You need Twitch's permission just to turn on 2FA to use your own tools.
That's not a bug. That's custody.
Creator tries to connect a bot → told to enable 2FA → enters phone + password → gets dumped back to setup like nothing happened.
No token. No access. No automation. No explanation.
People think platform risk only starts when you get banned.
It starts way earlier.
It starts when your identity, your access, your entire workflow depends on a brittle flow you don't control.
If a platform can block you from securing your account, it can block you from building on top of it.
The channel isn't infrastructure. It's conditional access.
Creators don't just need better monetization.
We need systems where audience, tools, and payouts don't break because one gatekeeper flow fails.
If your business stops at "Verify," you were never holding the keys.
This is why decentralized identity and onchain social graphs matter. Not your keys, not your audience.
