Twitch has been running at a loss for years I think they are trying to turn it more profitable by cramming more ads into the space which is making the platform worse for sure.

This platform is def not “leftist”. Liberal for sure.

People pay streamers directly through subscriptions rather than through a cable company. In that sense it is absolutely decentralized.You can call Amazon/twitch involvement in it as a counterpoint to my decentralized point but if you compare it to traditional entertainment, it’s still far more decentralized. Twitch is not the only streaming platform now. They are still the biggest but there are a lot of successful streamers on YouTube and TikTok.

Do you watch any twitch or streaming in general? It’s not all about boobs streamers and influencers. I don’t know about Emiru besides some entertaining clips but there are plenty of streamers who have a variety of entertaining content. You may not find it entertaining but a lot of young people do. Your view on streamers sounds very geriatric and antiquated. This is the next generation of decentralized entertainment. People have these kinds of para social psychotic relationships with traditional Hollywood entertainers as well.
No one is forcing people to give these streamers their money or forcing them to watch them. Infact, their decentralized nature, as opposed to Hollywood, makes so that they are exploring less people with how they get paid.
Stop being so antiquated. You make it sound like people don’t have agency over their own choices and what content they consume. Call out psychotic behavior but no reason to demonize people just because you don’t consume their content.

I love the signatures that are a full page of useless information but then at the end it says “please consider the environment and when printing this email”
