I would like to thank weirgg for East India Company.

Today I had to unlink some game titles from my wishlist because IG refuses to save changes due to the 10,000 character limit.
I do not know what is the cause of this and how to check it. Everything looks normal, and other posts look longer with more characters than my post...
... or I'm wrong and my wishlist could have exceeded the 10,000 character limit.

Probably it is caused by using a lot of hyperlinks (not sure). You don't see it but in reality you hyperlink looks similar to:
[East India Company](https://store.steampowered.com/app/25930/East_India_Company/)
So it has more characters.

Maybe hyperlinks also count towards the character limit?
Have you tried removing them and then checking if you can add more games?

I'm aware of this.

I have exceeded the 10,000 character limit when I wanted to link profile of donor as a small sign of gratitude.

First I thought that some formating causes it in "invisible" way that's why I've asked here about it.
I wanted to show other posts with a lot of hyperlinks to compare but they dissappeared. It seems they exceeded the limit too.

I can take this as proof that it is the fault of hyperlinks. :)

It's ~300p per hour.. I need ~4h to go 10k
So that's about 1-2GB.. Hmmm... And if I forget to click the box maybe even 3-4 hmmm...
200GB = 20 euros (stupid plan don't ask xD ) so it's 0.2 cent per GB. 0.4-0.8 to reach 10k points.. Hmmm.. I'll probably go for a coffee to use wi-fi or I'll drop it. It's not worth 1 euro. What I can get with those 10k points I can find cheaper xD

And yes it helped a lot. Thank you!
This is why I dont watch streams. Mobile data is also how I connect to the world but I only get 30G so I have to be even more strict with my budget.
I tried out Twitch a while back and yeah 160p still chews thru data. Its cheaper to go buy a key than earn via watching, if you're paying thru the nose for data.

You can still earn points while the stream is paused

Yeah, since the new way is on streamelements and they track the time the tab is open, not if you are actually watching/have it paused.

I was counting this just for the weekend event.. I had forgotten that it's faster there though + those 50p boxes.. So I went for coffee and took my points xD
