is that twitch doing it or mountain dew doing it?

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.
