Twitch streamers ‘kiapiaa,’ ‘protezee,’ and ‘strwbrrymoogle’ have called out prebuilt-PC company Artesian Builds after the CEO Noah Katz allegedly changed the rules of a PC giveaway after “belittling” their stream stats.
Due to a global supply crisis, computer parts like graphics cards have become harder to come across and prebuilt PC companies have risen in popularity with content creators as they have the ability to receive products straight from the manufacturer.
One of those companies is Artesian Builds, which offers an ambassador program that allows creators to share a link or discount code with their community to earn a percentage back from each sale that uses their code.
Now, three Twitch streamers — kiapiaa, protezee, and strwbrrymoogle — have accused the company’s CEO of “slander” in regards to comments he made after they each won a giveaway.
In a multi-tweet thread on her Twitter account, kiapiaa posted clips of the Artesian Builds live stream after her name was chosen to win a completely built PC.
Starting off, her first tweet read: “They have monthly PC giveaways for their ambassadors, great, right? Except they don’t care for small streamers. I got chosen and they changed their rules last minute.”
After reading her Twitch stats and naming off what parts are above his “threshold,” Katz said: “Let’s see if you have any redeeming qualities.”
