Trainwreckstv streamed for the first time in three months, and he didn’t waste any time before going on a rant about other content creators who push gambling affiliate codes. He said he understands that affiliate deals will never go away, but he ponders whether there’s a better way to do it than the current structure:
Trainwreck has famously never promoted codes to his followers and consistently advises viewers against gambling. The 35-year-old said that by not doing so over the past five years, he has given up “billions of dollars.” He now believes his efforts haven’t made any difference, while he has given up minimum guarantees and affiliate deals.
Trainwreck put the price tag of his approach at $2bn. He went on to say that creators are making six to seven times the amount of revenue for their view count compared to if they were in a different niche and their lives have been changed as a result.
called out mainstream streamers who subsequently moved into the gambling sphere
He questioned why they are so greedy that they promote gambling in the “scummiest and darkest” way. Trainwreck especially called out mainstream streamers who subsequently moved into the gambling sphere. He believes they have a better understanding of the wider industry and should do things the right way.
