Former Amazon employee here - Twitch is IMO a perfect example of Amazon tactics. Acquire, ignore, drain the engineering team down to a skeleton crew, further en- 💩 -ify the platform, and then wonder why profits are dwindling.

Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

What a weird rollercoaster.
Three months ago at TwitchCon he was all smiles.
Wow who knew that capitulating to neo-nazis wasn't profitable.
Nope. It's because Twitch allowed nudity. This was the final straw for most
Would have blown right over if they didn't foster an audience of neofascists.
Nope. You're comparing two different issues.
If you're incapable of seeing the bigger picture then there's nothing I can or should say.
Bruh. Tf does a fascist audience have to do with Twitch falling off? What I was saying was that the debacle surrounding nudity was the last straw for most.
