 ====== Streamlabs Chatbot ======
+**2022 Update**
+This is a long overdue update, but I have noticed that this guide still gets quite a bit of traffic, and the majority of the commands posted here are still getting copy/pasted elsewhere. While I think that's great, I felt like I should offer an update regarding the current status of my own personal usage of SLCB. Without diving too much into the drama of things, Streamlabs made some poor decisions in their development process of their fork of OBS, Streamlabs OBS, that came to light last year. If you're unfamiliar with what occurred, [[https://twitter.com/OBSProject/status/1460782968633499651|this Twitter thread]] by the OBS team will explain the TLDR. It is important to note that the OBS devs have since stated that they are now currently on good terms with the Streamlabs team. However, for someone such as myself who literally makes a living off of contributing and developing for open-source communities, I made my own personal decision to find an alternative bot to replace SLCB. I am in no way suggesting users to migrate from Streamlabs, and again, this decision was my own.
+That said, the purpose of this update was to focus on two things: (1) I will obviously not be updating this guide in the future, and (2) the commands here still work, but there are simply better ways to achieve what these commands give by using more modern commands/bots.
+If you are interested in alternatives to Streamlabs, I believe the most user-friendly would be [[https://streamelements.com/|StreamElements]]. And for a slightly less user-friendly experience but powerful option, there is the bot I currently use, [[https://streamer.bot/|Streamer.bot]].

 If there's one thing I can't recommend more, it's to join their [[https://discordapp.com/invite/J4QMG5m|Discord server]]. You can find support there, as well as community made addons for the bot.
