I’ve been there, we all have been there.
Here is something that really hits the nail on the coffin, a twitch streamer (and / or company) giving away a computer.
But this is the problem, this is why most twitch streamers get frustrated and quit, especially how they where belitting people because they didn’t meet the high standards.
Any partnership program is like applying for an entry level position that also requires years of experience ontop of it.
Like for instance I’ve seen a company that is hiring for an entry level cyber security analyst level 1 but needs an CISSP to get it.
The major problem lays down to this and even game companies have these same level of entry especially for twitch streamers. (IE: Warframe, Crytec, Rare, SquareEnix, etc….) as we sit with a catch 22 with no major help, these places don’t want entry level people they want CISO’s(metaphorically speaking) for their analyst jobs. So that give away with Mr Beast computer from Artisan’s is given away to a CISO instead of a real lucky person who could use it and benifit from it more than that CISO could ever do.
I’ve been doing custom computer building since 1998, inspired by a local shop called EaglePC. After a sour deal that happened in 2010, I’ve been on the down low on building and doing it as per requested.
On stream with no strings attatched I’ve held computer giveaways but because of various companies. But because the lack of support is why I stop trying and the pandemic happened, I might try again if I can ever get the support is needed to boost my community and be heard.
