    Burger King just made a major move in the Twitch space - a potentially ILLEGAL move! Loyal Theorists, were you one of the lucky viewers to see Burger King hop onto your favorite Twitch stream and use the text to speech message to advertise their food? Well, they DID and many of those Twitch streamers are NOT happy! You see, Burger King used them as cheap advertising rather than actually sponsoring them, which potentially cheats them out of money. So, was this sneaky tactic a genius move by Burger King to sell their Whopper or did they just break the law?

    BK really likes getying involved in this kind of things. There was also the incident where the person on the TV commercial would say "Alexa, what is burger King whopper?" to which the alexas at home that are in range of the TV would answer by reading the wiki entry for the whopper. Internet trolls retaliated by editing the wiki entry and putting cyanide to the ingredient list which forced BK to shelf that commercial.

      Burger king russia(aka russian sub-division) intentionally released an article about how their app **DIRECTLY STREAMS A VIDEO THAT WILL INCLUDE YOUR CARD DETAILS** on habrhabr(one of the biggest pure-tech site, something like old school "blog site", but for software developer professionals, it even had an invite system for a long while) and pikabu(just entertaiment site, functionally reddit, but smaller and worse and in russian). Got called out on it eventually, but nothing happened since the whole ordeal was a hoax on their part, just left a shitty aftertaste.

    I stopped eating burger king when they started to push for "healthy alternatives." Their whoppers have no taste anymore and a lot of their ads don't help them. The "not everyone is happy meal" was pretty much the last straw. Side note, I prefer how Wendy's did the social media thing. They basically took over twitter for a time by having a sassy red head anime mascot telling people off. People were willingly sharing their content because it was funny.

    I don't care about streaming or advertising. What pisses me off about this situation is A) the breach of decorum, and B) the hijacking. That's precisely what BK did here. They hijacked the stream for 30 seconds. The streamer couldn't stop the TTS message once it started, so there was no control; that's hijacking. They may have paid the individual streamers a minimum donation of a few dollars each time, but it was unwarranted and was done WITH THE STREAMER'S FACE ON CAMERA WHILE THE MESSAGE WAS READ. That ALONE makes it seem like it was sponsored, makes the viewers associate the message more with them than a random midroll ad. I don't care what the law says in the moment; even if they found a loophole, they're in the wrong. They violated the spirit of the law and violated common etiquette, and they deserve punishment.

    • @AmaraJordanMusic
      @AmaraJordanMusic 3 роки тому +2

      MessInMines I don’t think so. They often buy the info from info farms that buy the info from the websites you use. The websites DO tell you they will share info with third party companies, but it’s in the terms and conditions.
      So, for instance, your dog food company may sell your email address to an info farm, which sells it to Burger King, and then when you get a Burger King email, it’s legal. If you ask for them to not spam you, and they still do, I believe that’s not legal. But you have to deal with it in the first place. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    • @MessInMines
      @MessInMines 3 роки тому +2

      ​@@AmaraJordanMusic Yeah but in this case Burger King didn't have the consent from anybody. The viewers, the streamers, or even Twitch didn't give their permission to BK.
      The viewers agree to see advertisment when they use Twitch.
      The streamers agree to show their viewers ads from twitch when they chose to display them.
      Twitch allows companies to advertise on their platform when they make a deal with said company.
      Here Burger King had the consent from none of those.
      The problem here is that the only one that can actually go after Burger King is Twitch.
      Twitch can go to court over this for anauthorized advertisement and win easily, but i'm not sure twitch is willing to.
      Depending on the people in charge it's even possible that Burger King will still be able to advertise on Twitch after this.
      Money from shitty companies is better than no money in the corporate world.

      To be honest, those of us like me who are turned off by this kind of BS are probably the ones who were already not going to BK.
      I won't be giving them business for a while, but the last time I chose to go to BK, they were selling glasses for the 2009 Star Trek movie and I've only been through any businesses drivethrough about 10 times this year. They aren't losing money pissing me off. Meanwhile, one person seeing a stream, thinking it's funny, and going out and buying a Whopper almost entirely pays for the revenue they gave a streamer. Granted, that doesn't count the cost of whatever human employee they had doing it, the marketing team that came up with the idea, and the profit margin they threw on top before sending BK the bill, but it only takes a few, and it's likely they targeted high profile streamers to get more distance from their efforts.
      Sadly, being a jerk pays in marketing.

    I would like to say, some internet does come from satalites. It's called Satellite Internet and while in mainly brings it to rural areas, it is the same. So if any streamers that had this Burger King ad or whatever it was in their stream, and their internet was provided by the satellite, the yes. It would technically be illegal

    @partydave1067 2 роки тому +1

    In my opinion there should be another option in twitch which is advertisement/sponsership, and it should cost in accordness to how much the streamer wants it, calling it sponser-donation which should also add a subscription requirement.
    Anyone who break this rule (which can only be reported by the streamer) may sue the shady sponser for the proper price

      @‘‘ well, technically, they could have done 2 things with a budget of 10000$:
      1. Spend 10000$ on twitch for ads, targetted pretty much indiscriminatively towards people that ignore most of the ads and get very little profit from that investment, while the streamers who end up displaying those ads maybe earn 20% of the budget while Twitch keeps 80%, meaning in total, they basically pay Twitch an 8000$ tax for paying streamers 2000$.
      2. Spend 8000$ directly as TTS messages, during relatively high traffic, exactly when they want to, towards an audiance they want to, then spend 2000$ to get their advertisement about having been visiting streamers around to get the maximum amount of profits from their investments, quadroupling the amount of money that goes to streamers directly.
      So, while I disagree with their method, it's actually more streamer friendly than Twitch itself has been.

    the major difference here is that a youtuber chooses whether a video is monetized. they know and acknowledge the fact that ads will be placed throughout their video and they will not have control over these ads. the streamers gave no such acknowledgement or consent. imo, companies have no right practicing this sort of unsolicited advertisement and in this new age of communication it shouldnt remain legal
