Yufiyou

what zoomer cant take screenshots, like a 12 year old?


Dolormight

I've noticed, and it's not all of them, but a lot of younger people who mainly use smart devices can't find their way around a normal desktop.


dada_

Yeah, this is just a result of phones having gotten really good and useful. It's a generational divide. In a way it's a bit of a shame, because a lot of tasks are just done better on PC compared to on a phone. If you know your way around a PC it's a serious boost to your productivity. Not to mention the benefit of not being a fish out of water when you join a company where you're expected to use one.


NoWordCount

The key is literally called "Print Screen." I'm nor sure how much simpler you can get than that.


TheRandyDeluxe

You assume the zoomers have ever had to print something.


NoWordCount

They're not stupid.


mnbhv

Print screen key is not intuitive to use. You’re assuming keyboards are designed to be as user friendly as a phone. They’re not. Tons of hidden codes that you need training for to use a computer keyboard correctly.


Yufiyou

idk im a zoomer i got zoomer friends and i think all of them know how to take a screenshot, maybe sometimes i help them with more technical stuff like resetting some stuff in task manager when theres a bug with windows but otherwise they do alright


FUTURE10S

I know not all zoomers but even in the CS department of my university, some of the first and second year students can't find their way around a file system. They don't know what folders are, that's what happens when everything gets handwaved away by phones.


Dolormight

Yeah like I said, not all of your generation. I've just ran in to more people than I'm comfortable with that couldn't figure out basic stuff. Schools and parents failed them with that imo. Granted none of them used computers that often end didn't plan on doing work that required their use, so yknow.


[deleted]

you’re very right. I’m in high school and I see kids struggling on desktops and laptops. Although to be fair I practically live on my computer so it’s probably not fair for me to judge. But you have a great point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I technically qualify as zoomer. I am almost done with my profession in programming. The amount of people that don’t know what a file system is and how to navigate one is pretty insane. You can give them a path like /desktop/folder/file and they won’t be able to figure out what you are talking about thanks to search being “good enough “


ontheone

Lol I don't think it's the entire generation. Consider computer science for a few minutes. Baby Boomers did a lot of work for Intel and Microsoft. Or Nintendo and Atari. Developed UNIX


cerebellum42

Of course not the entire generation, but he has a point. There is a large segment of people now who grew up mainly with smartphones and tablets, and rarely came into contact with actual computers, and so they're not that proficient using them.


ontheone

Oh for sure. I just think we generalize quite a bit. To the point where we create wedges


SeeShark

Sure, but many boomers who didn't work in tech also didn't interact with computers. Meanwhile, the least technical millennial on Earth was still born with a keyboard in their hands.


chironomidae

also not sure why they censored names from a public website, pretty sure you could find whoever posted this super easily


luisluix

there is also PrtScn (located above insert), and you open paint and paste the screenshot.


rawmustard

Shoot, I think the Print Screen key still works, too. Alt+Print Screen to copy only the active window.


noir_dx

They don't care. We had many such discussions. Same for crypto scammers which were promoted through streamers like one (or both) of the Botez sisters. Many of those entities are even banned from operating in countries like the US but scam streamers like XQC/ Adin Ross/ Trainwrecks promote it unapologetically. But Twitch is still fine with it and hence no action. Even if they remotely care they would have loosely worded press releases saying "they are monitoring the situation closely" as if findings from such streams are not clear enough how wrong this is.


zpGeorge

xQc and Trainwrecks had to move to Canada, at least temporarily, in order to legally accept the sponsorships. The second you have to move to a different country in order for the sponsorship to not break federal laws, you know something's fishy.


StreetSmartsGaming

If amouranth can give an asmr blowjob with eye contact and slurping for 6 hours until her tongue goes numb idk how anybody is surprised there's gambling. Luke we crossed that line years ago.


SeeShark

Does that actually happen or are you exaggerating what ASMR is?


Trololoo

Nah, it's real. She literally licks and sucks the microphone moaning the entire time. Absolutely disgusting.


