I can't even be bothered to use Twitch to 'watch a stream to get a free item in my Current_MMO_09'. I don't know how they are still in business.

The only person I still watched on Twitch has just gone too far left for me. Not really unusual for an Austin streamer, but it doesn't help that the GTARP scene is filled with trannies and some of the most mentally unstable people I have ever encountered. Even some of his whales have left because his chat really pushes that leftist shit more and more. Not only that but he has been having Morgpie on lately and I can't stand her, even more insufferable when she isn't at least naked.

Turns out they found another guy who redeems his mmo rewards so they're all good. But seriously though, you do understand that you not using Twitch doesn't really mean fuckall for wether or not it's still running. They are I assume not growing, but there's still like eyeballing it over a million people watching streams right now, of which 5 or 10% are served ads(presumably). A lot of these bigger channels have hundreds of people subscribed and paying every months. I don't know if it's profitable at all but they're still making a bunch of money.

I don't really watch twitch and when I do it's just to check out new games and I just click random medium/low viewer count stream cause top streamers are usually insufferable to watch or are spamming ads(and my adblocker doesn't block them much anymore, although it comes and goes) but it's not really that surprising it's still running. Even Kick with like a 10th of the viewers still runs fine.

Kick has that gambling backing. There is no way they are making as much money as they are paying out on some of their deals. Although I heard those big deals are gone now.

I only experience Twitch through his YouTube channel. I used to log in monthly and give my free monthly sub to Totalbiscuit because I enjoyed his content and the co-optional podcast, but that stopped when he passed. I don’t recognize most of the top streamers anymore.

Jessecox and Dodger from co-optional do a podcast called Geekenders. Sort of co-optional adjacent.

Yeah I don't watch twitch or streaming. I will watch some Asmon YouTube videos and rarely others if they look interesting. I do always watch ItsaGundam videos because he's hilarious.

What's crazy is that streamers are one of the main ways people get video game information now. It's why despite Noodle being a tard they are part of the culture now.
