For companies like Twitch or Kick, how much do layoffs like these affect the actual streamers?

(Like are the layoffs usually accompanied by them reducing the streamer's revenue share, or things like that?)

Right before this they chose to exit Korea. https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2023/12/05/an-update-on-twitch-in-...

that has nothing to do with staffing. Korea has a uniquely hostile ISP market where service providers want to charge foreign services ridiculous amounts (versus peering agreements in most markets) for access to Korean consumer networks

Interesting. Is it true what they claim? Why is it so much more costly for them to operate in Korea?

It can affect it quite a lot, I think if things like Twitch Rivals, competitions etc etc are dropped or downsized.