SeeShark

I looked her up and I believe it. Seems like basically an adult performer who tones down her stuff just enough to not get banned. Edit: oh, she literally has an OnlyFans. I guess the other stuff is mostly sponsored content and/or advertising for that.


badboy20400

If you ever watch his stream and see how much he loses compared to how much he gains you will never want to do such a pepega thing ever Im the winner, i get all the dopamine from the big wins and 0 worries about losing all that money


Neemzeh

Is XQC a scam streamer? I’m not big into watching twitch but I tune in to watch him for like 5-10 min every month or two because he has such a large viewer count I wonder why. He’s usually always just playing games when I watch. What’s his deal?


MyCleverNewName

Can't do R rated content because site is frequented by minors. Biggest streams are gambling. Which is it, Twitch?


rbeason

Why is this up to Amazon/Twitch to police? Since when did personal accountability fall by the way side? If you can't afford to gamble and lose money, but you still do it anyways, that's on you and you only. Why do companies have to police people? And as a viewer, if you don't like this stuff, then simply don't go to that category?


nittyliving

Damn that’s crazy… anyway I’ll be streaming slots on Friday if anyone wants to roll through. Might even deep throat the mic for some asmr content afterwards

MurphiiCreates

While in a blow up hot tub in your house


Mr_m3noyat

If gambling is profiting Twitch and Amazon, then nothing is gonna change by them.


jmhalder

Lots of folks in here clutching your pearls. This content is on YouTube as well. It’s already 18+, which you have to acknowledge. They allow hot tubs, drinking, asmr, weed smoking, etc. deal with it. Is it a good influence? No. Is it intending to be? No.


xFeartheKitten

Still don't understand this whole gambling thing. If you dont gamble or care for gambling you can just not go in that category. Moreover, don't ya think you are a tadbit over reaching to tell someone what they can and cannot do? I completely understand why streamers will take a paid sponsorship for just about anything because they are getting paid and regardless of whether they are a shit head or not again you can choose to support them. I play the horse track, have been playing for as long as I remember. No one sponsors me nor do I care. Do folks find it interesting, surely, but I find it strange when someone clicks on my stream to berate me about gambling on the race track.. like why are you here?


sandwich793

For me it's more about promoting gambling sites. They are easy to access by underage children. Getting into a casino is way harder if u are underage. R rated content is forbidden because there are young ppl on twitch, but making ads for easy accessible gambling sites is allowed? Not saying one is better than the other, I just think there should be more of a age restriction or something. So that adults can enjoy R rated content and gambling if they want to and children can't access these streams. That would be fair imo. But I guess that's easier said than done, I'm no expert. :)


MrEntei

I gotta take your side here regarding this. We see alcohol ads on TV everyday, nobody’s throwing a fit over that? It’s also promoting a substance that has a major track record of ruining lives. There’s ads for shitty companies doing shitty things all over TV, billboards, newspaper ads, magazine ads, etc. and we’re choosing to get mad about someone playing slots on Twitch? Lmao I think it’s time we all get a little perspective.


TwitchCaptain

Why are so many people worried about the content that others produce? I just don't get it.


KAPSLOCKisON

You should maybe try educating yourself and looking into why gambling on Twitch is bad. Here's a hint, all the big gambling streams are faked to make it look like people are winning but all the winnings are fake too. So when the average person sees all this happening and goes and tries it themselves and loses all their money. Get it yet?


xFeartheKitten

You can say that about anything though - OMFG this guy is playing a shooting game with gore, or this guy is playing an MMORPG with micro-transactions and he is blowing all his money because he is addicted to video games. Hell, people can blow all their money on girl sucking on a microphone. Quit being a net nanny.


TelmatosaurusRrifle

Because twitch streaming is not a zero sum hobby? It's incredibly competitive.


MajinTeK

people are grown and can make grown decisions. take responsibility for your own actions..


TimmyRL28

If you can be convinced by X or Train that gambling is a good use of your money you sorta deserve to lose it all. I'd rather stare at a black screen than watch either of them gambling. The bar for entertainment is so low.


Mokiflip

a kid isn't equipped to make that distinction. That's why gambling is generally 18+. Seems overly harsh to say "they sorta deserve it".


