It's unrelated to the post above. Just a good deal on a VPN.

But that's a good question that I don't have a good answer to.

No transaction fees. So creators on gifted subs would get ~3-5% more.

On Bits, Twitch benefits wholly as the rates are static.

Can't help but feel that this idea would have been great for Twitch - an ability to create text based communities around particular games OR streamers could have been pretty sticky.

Creators signed to Luminosity are starting to call out Vertiqal Studios, as well as its CEO, Jon Dwyer, for lack of payment and communication.

Vertiqal Studios ($VRTS TSX) acquired Luminosity on September 2, 2025.

Today I am removing any association I have with @Luminosity . I've been signed to the organization since August 1st and in my time over the last 3 months I have not been paid a dollar of the $3,000 I am owed. But the money is the least important thing to me. I joined Luminosity originally because of promises made to help fund events in the Minecraft content space. At the time of this tweet there has only been only radio silence. Radio silence not just to me, but to the roughly 30 other content creators that @Jon_Dwyer and his company operates. This is because Luminosity went under an ownership change in early September when Jon bought the org. Many of the creators, myself included, held out hope that eventually, surely, Jon would extend an olive branch to us given how patient, respectful, and understanding we have been during the entire process, and none of that was ever reciprocated. I'm posting this publicly not just for myself (although I am quite upset) But to also help give a voice to the other content creators who are still holding out hope with Luminosity. These are fantastic, incredible people who work hard and don't deserve the treatment they are getting. I'm incredibly lucky to be in a position where even though my girlfriend is going through expensive cancer treatment, the money is not something that makes or breaks my financial stability at the moment, but not everyone is fortunate enough to say that. There's so much more that I could mention, but this tweet is long enough. I'm incredibly sorry to my supporters who were looking forward to what this could look like for the future of Minecraft events and esports and I truly would not have signed and given hope in the first place publicly if it were not for the months before signing where there were meaningful conversations with the previous ownership group. I look forward to taking my ideas that I presented and working with other companies/organizations to make them a reality one day. Lastly I'd … This week will mark three months since I have received payment from @Luminosity , @Jon_Dwyer . My outstanding balance is now just under $10,000. @WeAreEnthusiast sold LG to Vertiqal Studios and it was taken over in the early days of September. Since then, we have not been introduced to even 1 singular person from the Vertiqal Studios team and our ONLY point of contact has been @tylernormington who (thankfully) was brought over with the transition. Unfortunately, communication with Ty has been few and far between as well but he let us know time and time again that he has just as little information. He has been left with the task of keeping his cool while trying to keep us members positive and hopeful. We were told this week we would receive any outstanding payment BY or ON Oct. 31 which I’m sure you can guess, didn’t happen. I am truly starting to believe Jon and whoever was involved in the decision of purchasing LG wanted this. Did you want the members to leave so you don’t have to pay us? I truly cannot think of a single reason why someone who is truly passionate about the org and wants to take it to new heights would be completely radio silent for this long. Jon has ignored all of our posts tagging him and hasn’t followed any of us back on here. Some of the other creators have mentioned this in our Discord but at this point, the owed money is less disappointing than that blatant lack of interest or care that the new team has for us. If I am being totally honest, Couri’s post is the first but I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t the last. I’m sorry this has been your experience, Couri. You are so very talented, hardworking and deserve to be in a space that celebrates you. I am going to continue to hold out hope but my patience, as well as my hope, are dwindling. Earlier this year I worked non stop, day and night for a month straight to win the Rising Stars competition and I have never felt more accomplished, inspired or proud of myself. I am so upset …
