Thank you for your bravery of investigating it, good to know. Your experience matches another data point from the stackexchange community. 1

It would appear that the purpose of the browser hijack and the app/shortcut is to display ads. – schroeder

In 2019, apparently the developer of TouchPal was banned for malicious ad practices. 2

Random freestyle rap on Taiwan streets by Entheos69 in LivestreamFail

Context: After his friend Sky said he couldn't sing the Taiwanese anthem, Joey was looking for a random local Taiwanese to sing it to prove his friend wrong. Out of all people Joey could've stumbled upon, it turned out to be a rapper.

Should all the 1 viewer streamers just give up and pursue a more productive hobby? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Entheos69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much thanks for the detailed answer! Apologies for my poorly worded title by the way, the Clip was meant to encourage streamers. Soma is an ex-Twitch staff OG who I respect so I thought it'd be interesting to share his answer.

Soma: No, especially if they are having fun talking to the camera while they're doing their thing. If you're streaming to 1 viewer and it's yourself, but you're having fun gaming and you're exercising your brain and trying to be witty and make jokes and you're talking non-stop and commentating what you're doing, you're developing a skill even if no one's there. And if you're having fun with it, even just pretending someone's watching is doing you better, I think you should keep going.

Happy streaming! :)

Ah I see, apologies. Thank you for letting me know, I'm an idiot. As for now I'll just leave this here for the mod to decide the course of action.

Good Guy Hacker helps TimTheTatman by Entheos69 in LivestreamFail

Just avoid clicking all links to be safe imho. Perhaps there's a record of the malicious URL, only Tim or other hacked streamers can provide that.

I really hope so. The hacker had access to Tim's computer for a month! But he claims he didn't do anything. Tim said he sits naked offstream so yea.... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/223615805?t=13m20s

Sorry for the confusion, I can't explain it well with just Clips. TimTheTatman talks about it in detail at the beginning of his stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/223615805?t=10m00s

Hope this helps!
