Politicians are getting smart and are starting to use Twitch as a fund raising source.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and the leader of the New Canadian Democratic Party Jagmeet Singh Raised over $185,000 for Hungry Kids and Rent Eviction Relief while streaming a video game (Among Us) on Twitch. She had initially planned to stream for 2 hours but ended up streaming for a total of 6 hours. We have all heard of youtube streamers making insane amounts of money playing video games online. In order to this you have to be able to keep people entertained. AOC did not disappoint!
I have been saying this to myself since her first stream a few weeks ago (before the elections), Why doesn't she do this more often? Can you think of a more effective fund raising method as a politician? As an added benefit this is another way to connect with her constituents. Seriously It's a no brainer. And if we bring grandpa Bernis on the stream we can easily get one million people online. You guys should do it and test out the Twitch infrastructure.
Then my next headline would be "AOC and Bernie Breaks Twitch!"

Yahoo could pay you $358 for its massive data breach settlement. Here's how to claim it
If the settlement is approved by California courts, Yahoo could divvy up more than $117.5 million among users whose names, email addresses and passwords were stolen.
Eligible users can submit claims at Yahoodatabreachsettlement.com to receive at least two years of free credit monitoring services by AllClear ID.
If consumers can verify that they already use a credit monitoring service that they'll keep for at least a year, they can submit a claim for $100 instead. The true amount may be more than that -- up to $358 -- but it will likely be less, depending on how many people submit claims. File your yahoo claim here.
