    My tired brain read that title and thought they were somehow detecting mountain dew in people’s bloodstreams.

    pro-tip: instead of going to the trouble of finding and blocking this bot, streamers can also avoid its particular type of spam by simply never being seen consuming this product

    Inserting irrelevant advertisement into Internet chat at inopportune times for a viral marketing campaign is the exact opposite of the value I promote in my latest movie, Babylon, now available on select streaming services.

    Just like most of the internet, is Twitch going to turn into AI generated streams being watched and commented on by AI chat bot’s and adbots

    Read this initially as “in people’s dreams” and the absolute wave of horror that rushed over me is unknowable.

    This sucks too.

      Sounds like it’s a collab. Twitch is using their new “eye of Sauron “ automod AI and also scanning all video feeds for the mtn dew logo, bottles/cans/etc and then sending the bot into chat to shitpost about entering their contest and/or getting a front page raid.

      Why anyone thought we’d want this is beyond me. Twitch is so out of touch.

        At least these bots can be blocked clientside. Just wait until the entire stream gets personalized adverts and endorsements by the streamer injected directly by machine learning transformers.

        Nobody thought you’d want this feature lmao. You are a cash cow to be milked and they do not give a fuck whether you’re ok with having your udders hooked up to the pump.
