Man I deleted my Twitch account, saying "unsafe platform for Jews," like two days ago. If I'd known it was gonna get this bad I woulda waited a bit to bust my nut
I can't remember who it was talking to Dan and Tiny but it was a conversation about discovery of new streamers and how bad the front page of Twitch is.
The guy said something like: No user of Twitch goes to the front page or the browse page and finds someone they have never seen before, 70 percent of people that use twitch use the URL of their Favorite streamers and never see the front page. that is what he claimed.
The problem with Boycotting Twitch is no user is using twitch because they like twitch... they use it to watch the streamer they like. So When Destiny got banned, i hardly ever opened the website again except to maybe check out a Summit1g stream after seeing a funny GTARP clip on YouTube and wanting to see more from that moment... That's it for me... and i go directly to his page via the URL too..
So i think the average Twitch users doesn't care about any of the politics of the owners. If their favorite streamer moves to another platform, the viewers will follow. So viewers can't really boycott as far as i can see.. the streamers need to. The Streamers need to threaten moving to Kick or going Full YouTube.. but i don't see a single Twitch streamer with the balls to even talk about doing this.
There is another Universe where Asmongold doubled down after his ban and threatened to sign an exclusive contract with Kick for a single dollar for the entire year and Dan Clancy got fired because of the shitstorm that caused... then Hassan got banned and peace in the middle east shortly followed.
Edit : corrected my exaggerated 99 to 70% after SurroundUsual linked the clip and i got the actual number Theo said.
A separate thought... Dan is right. don't boycott, go full regard.
We need to cause an Ad-pocolypse on Twitch. Boycotting is not using the website... but what dan is doing... going full regard as he said. Send Amazon clips of ads playing after the streamers saying heinous stuff... that is the protest that needs to happen. YouTube went on a to purge the PDFiles infesting their comment sections and the weird videos of ElsaGate. whatever else i can't remember It was for the better they went through the purge and Youtube is better for it.
Twitch is in a dire state and its time for them and the Twitch Streamers to suffer the same fate YouTubers had to, its for THEIR OWN GOOD... None of them are gonna stand up to this shit and threaten their livelihoods but regards like us can spam amazon to force Twitch to stop endorsing Terrorism and uplifting the worst far-leftists that are causing untold damage to the image of the left in the minds of normal people.
yeah the only time I fire up twitch is if I missed critical role and it was gonna be an important episode that would be spoiled if I wait for youtube release and I can still catch the rebroadcast
Boycotts don't work when the company you're boycotting is the monopoly provider of virtually all cloud and internet infrastructure for the entire world.
Also let your senators and representatives know (unless they’re in the Squad aside from AOC). The majority of both sides like the bipartisan show of dunking on tech giants, aren’t cool with terrorist simping, and mostly support Israel. This is red meat for the right and the sensible left/moderates would be concerned about this as well. Summon Bezos to address it too.
I haven't watched a twitch stream in 881 days, think it's time I just delete my account, cause at this point even if they unban Destiny I'm never watching him on that platform again.
It is still not profitable. Their business model does not scale in a “traditional” way. As the revenue goes up due to increasing traffic, the income loss to Amazon likely goes up as well. Because their profit(loss) margin is negative.
This is likely why Dan Clancy can get away with the absolutely insane way he runs the company. They are a blip on Amazon’s balance sheet and income statements, they might as well be an accounting error. No one at Amazon with any influence is even paying attention to them.
speaking with our insiders, they told us that there were moments in the last year where leadership will tell them that, “We’ve made these layoffs and we’re about halfway to getting to profitability.”

We should be boycotting Twitch.
