BrikoX'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment
givesomefucksThe streamers think they’re the stars and partners with the streaming company…
But the company is always going to treat them as products with incredibly short shelf lives under even the best conditions.
Twitch doesn’t view them as real people, and knows even if they do quit or are harmed even killed, millions of barely adults would kill to take their place.

Twitch has no competiton. As of 2024 they had 61% of total watch time across all live streaming platforms. It’s the kind of share that other industries would kill to have. None of the other streaming markets or even VOD platforms can achieve these numbers.
Take music streaming, Spotify only has ~32% of the market share even though they are kind of ubiquitous with music streaming at this point.
I don’t know where you’ve got those figures from, but according to this source, youTube has over 50% of the live streaming market, as measured in watch-hours. Then it’s TikTok, and then twitch.
Either that’s paid, or my browser’s being funny and not letting me download it. I found what appears to be a breakdown of those stats here: streamlabs.com/…/streamlabs-and-stream-hatchet-q4…
The numbers match up to your claim, give or take. You’ll notice, however that that’s only talking about gaming streams.
