Imagine the standard that could set, sueing the large cooperations to change their practices and get you donation refunded out of the corporations pockets

2018-09-18 17:04:29 UTC  

We'd no longer need the government to police things like twitter

2018-09-18 17:04:38 UTC  

suing people doesnt really work like that

2018-09-18 17:04:50 UTC  

you dont sue someone then get to dictate things to them

2018-09-18 17:05:00 UTC  

you sue them get money and hope that changes them

2018-09-18 17:05:07 UTC  

but they dont have to change

2018-09-18 17:05:14 UTC  

and likely will just pay to have the thing go away

2018-09-18 17:05:14 UTC  

Depends on what the judge decides really

2018-09-18 17:05:25 UTC  

not in civil court

2018-09-18 17:05:59 UTC  

the judge can say stuff but there is not really any guarentee in civil court that anything will change legally speaking

2018-09-18 17:06:17 UTC  

True, there is not guarantee they will change, but why keep doing something people can successful keep sueing you for?

2018-09-18 17:06:33 UTC  

payout vs profit

2018-09-18 17:06:36 UTC  

Particularly something as simple to change as "just refund the money"

2018-09-18 17:06:40 UTC  

if the payout is lower than the profit

2018-09-18 17:06:47 UTC  

they will pay out till they are blue in the face

2018-09-18 17:06:56 UTC  

just look at the auto industry

2018-09-18 17:07:02 UTC  

they literally made that their jobs

2018-09-18 17:07:03 UTC  

lol

2018-09-18 17:07:12 UTC  

They are not profiting from this tho, according to the YouTube rep, YouTube donates all the money.

2018-09-18 17:07:27 UTC  

They don't keep their share then donate the creators

2018-09-18 17:07:30 UTC  

they will still make money off the stream

2018-09-18 17:07:34 UTC  

I mean, I guess they get tax right off.

2018-09-18 17:07:38 UTC  

they will just donate the donations

2018-09-18 17:07:43 UTC  

the advertisement money

2018-09-18 17:07:45 UTC  

will be kept

2018-09-18 17:07:53 UTC  

if that is higher than the payout

2018-09-18 17:07:57 UTC  

they wont budge

2018-09-18 17:08:08 UTC  

Yeah, but that's not what you are suing for, it's the superchats.

2018-09-18 17:08:26 UTC  

right but yahoo only looks at the profit they make in this case

2018-09-18 17:08:35 UTC  

they dont care about the 20 bucks from a superchat

2018-09-18 17:08:59 UTC  

you got to look at it from a corporate standpoint. if they take, say 200 bucks out of superchats

2018-09-18 17:09:01 UTC  

No, but a lawsuit that can keep happening costing them money over and over for a donated 20 bucks?

2018-09-18 17:09:02 UTC  

gets sued

2018-09-18 17:09:06 UTC  

and has to pay out 5k

2018-09-18 17:09:11 UTC  

just as an example

2018-09-18 17:09:22 UTC  

but they made 10k just from all the views in the supershat

2018-09-18 17:09:30 UTC  

guess what keeps happening

2018-09-18 17:09:40 UTC  

all of those numbers i just pulled out of my ass as example

2018-09-18 17:10:04 UTC  

We need to know how the superchats work.

2018-09-18 17:10:12 UTC  

i bet the youttube law team wouldnt even break a sweat on that lawsuit

2018-09-18 17:11:04 UTC  

No, but this is why I asked about getting a refund
