Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Bandwidth, which you need for streaming is not cheap
They thought the party was going to last forever, so they ordered a bunch of jumbo pizzas and kegs
I mean it's more like they paid themselves a bunch of bonuses and hired super duper growth hacking experts or whatever, and now they can't pay for them, so god forbid they cut from the top