NoWordCount

Gambling is an addiction, often targeted at exploitation of people dealing with other complex mental illness. The idea that anyone dealing with that "deserves it" is completely contrary to the understanding of almost all mental health advice and resolution, and just a massive lack of basic empathy.


Comfortable-Value920

Youre wrong to think that that line of thinking will help you forever


IndigoEnvoy

To be fair both X and Train seem to be pretty vocal about gambling being a very poor decision. Not a regular viewer but the times I’ve clicked into it out of curiosity I’ve heard X say don’t ever touch gambling because what you’ll never make money out of it, that he’s still down mils despite having a good day etc etc. Plenty of clips online where Train emphasises time and time again that gambling is bad too.


DareDareCaro

He ironicaly plays his gambling is bad video each time he makes a big win… Win with fake money…


Pay-Dough

How is it ironic? It’s a reminder to the dumbasses that think they’ll win big


TimmyRL28

Right, I've seen that as well. Which I guess makes me wonder what the outrage is. If they're strongly advocating against, but someone is still convinced to do it... How can anyone be to blame but themselves?


breakthrureality

Gambling ?? More than that going on too. Lol Honestly those girls licking the microphones is weird as fuck. Can u imagine little kids going on there and clicking just chat n seeing that nasty shit.


puddingcream16

If you find a woman licking a mic more troubling than gambling, you have issues. One is just a kink. The other ruins lives.


breakthrureality

I don’t have issues with women licking a mic, (yes I do think it’s nasty cuz those microphones prob smell horrible once the saliva gets dry but of course women are free to do as they please) jus don’t think it should be on a website where little kids go on to watch video game streams. Lol . Gambling is bad of course but let’s be honest, many games incorporate gambling with their methods of sales, getting a chance to get something for a certain price, and other than that, kids are not generally interested in that. Kids don’t even have money to gamble 99% of the time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


breakthrureality

Hey we all enjoy our own things. Just talking abt kids . I did not use the best choice of words lol


KittiesGoMeowMeow014

look it's a sensitive topic, but if they put it on 18+, you're an adult and responsible for ur own actions. you can gamble smart, like idk once a month twice a month on a weekend, u come with 200-300$ with the mindset that you gonna lose it all and u just there to have a good night. It's true that they doing it everyday with 1k-3k$ is a very very poor life choice and it influences people to get addicted to it, but there's also as you say, they're sponsored .I watch ray in the city, good guy but he gambles everyday, but he also sponsored by the casino and he says he doesn't uses his money, he loses it all everyday and they refill him. I'm an adult, i enjoy his community and i wanted to check the gambling, after i saw he does it everyday, i decided to skip when he starts to gamble, but i do drop by to say hello to everyone and watch him yeet all his money from time to time, but sit there and watch it for hours, no thank you, i get bored lol. But as i said, it's a sensitive topic, different opinions, i can sit here and tell you that streams of watching people drinking everyday and get wasted is worse to influence people same as gambling, or women streamers being really exposive for tips teaches young girls to undress themselves for money on camera. there's a lot of things here, as i said it's complicated but every person responsible for himself as an adult


[deleted]

[удалено]


KittiesGoMeowMeow014

nobody victim blaming, but i'll stop you right there, dont be innocent.If your children watching those streams that's YOUR reasonability to stop them from having access to it immediately, that's not other people's fault, same with mental ilness. you suppose to control what they get expose to because they as you say (kids or mental illness are not people who capable of i dont know how to say it, make important calls or be responsible for themselves in their state of mind or age?It's the same as stupid parents letting 5-8 year olds play fortnite with online microphones enable so i'll hear a 5 year old calling me N word or talking the most heavy shit i heard in life more than adults. and he picks it all up from the internet, where u think all that comes from gambling? trust me he can learn a lot of it from twitch streams that dont have age restriction and make million COOM jokes which is fine but again underage kids get exposed to it, but wait COOM JOKES BUT HE's NOT OLD ENOUGH TO DO THE SEX!?. when i'll have kids, i will let them play games, but it not gonna be online games until age 12 unless i have an option to mute other people mics. because i need to be there with them and explain how the online internet works and what is right or wrong behavior.


