Dr Disrespect Banned From Twitch

[KaNesDeath]

⊲ Disclose when you have any financial, employment, personal, or family relationship with a brand.
» Financial relationships aren’t limited to money. Disclose the relationship if you got anything of value to mention a product.

⊲ Place it so it’s hard to miss.
» The disclosure should be placed with the endorsement message itself.
» Disclosures are likely to be missed if they appear only on an ABOUT ME or profile page, at the end of posts or videos, or anywhere that requires a person to click MORE.
» Don’t mix your disclosure into a group of hashtags or links.
» If your endorsement is in a picture on a platform like Snapchat and Instagram Stories, superimpose the disclosure over the picture and make sure viewers have enough time to notice and read it.
» If making an endorsement in a video, the disclosure should be in the video and not just in the description uploaded with the video. Viewers are more likely to notice disclosures made in both audio and video. Some viewers may watch without sound and others may not notice superimposed words.
» If making an endorsement in a live stream, the disclosure should be repeated periodically so viewers who only see part of the stream will get the disclosure.

⊲ Use simple and clear language.
» Simple explanations like “Thanks to Acme brand for the free product” are often enough if placed in a way that is hard to miss.
» So are terms like “advertisement,” “ad,” and “sponsored.”

It's really difficult for me to interpret this non-response as anything other than trolling. Did you seriously just link the FTC code of conduct guidelines for social media influencers regarding financial disclosures?

https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/disclosures-101-social-media-influencers

How in the blue fuck do you think FTC guidelines substantiate that a content creator badge at the Highguard event establishes a sponsorship deal with that gaming company?

Thats the problem. These are clear FTC guidelines that address your incorrect conclusions. Which you misinterpret again while threatening a account infraction for trolling.

No, they don't. FTC Guidelines don't offer any information about the Highguard creator badge, nor does it establish that those badges indicate sponsorship deals between the gaming company and the creators to whom they were allotted.

Here you can see three influencers under the content creator badge disclosing the sponsorship audibly in the video(first three seconds) and in print via video description per FTC guidelines.

This means nothing. That is coincidence. Again, where is your source that this content creator badge indicates a sponsorship deal for all who have it? What is the nature of that deal? Because this is easily dismissed. Content creator "Macro" said he was paid "a sandwich" to appear. That would be an appearance fee, anyway, but even appearance fees clearly were not universal, nor guaranteed.

Creator Claims They Were Paid 'A Sandwich' for Attending Highguard Event​

BTW, why did you suddenly abandon your FTC argument? Just a post ago that was the basis of your assertion this entailed a sponsorship deal. If that was the basis for your assertion, then why are your hopping onto an entirely unrelated-- and failed-- attempt to corroborate your claim? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........

You're blowing hot air. You're scrambling desperately-- Googling-- to try to justify a claim you made after you made it. Because you didn't know it to be true. You just invented it out of your ass when you said it. Furthermore, to iterate, this is incidental, and would not prove your original claim. You have yet to show us anything about the diminished sponsorship money Dr. Disrespect receives. What was it before, what is it now?

Source is the FTC guidelines.

When a game company pays for;

• Travel
• Accommodations
• Transportation to venue
• Food&Drink
• Venue
• Equipment to try out their product
• Needed equipment to create content around the product
• Supplies a free copy of the game(not in this case)
• Direct and indirect activities relating to the product(think pre and after party type activities)
• Supply gifts for them to leave with

All while the requirement placed on the content creator is to create promotional content around that product. Bar of labeling this a sponsorship deal was blown past after the first bullet point.

LOL, I identified the source as the FTC Guidelines. You copy pasted that without citation of the source, or mention of "FTC" at all. I get the sense you scraped it from an A.I. query without even knowing what it was.

For the third time, the FTC guidelines offer a code of conduct to prevent deceptive advertising, so an event pass doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a sponsorship deal. As I just showed you, no, not everyone who was invited received any sort of payment or subsidy, nor is any sort of contractual deal with the gaming company entailed. If you think being comp'd a sandwich at an event constitutes a "sponsorship deal" that FTC hawks would prosecute if someone didn't disclose it, then you are even sillier than I previously believed. Journalists are often comp'd meals at events like this, too. By your logic, this would entail a "sponsorship deal" by virtue of giving exposure to the game with their coverage. That's not what an advertisement is. It's obvious you don't understand what any of this means.

Also, still not distracted. Yet again, what was the sum of the Dr's endorsement deal revenue before the scandal, and what is it now? Show us the receipts, blowhard.

Yeah, must be why the quoted text i posted included the bullet point annotations from the actual pamphlet.

Its depressing that i even need to search how to show when a bookmark was saved, take a screen capture of it and then post it here. On a post that pre-dates and was never edited before your replies.

For the life of me I can't figure out how you think this bears at all on the point you are burdened with substantiating.

In the Texas A&M thread i was taken aback by the way certain forum posters had and willfully posted nicknames of you. But im starting to understand why. So much so that it has me pondering something else. Which would make these past eight years of interactions with you make sense.

Because this about face like it didnt happen is way out there.

Now you're trying to bring up unrelated threads in place of making your point. You're posting screenshots from an ESL event to establish that someone who play games in a public sphere and is therefore a social influencer has the bookmark of FTC guidelines for...social influencers. What is the point? Are you this daft? Nobody would have contested that FTC guidelines for social influencers are relevant to the lives of social influencers, and that they are understandably mindful of them.

You are burdened with establishing that every Highguard content creator badge necessarily carries a sponsorship contract with the company, and more largely, with establishing the difference in total revenue that Dr. Disrespect earns in sponsorship deals before his scandal vs. after.

You just say things, you make them up, and then you act surprised & evasive when people challenge you, "Hey, prove it to me."

 

[KaNesDeath]

Now you're trying to bring up unrelated threads in place of making your point.

Proof is there. Via FTC guidelines and three content creators who attended this specific event, that i posted. Even listed the perks a influencer will receive from attending such an event resulting in its sponsor classification.

Of course a hierarchy of pampering exists towards content creators at such events. But what you are alluding towards would result in a media classification. In the end arguing for a influencer who is ostracized from the industry. Thats faking credentials on Twitter to appear relevant.

 

[Madmick]

It is not, and I explained why it isn't, while also citing the testimony of a content creator at the event.

Nowhere have you provided any official materials regarding the nature of that badge at the event. Nowhere have you provided any records of Dr Disrespect's sponsorship revenues, or even mere known contracts compiled by the community.

Because you made up a claim before first acquiring knowledge to form that claim. You always do this. Always.

 

[KaNesDeath]

while also citing the testimony of a content creator at the event.

If you read the article. You'd notice his intent was that of a media credential participant. While expecting the perks of a content creator credential. It doesnt work like that.

I wonder what word Charlotte would have had Wilbur write in her web to describe how dumb you are. Dr Disrespect's misrepresentation of himself is completely irrelevant to establishing whether sponsorship exists for the content creator badge, but you were the one who didn't read your own article. You already claimed the opposite, and I already corrected you. That correction still serves to this second, errant claim despite what the article itself mentions.

Was a fabricated creator badge. Which if it were real, would be a sponsor.

There were both creator and press badges, and those were identical with the only difference between the bottom line saying either "creator" for creators, or the media company for the press badges. It appears he edited in "The Two Time", so it's purporting to be neither/both.

Nothing in the article about Macro said anything about him attending as a press member.
