Could you comment on why Twitch is aggressively, proactively enforcing copyrights on audio while doing nothing about copyrighted video?

My guess is that the music industry came after them with teams of lawyers.

If the video game industry did the same, VODs would cease to exist.

There is no legal reason why when doing a video game stream the music is protected but the visual images are not.

It makes a lot of sense to not be able to see your own rating.

Guy who is a dick gets dropped off and his rating is lower. Now he knows exactly who did it.

From there, who knows what he does. That's a good enough reason to not allow people to see their ratings.

According to the research company, they cover everything that my insurance won't cover

If they said this, it might mean that they wont pay your deductible for you, since your insurance would be "covering" it. You should get this clarified.

Also, drop your insurance. It's worthless. Look into government programs since you are poor.

We are exporting our manufacturing and technology jobs and wages for Americans are being ground down.

So what would you do to stop it?

Low skilled immigrants keep down wages in manufacturing in the US and H-1B visas are abused by the tech sector to keep down wages there. If companies need workers so bad, they should be paying Americans to go to college, not bring in outside labor. Also if businesses in the US need labor so bad, income should be skyrocketing as they compete for labor, but the opposite is happening.

I used to make doom and Duke Nukem 3D maps and they were just 2D grids. Doom was super simple, but Duke Nukem had many interactable objects and other things that made the editor much more complicated.
