First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

What’s happening with Twitch?

-> Twitch Is Dead

tldw: they also want to monopolize the moneymaking on their platform

All I really know about Twitch is that Dankpods fucked them off a while back in favour of Float Plane because they randomly de-monetised him and wouldn't talk to him.

I remember this, and that incident made me delete my twitch account. I love dankpods' content, and the whole situation made me angry.

To be fair, I'm not really the Twitch target I guess. I've only ever used it twice; once to watch my wife playing a game, and once to watch a stream of a bird feeder in Cape Town for some nice background sound while I was working.

But I guess part of my disinterest is due to the fuckery with Wade.

I wasn't a fan of Twitch already due to the unavoidable ads (or maybe I just don't know how to properly set up uBlock Origin), but this takes the cake.
