The maelstrom of A-b testing



I've discovered I'm a part of a conspiracy, the moment I decided not to partake in social media ab testing.

Twitch has made its mind up that it does not support creative risks like mine. Perish the thought that this is the place where big name publishers and Hollywood agents look.

Looking at the creative writing category within twitch, it's hardly popular. Along with simply doing creative tasks.
I'm most likely going to be stuck within the lower viewer average for a long time, constantly banged by the recommended category twitch has to abandon my project, or social groom it.

Meetings? Where I can't answer what it's for, I don't go. I've got enough placebo as it is, thank you.

I merely want to use twitch to mark my territory, have the time to do my big projects. Not to make a living being a social media groomer.

Don't have the time for it any more.

When social media executives compartmentalize terms in contradiction to the word exploitation, a fork in the road.

From the article in question, the bold text meaning what direct advertisers want.

They've put a fork in the road, either social media groom and play to the crowd, or we won't give you money

User, or product.

This is what we face when making work that matters, the user experience is not our friend. The user experience should not be burning out the artist by forcing him by burning the candle at both ends, for affiliation, status and more opportunity.
