I've spoken plenty of times about how I've never taken any sponsorships, and this right here is why. I never wanna be a part of this kind of predatory practice, and I'd never want to expose my audience to it. This is very similar to the kind of sponsorship offers I was getting bombarded with.

These styles of "sponsorships" from StreamElements are engineered to encourage streamers to attract more whales to predatory games
With target based payments it pushes streamers to ask viewers to play regularly & expose them to microtransactions

Dune doesn't have microtransactions, which I like ...
So uh. Seems a bit *odd* I'd be sent one of these sponsorship offers unless it was in fact some kind of scam.
They cast the widest net & only need 1 bite.
They know they'll lose early access to games if they give bad reviews
Most deals have a ton more information asymmetry.
Streamers have a handful of data points for how much a streamer makes for a 1 hour sponsor segment for a given viewer count. Palarium has 10,000× that.
