^ Isn't this the guy with like 10 viewers who thinks he and his friends define the service?

^ Isn't this the guy who doesn't stream and whose opinion is just as relevant as his bullshit retort?
Fuck off. I'm not just talking about me.

So that raises the question, if viewership correlates to knowledge of the platform, how much do you and your friends with 10 really understand about it?

Why are you assuming that all of my friends have 10 viewers?
Why are you assuming anything at all, in fact? Or are you one of those people who have nothing to do with the discussion, but can't stop themselves from opening their beaks with their irrelevant opinions? I bet you're great fun at parties.
I am friends with a number of partnered streamers who average 500-1k+ viewers daily. That's where I get my information about how things are working at Twitch. If you know better, that's great, enlighten me, because I'd like to know. If not, I'll assume that they know better than either of us. They may not be Ninja, Shroud or whoever else, but they are partnered, and they know things that I don't.
Seriously, why do people always have to chime in? If you don't know anything, just shut your gob.

In other words, no one who's making a real living at it, unlike the people propping it up that I mentioned earlier in this thread. Twitch ad revenue has significantly underperformed projections over the past several years that commerce revenue like subs is bringing in more money at this point, which is surely not what Amazon had in mind. What's happening at Twitch now, from the woke nonsense to the DMCA shit, is either a part of or a pushback against Amazon's larger efforts to position Twitch as a major marketing arm of the company.
So you got any more hot insider takes for us poor schlubs left out in the cold?
This is the sentiment I'd expect from the average internet forum mod who's also a retard that thinks Biden legitimately won the election.

Im sure eventually there will be a similar agreement to what radio stations have when it comes to paying to play music during streams.

I don't see the industry giving them a license that provides a blanket commercial license to streamers as if it would be the same as a single radio station. Working out a deal when you need to be able to have a license the smaller but profitable streamers could afford doesn't seem to be even remotely possible. I would also expect any such deal Twitch could get would require streamers to have it or suffer extreme penalties for not having it and breaking the rules on that. Like 1 and done.
I'd be interested to hear from the big streamers and if they have attempted to get a commercial license for themselves and how that went.

So far as I've been told, there is no way for them to do so. The labels don't care to talk to any individual as they're hyper-focused on the entire platform being a potential legal cash cow.

Quoting this from 6 months ago. Situation now seems more dire as both sides consider the nuclear option.
Twitch's content creators don't care. They're still largely playing music from the top 40. Some of them have made their VODs harder to locate. Streamers have failed to both change their behavior and motivate Twitch into finalizing negotiations.
Twitch continues to show their lack of willingness to get a deal done. Obviously prepared to throw their creators under the rug. Amazon faces growing liability.
Record labels still calculating live DMCA takedowns, massive lawsuits against individual Twitch streamers for billions of damages, and the motherland lawsuit against Twitch itself for harboring illegal activity.
No party here is doing the right thing and everyone continues being unreasonable.

I'm not sure what is going on with Twitch. For awhile now I wasn't able to block ads on Twitch, I removed the add-on and reinstalled browsers etc, nothing worked, still ads. Today I decided to reinstall windows ( something I do every couple of months, to keep my PC running smooth ) and uBlock works perfectly fine for me after reinstalling windows.
Either its just a coincidence or something weird is going on here.

They fired Hassan after finally looking closer at him despite years of being the "send nudes to Hassan to get unbanned" meme. Hah!

Why bother with damage control when your service has no real competition?