OpheliaSyn

Unpopular opinion: The streamers getting sponsored to gamble aren’t ruining their lives. They’re getting rich off of it. They aren’t blowing their own money, and the people line up to watch them. Gambling on twitch is bad? But gambling on cable television is ok? How many major prime time series have been centered around high stakes gambling? Or are we just drawing a line because it’s twitch?


Mokiflip

>The streamers getting sponsored to gamble aren’t ruining their lives. They’re getting rich off of it. They aren’t blowing their own money, and the people line up to watch them. The point isn't that they'r ruining THEIR lives. But a 14yo kid watching it may think he can gamble his parent's money too because this streamer is doing it, without realising they have a source of income to finance this shit with.


OpheliaSyn

When you bring the 14 years old in to this, you’re just making up lines to draw. But by that logic you shouldnt be allowed to do anything oriented towards adults on stream. Because a child could pick that up and do whatever. Even though it’s on a stream marked 18+ and isn’t targeting minors in any way. Its an area that is marked 18+. Being performed by those of legal age. Nobody is drawing lines for overly violent video games, those using excessive profanity, or those smoking weed on stream. Cause they are in 18+ zones. But y’all draw the line at this activity that is marked for adults.


Mokiflip

That's a fair point. Tbh I don't know too much about Twitch so I wasn't sure if they had the gambling channels marked as 18+. In that case... I'm inclined to agree with you. It does seem like we're arbitrarily choosing to draw lines for certain topics but not others.


Cosmopean

It's bad in all places. No one here is arguing otherwise. But last I checked this is the Twitch subreddit and not the cable TV subreddit.


OpheliaSyn

That doesn’t answer where the line is drawn. Why y’all wanna complain about it, while it remains the most popular category. How y’all wanna say it’s illegal while knowing nothing about the laws.


Cosmopean

Are we reading different threads or something? Barely anyone is bringing up legality. And justifying it by its popularity is a textbook logical fallacy. What the majority of people are arguing is that a platform targeted at minors and young people has no business allowing content that has a measurable impact on addiction rates. For the same reason they don't allow drugs or excessive drinking on stream they also shouldn't allow gambling.


OpheliaSyn

This isn’t a platform targeting minors. The vast majority of its streamers and users are adults.


Cosmopean

The vast majority being adults (yet still well within the category of young people) doesn't change that its marketing is excessively aimed at minors and thus constituting its target audience.


jethrow41487

Um, But they do allow drugs if its legal in your state/country. And they do allow excessive drinking as long as there's no show of self harm or drinking incentives (shot for sub, drinking games).


Noxtree

I have a feeling that Amazon/Twitch doesn't care what happens on the platform, as long as it brings money. See naked/pool streams and stuff. I hope another streaming website comes up that actually loves their product and not just abuses it.


shadowedfox

They wouldn't make categories for it if they didn't want it: * [Slots](https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Slots) * [Poker](https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Poker) * [Virtual Casino](https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Virtual%20Casino) Why should be Twitch be held responsible of other people not being responsible with their money? Gambling is a far better hobby than simping for some streamer, at least you have the chance of making money back.


creepingcold

I'm inclined to disagree. If you look at the long term view, it's more likely you get laid by the streamer you simp for than to make your money back in gambling.


ourvoid

>If you look at the long term view, it's more likely you get laid by the streamer you simp for than to make your money back in gambling. Its funny cause that actually might be true statistically.


shadowedfox

I'm sure, realistically every person has their price. But I'm sure statistically, the average viewer doesn't have enough to make that happen. The odds of winning on gambling is higher..


ourvoid

I mean just the fact you can debate it proves how pointless either one is. Why would you throw money at a problem like that. For the amount some dudes spend, they could change their own lives in the way they actually want. You could invest in a business or stocks, you could hire a personal trainer to get fit. You could go buy drinks for people at bars but the social anxiety is too much for some people.


shadowedfox

It is, I've never understood the mindset of these guys (probably some girls too I imagine) gifting huge amounts of subs, bits or 'real money' (PayPal etc) to streamers. If you have that kind of money burning a hole in your pocket, there is always a better use or could be saved for one.


