  • While I’m generally against in-app ads, I think it’s interesting to note how many people in the comments likely did not read the actual article linked. It seems that every user can entirely opt-out of seeing the ads. While they are ads, they aren’t really so in the traditional sense: you stream a developer’s game to other users on Discord and you can get gifts in Discord. Not so bad I don’t think, though I don’t use the gifts much at all, and it’ll probably be for the types of games I don’t play.












  • Just watched a video about FaZe Clan. Used to be a relatable gaming group mostly on Call of Duty during the early rise of online gaming content— some of the first to use capture cards to record gameplay and upload raw footage or cut compilations on YouTube. Far as I understand people liked them because they were relatable but as the money started flowing they became highly corporate and influencer-like, getting streamer houses and stuff like that, and so people started noting a disconnect and stopped caring. FaZe has been clawing to stay relevant for a years now so it’s kind of interesting to see where they’ll go from here.
