alessandroTwitch forces users to watch ads they can't click away from
AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptorWhat I find stupid is that people will keep using it after all the shit they are doing. I mean, it’s twitch, you can live without it. And yet, people will accept this bullshit and keep going because the alternative of changing platform is just too bothersome for them. In the end, I’m starting to think we have the internet we deserve.
cosmicrookieI feel like people are eager to change and make new habits but won’t go places where there is no content.
It’s the streamers and youtubers who need to move, but they won’t because of of the other platforms don’t have similar monetization
chickenIt’s possible for them to stream to multiple platforms simultaneously, it’s common for streamers to do twitch and youtube at the same time. If the tools make it easy enough they might do it despite no potential to make money right away.
Makes it harder for community interaction given split chats though. And chatting with other random people in chats is like 60% of why I watch streams at all, so breaking that ruins the experience imo. Its like hanging out with a friend whose also just on a phone call the whole time.
Pretty sure twitch has deals with streamers that restricts how they can stream. I think SimpleFlips had a video explaining why he stopped streaming on YouTube, he didn’t realize the twitch partner contract required him to stream exclusively on twitch at the time. I’ve also heard some things about how you can stream simultaneously, but twitch doesn’t allow you merging chats from different platforms, so if you want to show chat in the stream itself, each platform might need a separate box.