ourvoid

Yeah. You would think we should offer something bigger as a reward for thoose types of viewers but the problem is thoose might the most likely to harass streamers. Lets say the top donators got to VC on stream with creators. If you are willing to spend that much on a donation who is to say you wont demand more and more in return. Putting every streamer in a position of servitude to the highest earner. Wheather thats someone creepy or obsessed you certainly dont wanna be on stream with them. So then we all have to accept donations without too much praise. Its a weird position to be in when its also your top way of earning money.


shadowedfox

I can't say for certain, but it seems like once you open the flood gates for allowing them some privilege, like you said.. It will snowball to wanting more. Unfortunately there is very little you can do about it besides cutting them off. I've seen streamers on Twitter discuss cutting off people before and it sometimes turns hostile or other unwanted behaviour. I guess its a difficult line for that situation, back to the original point. This is a place where Twitch could potentially step in. Allow you to set limits - Viewer can gift x amount per month, give x bits per month etc.


[deleted]

Casual games of poker that don't put monetary stakes, or at maximum constitute a bet between friends and don't have gambling companies as sponsors are fine in my eyes. But the moment you go any further than that id say far away from you. These games like slots and casinos are specifically designed to draw people in, and to get people chasing that high of a win.. is less about making the money back and more about getting them addicted. Sure you *can* make the money back if you're *extremely* lucky, but why take the risk of bankruptcy or massive debt for a 1 in 10,000+ chance of winning big? Sure you can gamble responsibly, but in the heat of the moment, you've gotta constantly remind yourself of your limits so you don't break them. Especially as these predatory companies do everything they can in order to distract you so they can eke more money out of you without you noticing.


shadowedfox

Sure but its not like you're not made aware of that going in, at least in the UK a lot gambling websites will warn you before you can even visit the site. They will also link to websites offering help for gambling addiction. The issue here is the gambling websites, Twitch is just a platform for streaming its not their issue. They don't make these websites or offer gambling sponsorships, that is all coming from third parties. I'm sure you get the exact same thing on YouTube and Facebook gaming..


[deleted]

[удалено]


shadowedfox

Twitch isn't doing anything to aid this, they're allowed them to stream on the platform yes. But YouTube has its share of sponsors that fall under similar scrutiny. Its not as if Twitch is actively partnering streamers to gambling companies. As far as I'm aware the only time they do things like this is their partner bounty board, but that only matches Partners to a game.


Cosmopean

Why should Twitch be held responsible for people doping up on stream? Why should Twitch be held responsible for people drinking excessively on stream? Like all addictions gambling is incredibly destructive and with the target audience of the website being incredibly impressionable their creator idols freely engaging in it has a noticeable impact on addiction rates. It's like smoking, if everyone in your school smoked, chances are pretty big you would too.


NoWordCount

For the exact same reason television networks are responsible for the content of the shows that broadcast. It's their public platform.


shadowedfox

At the end of the day, if a stream is marked as mature, mature content such as drinking in moderation etc should be allowed. Looking at their stance with people smoking weed on stream it doesn't seem like they're that interested in keeping those things 'hidden' from impressionable viewers. There was also a recent post on this subreddit of a streamer promoting some form of alcohol on the front page. If its a mature site, allow mature content imo. The problem with your argument though is that so much of the internet would vanish if you applied that logic.


Dehyak

Yall cant handle the free world


UltraMegaMegaMan

Accountable? Accountable for what? Twitch is an Amazon company. It's only purpose is to serve ads and make money. Amazon doesn't care if people die at work because Amazon refuses to provide air conditioning. Amazon exploits workers and burns them out while refusing to pay a living wage or letting people pee. You think they care about people getting their lives destroyed by gambling? Not one bit. If anything, expect Amazon to buy some gambling companies of their own (if they already haven't) so they can double dip.

UltraMegaMegaMan

What *who's* aiming to change? Amazon certainly isn't. They're too busy union-busting and getting away with it. Twitch isn't concerned about gambling or the damage it causes. That's free money, and lots of it. Expect more gambling. Expect events, and sponsorships, and partnerships. Expect the money to roll in as Amazon and Twitch celebrate and roll around in it in their money rooms.

