an entire rebuttal because I'm not a scam buster, figured people did that better than me, but still.)

But people here are audacious when it comes to Palestine, so, what do I know? Just block and report.

ISRAEL REALTIME - Erev Shabbat Parshat Vayetze ✡️

SHABBAT ✡️ ALERT ✡️ INSTRUCTIONS for those in ISRAEL

Chief Rabbinute instructions with details and risk adjustment

Erev Shabbat Parshat Vayetze - Nov 24

Shabbat Times Israel

Jerusalem - 4:01 - 5:15

Tel Aviv - 4:15 - 5:17

Beit Shemesh - 4:19 - 5:18

Gaza City - 4:21 - 5:19

❗️REQUIRED!  You MUST due to Pikuach Nefesh have a way to hear or see alerts on Shabbat!  Here’s how…

SILENT CHANNELS - Radio & TV stations go “silent broadcast” for Shabbat, ONLY announcements of alerts.  No TV or Radio?  STREAM IT on phone or computer.

➡️ SILENT TV -  Channel 14 - stream https://www.now14.co.il/live/ (doesn’t work with adblocker)

➡️ SILENT RADIO - 

• Kol Chai radio - on radio 92.8, 93 and 102.5. - stream https://www.93fm.co.il/radio/players/%d7%a9%d7%99%d7%93%d7%95%d7%a8-%d7%97%d7%99/

• Kol Barama Radio - on radio 92.1, 104.3, 105.7 and 107.6. - stream https://kol-barama.co.il/live/

• Galei Israel - on radio 89.3, 94 and 106.5. - https://www.rlive.co.il/station/galey-israel

➡️ ON COMPUTER - leave a computer open to https://www.oref.org.il/en - alerts will display and sound on the screen. Turn OFF screen saver, sleep and hibernate so the computer doesn’t turn off.

➡️ VIA APP - leave on phone with red alert app.  Set app to YOUR area so it only alerts for your area.  We suggest Tzofar Red Alert or Homefront Command - available in Play Store and App Store.  IF an alert goes off for your area CLICK THE PHONE TO VERIFY ALERT TYPE - to see if infiltration!   Yes, on Shabbat - this is Pikuach Nefesh!

⁉️ ENGLISH SILENT CHANNEL - is there a silent channel in English?  NO.  But you can use Pikud HaOref ON SCREEN in English, see “ON COMPUTER” option above.

⚠️MAMAD LIGHTS ON… it is a good idea to leave the lights on, so if there is an alert you don’t have to turn them on, on Shabbat.

⚠️TAKE A PHONE WITH YOU when sheltering.  If you must call for help, you must have a way to do so quickly.

It is a mitzvah to take actions to protect and save and preserve life on Shabbat, not a violation.  But ONLY actions which do so.

My take on the Twitch "brand guidelines" situation, which I've been believing more and more over the last 24 hours:

StreamElements is a popular site that hooks in to the Twitch API and lets you create custom alerts (those fancy animated graphics that pop up on stream) for when people subscribe/cheer/follow/donate. Tons of streamers use them! I use them!

Very recently, like within the last three months, StreamElements has launched a new Sponsorship tab. If you use StreamElements, it's impossible to miss, because they've been sending me 7-10 emails a week about each new sponsor offer I have.

Generally they'll tell me how I could make "up to $900" by doing a sponsored stream with a list of requirements and goals I'd have to meet in order to earn my payout. There's a lot more to it than that, but we'll get to it.

The thing is, this StreamElements Sponsor system is an almost direct clone of a system Twitch already has: the Twitch Bounty Board. But there's a twist: The Twitch Bounty Board is only available to the upper-crust of streamers who hit consistent and moderately good viewership numbers. And the higher numbers you pull in, the bigger bounties you get with bigger payouts.

StreamElements Sponsorships aren't anywhere near as high profile. A Bounty might have a streamer order food from Dominos, comp them the price of the meal, and have them eat and talk about it on camera. A typical StreamElements Sponsor is a gacha mobile game you probably haven't even heard of.

And that "up to $900" claim on StreamElements is just the hook. Once you actually read the terms, you'll learn that the minimum payout is $15, with $900 being the maximum possible earnings. And usually, just to earn that measly $15 minimum, you have to stream for multiple hours, across multiple days, with special overlays, a special chat bot, while also requiring several viewers to use your offer code and also play for multiple hours.

It creates a discrepancy where Twitch Bounties have a higher barrier of entry but a much higher success rate, and the StreamElements sponsors have a much lower barrier of entry and probably a much smaller trickle of money.

The thing is? Twitch likely gets a cut of the bounty payout, but StreamElements doesn't have to pay Twitch anything for a sponsor. And even if the StreamElements sponsor program has lower payouts and more difficult/nebulous requirements, slots still fill up quickly. That's a lot of money changing hands on Twitch that is not necessarily feeding back in to Twitch itself. And it is through a system seemingly designed to devalue something Twitch is already doing.

Twitch slapping down all these rules about "burned-in advertising" were undoubtedly about pulling people out of StreamElements. After all, the new guidelines said it was fine to link things around the video, like in the description/bio below the stream. Since Twitch literally owns the website, in theory it probably wouldn't have been too hard for them to reskin a streamer's entire page for a bounty integration. There are already plugins and things to generate widgets that aren't burned in to the video and hover over the player's HTML.

It's not hard to imagine a scenario where you accept a Twitch bounty for Mountain Dew and it adds a special Mountain Dew Widget over your stream that's part of the video player code itself, something StreamElements would probably never be allowed to do.

Further evidence for this comes from the fact that, just a few weeks ago, Twitch added a feature to let you generate stream alerts from the Twitch dashboard itself. StreamElements literally started their entire business on robust and highly customizable stream alerts, and once StreamElements started pushing their own bounty board clone with Sponsorships, suddenly Twitch starts testing its own in-house alerts generator.

Twitch was obviously trying to head this off at the pass and provide users as little reason to use StreamElements as humanly possible, but they obviously didn't get there fast enough and were more than a little overzealous.
