i'm a big fan of twitch. the communities built around games and people contain so much value which don't currently translate to revenue, but I think it will over time. I think twitch has to increase cost of advertising once people realize what kind of social capital that exists over there.

just my opinion.

Here's my opinion. Twitch is the shittiest content platform ever made, technologically and culturally. It's an inconsistent hyper-suppressive clown show where everyone has to collapse down to the lowest common denominator of puritanical censorship (unless they're Hasan or Frogan) because the backend is too retarded to be able to segment content for advertisers like YouTube does. On that note, fuck advertisers. And fuck Twitch. I can't wait until it dies.

And shout out to Asmongold streaming to tens of thousands of people on his unpartnered second channel, costing Twitch ~$20k per stream in lost revenue. Unfortunately, they're going to force him to monetize that channel soon. ;p

It's a cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs. But then there's also a negative side.