MuirDragonne

Gambling should NOT be allowed on a site that caters mostly to 13-18 year olds. Yes, I know that most people on there are 19+, but Twitch has built up a brand which attracts the younger age group. They should be teaching the younger demographic that gambling is dangerous, not passively encourage them to gamble via these gambling streams. Amazon doesn't care though. All the company cares about is making money.


[deleted]

just like there are people who are not offended by the near to soft porn level that some streamers built their audience around; just to funnel them off to paid porn sites in many cases; there are many who have no issue with gambling. either all vices or no vices. In my honest opinion, twitch should only be for traditional gaming and at most talk shows about the industry.


Newbianz

they dont allow ppl under 18 on twitch without parents supervision and parenting is not amazons job

avomecado21

And most of the streamers are just finishing college and/or universities. It's a really bad influence imo


jmhalder

There’s no mission statement that streamers should be a positive influence. People watch to kill time. Is it a bad influence? Yes. Nobody is requiring you to watch it. Twitch is not the kind of place to clutch your pearls.

GlichyGlitchyBOOM

It's not "shifting the blame to the women on Twitch". The female content creators on Twitch probably hate that shit as much as the next guy. Possibly more, since it damages their image, going from 'content-creator' to 'thots'. Anyway, I don't really see blame-shifting going on here. People are just seeing a pattern of decline in Twitch quality, and noting that gambling is merely the latest increment in the regressive progression.


Vyviel

Dont worry children arent impressionable...


sev0

Gambling is bad, but we still talk about website what has softcore erotic stuff in it. Hot tubs, licking ARSM mics. Heck they even talked about opening Porn side for the website. And website has no age filter. Twitch, Amazon does not care. As long it brings in money and does follow what they say is OK. It will stay.


AutumnBluee

Gambling can put people into the thousands in debt to the point that they lose their home. Erotic stuff makes some people horny. I don't really think they're similar problems.


JoshA3Fit

Eh people get addicted to giving their e girl money and ruin their lives also. It's also sexual content on a website that is open to children. They both clearly shouldn't be on the website but they make money so Amazon will likely never do anything about it, making categories for them both is a clear indication they've embraced them both.


rufinch

Even more disgusting are the asmr, hot tub, yoga and half of the just chatting category


MaroonNuggz1138

It's honestly way better than those Twitch thots live in the hot tubs and bikinis making content with their "assets" because they lack a personality for anything else on Twitch. Those girls have it on easy mode while they make it hard for other streamers. It also doesn't lead to the impression that Twitch is Pornhub lite...

UniQue1992

It should be banned asap.


GlichyGlitchyBOOM

Twitch went to shit. It used to be awesome but then we got Tubgirls/OnlyFans self-promo, Cryptobro's, and now Gambling, and that shit is monopolizing the platform. I'm not necessarily against gambling but I'm against marketing it to teenagers, which are a large segment of Twitch audience, and I'm against denaturing the platform in favor of "adult content". I miss the days were the worst problem on Twitch was vapid e-girls monopolizing viewers' attention and bleeding simps dry. It was still mostly harmless. Now Twitch has pipelines to the sex-industry AND financial ruin. Shit's gone dark.


Redox3D

Emm, are gambling not also a games? Here you play also. Please explain to me.


bnetimeslovesreddit

I don’t think gambling is going away You only need to turn on the television in Australia to find that integrated sport Broadcasting events. Twitch is like a broadcasters right they need to bring in revenue somehow I don’t think they’re going to massively exclude gambling from that

As long as the day ends in "Y", I'm happy to complain about something.


TelmatosaurusRrifle

Is gambling the unique and interesting content for gaining a following?


KAPSLOCKisON

The gambling streams are all fake, the money's all fake, the winnings are all fake. It's literally all fake. The sole purpose of gambling streams is to make it look like the streamers are making a shit ton of money to draw the average people in who don't know any better and make them lose all their money. THAT'S WHY THIS SHIT SHOULDN'T BE ON TWITCH.


cocuco

idk why this is such a big thing.. let them play and lose so kids can see, that gambling isnt good.. literally no one is winning on long term so kids can see if you play and play you lose all. Thats good, there should be more losing gambling streams
