A dumpster fire, drama generation website comprised primarily of yapping narcissist sociopaths, simps, just-barely-not-pornstars, and insufferable v tubers…
…all of which is monetized and gamified as all hell, and aimed at mostly children and young adults…
…which consistently fails at defining and enforcing its code of conduct…
…all of this to be essentially a platform for advertisements.
Oh, did I mention they probably still are not even profitable?
If Bezos is brazen enough to tell WaPo to not endorse Kamala, its not much of a stretch to imagine this Amazon owned, giant corporate advertisement platform will soon be getting pared down and scaled back, further monetized/ad-infested, have much more draconian content regulation/censorship, and/or just shut down in the next year or so.
I don’t like capitalism.
I don’t like censorship.
But Twitch is basically a giant corpo run simulation of human interaction whose parasocial addicts users have the false impression that its some kind of staple, constant feature of their lives.
It isn’t, it is a failing business, and I really get the feeling that a whole lot of Twitch users are going to basically have their brains broken when it starts acting much more like a failing business.
… what even is Twitch anymore?
An Amazon owned streaming platform.
It’s where I go to watch speedruns of Super Metroid and reruns of MST3K.
There are so many better places to watch reruns of MST3K.
With live chat? That’s why I like to watch them on Twitch.
YouTube has live chat for it, but that’s not what I’m into.

Softcore streaming service SSS for short.
Hey I get free skins for Elite Dangerous ships by watching partner streams -.-
Sometimes it’s cool to just chill and chat with a streamer for a bit too.
I personally only stream to YouTube because 4k60 with A1V 🥹.
That being said ewwww to all this.
Clearly they are bending over for corpo overlords.
Yea I’ll wear a real life trigger warning for the poor homophobe babies. 🤬 Lol.
