“We believe there is value in hearing from Presidential nominees directly, when possible. Trump is now the official Republican nominee for US President.”

AKA: it's more profitable for us to let him stream his hatred on our platform again.

What happens when he starts saying insane and violent things again on stream?

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Probably not today but when he's back at the wheel. They want to be on his good side.

When has that ever worked out for anyone? Trump will fuck over anyone and everyone, he doesn't care about you unless you have something he needs from you.

Trump has worked out wonderfully for a lot of people from the 1%. Both as a result of tax cuts as well as regulatory favors for folks that pay up and / or make nice. Elon for example is in for plenty of return on investment.

Totally agree. He is only looking out for himself, and if you're someone like him, you might get some benefit as well. He's not going out of his way to help anyone who can't help him in someway. And even if you can help in some way, the nanosecond he doesn't need you anymore, he'll abandon you.

Twitch disabled the account following the Jan. 6 riot on the US Capitol in 2021 due to “the current extraordinary circumstances and the President’s incendiary rhetoric” before issuing an indefinite suspension two weeks later, according to a Twitch spokesperson.

Guess we'll all just collectively forget about this now that's he's the Republican nominee again ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Now that he's a position to do it again, lets all rush to restore his accounts! Brilliant!

Corps want a fascist leading the country.

It's all about the short-term gains.

JD Vance in a bathtub stream for the Gen Z vote?

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Knowing Gen Z it'd probably take about 2 seconds before someone tries to swat him lmao

President Convict has a Twitch account? TIL I guess...

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 21 points 2 years ago

Can't wait for his let's play prison simulator.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Does it have to be a simulator?

Anyone know how subs and bit donations work on the campaign finance side? This feels like some weird gray area where supporters can give money to a politician. I guess it’s not that different than selling assassination sneakers. But something smells weird to me
