    It’s assinine that these companies keep investing in ideas that A/ Rely on video and B/ Rely on the majority of their content creators contributing their content for free.

    The only thing that Twitch was ever going to do was drive traffic elsewhere. Hence why Amazon bought them. But they failed to get good at being Twitch. It still sucks in terms of performance and there’s no subsidiary platform for Twitch clips. Also didn’t they chase off most of their adult content creators?

    So they’re basically trying to be profitable off of traditional advertising? Ha!

      I hate to say it because I hate YouTube, too, but they’re getting pretty close to being as good at hosting streaming as Twitch is. The fact that full-length streams can just be saved straight to the user’s YouTube channel, with chat and everything else intact, is a pretty rad feature.
