Its funny how both Reddit and Twitch announce API or policy changes that creates mass discussion within their respective communities regarding longevity and user experience. Both companies are doing shitty things for the $$$ and simultaneously creating mass exodus(es?) to other platforms.
What I find most interesting, is the announcements were made during a similar time frame and both plan to implement their changes on July 1st. I think thats pretty suspect? Almost as if a shareholder has their hand in both their pockets making a big push at once.
What are all of your thoughts on this? Im curious to hear some other perspectives!
Netflix recently started cracking down on password sharing, people too thought it’d be the end of Netflix. But here we are, with Netflix still around and having record breaking signups.
So I’m guessing other companies realized that they can milk more money from people.
In Twitches case I think its a good thing. People will go to different services and there’ll be some good competition, same with Reddit.
