🟣 MAJOR PLATFORM NEWS

🔞 Twitch joins Australia’s under-16 social-media ban

Australia’s eSafety Commissioner officially added Twitch to its restricted list for minors, citing its interactive chat and monetization systems.➡ Impact: Streamers with younger Australian viewers may lose reach — part of a worldwide move toward tighter live-streaming oversight.

💰 Twitch monetization expands — but income dips

Twitch now allows smaller creators to access Subs & Bits, yet mid-tier streamers (200–300 avg viewers) report shrinking revenue.➡ Takeaway: Access ≠ sustainability. Build loyalty, engagement, and alternate revenue streams (donations, merch, Patreon, or workshops).

🔄 Multistreaming goes mainstream

Big names like Asmongold are now streaming on Kick, Twitch, and X simultaneously.➡ Trend: 2025 = Platform Freedom. Reach more people — never depend on one algorithm.

⏪ Twitch adds “Rewind” feature

Viewers can now replay live moments instantly.➡ Tip: Perfect for music sets, ASMR, and highlight reels — let fans clip and relive the chaos.

Canadian creators must complete the CRA Tax Interview by Dec 31 2025 or risk payout holds.➡ Check Dashboard → Settings → Tax Information. Under-18 streamers may need guardian approval. If you have received an email threatening monetary discipline for non compliance you may want to rethink what you been supporting.

💳 Kick strengthens payout verification

Kick rolled out enhanced KYC (Know Your Customer) identity checks.➡ Action: Confirm your name, ID, and bank info match.➡ For nonprofits (like BigJohnsGUITARMission): keep personal and organizational payouts separate for audit clarity.

2️⃣ Old Flame, New Blend 🔥💕Pulling a vintage romance off the back shelf — slow-pour intimacy, steamy undertones, and maybe a bit of “don’t burn my tongue.” Rooting for this one so hard my apron’s vibrating.

3️⃣ DAVE THE DIVER Deep Dive ☕🎮I went so deep into Dave the Diver I almost surfaced with pearls—of indie-game appreciation, obviously. A perfectly torched crème brûlée of a game. Delicious. 🔥✨

 Play with Prey — When Good Intent Meets Bad Behavior

Oh, what a lovely turn of events last week.“Play with Prey” — meant to be a wholesome, community-driven good time — got absolutely derailed.Apparently, supporting your friends for a good cause now translates to kicking off some drama. Bravo, truly inspiring.

Poor Aydan’s round got ambushed by hate bots, because nothing screams “I support my platform” quite like sabotaging someone else’s stream.Real shining example of streamer behavior right there.

The pack stands firm — we uplift, we don’t tear down. Community will always matter more than clout.

✍️ WRITER’S CORNER — “THE CREATOR’S TRUTH”

Every creator — Affiliate, Partner, or just starting — hits that Go Live button with zero viewers and a dream.Your rank doesn’t define you. Your authenticity, energy, and how you treat others does.

On Kick, Twitch, and YouTube, numbers can lie.Botting doesn’t build community — it buries it.You can’t fake connection, passion, or heart.

👉 Remember: On Kick, you can use the Help button to request a bot check on your own channel or report suspicious activity on another.Anyone can take a stand — but real integrity means leading by example, not following the wrong crowd.

Use your platform to lift others, not just yourself.Be part of the change, not the problem.Help someone. Reach out to the ones falling silent.

When we work together, we grow. When we tear others down or chase fake numbers, we poison our home.

This isn’t competition — it’s collaboration.Real creators build bridges, not thrones.Support the small ones. Celebrate the big ones.Because in the end — we all shine brighter together.

💜 PACK MESSAGE — YOU ARE NOT ALONE

If you are not safe, if you are struggling, please reach out to one of the wolves 🤝💜You are never a burden, and you are never alone 🌙🐺
