TH-cam doesn't need to that's why. Despite how much ppl complain, TH-cam has become almost a must have. Twitch is niche and will always be. TH-cam just has to wait and they will outlive Twitch easily.

@@CitizenTechTalk what about TH-cam? In fact, you should multistream to as many platforms as possible, even platforms you wouldn't think your target demographic would be on. I'll give you a perfect example of this so you'll see why it's worth it: You've probably heard of the game Genshin Impact. Anyone were familiar with that game has also probably heard of the game they made after that called star rail. Now, these are very popular games with a lot of young people playing them, and one particular meme from Star rail was one of the characters Japanese attack voice lines "KURU KURU!" Somebody took those adorable voice lines (which were already a meme because of how freaking cute they were) and vocoded it over the Super Mario world ending theme, specifically the part that you hear in the "pet the X" memes. That video currently has 2.2 million views on TH-cam. Guess where the video came from? Facebook. That's right, FACEBOOK spawned a viral meme for a popular gocha game. If you actually care about growing your audience, stream everywhere at once, TH-cam, TikTok, kick, and yes, even Facebook.
I've rarely ever watched Twitch, but I have definitely noticed lots of youtubers I watch starting to stream on youtube and fully abandoning Twitch for youtube
I remember when TH-cam went through policy hell in 2015-17 with demonitization and almost entirely banning swearing and people started moving to twitch once it started advertising it’s less strictness and now it’s the opposite twitch is being money hungry and streamers are moving to TH-cam for near risk free streaming
It feels like Twitch is acting like it really thinks it's the only streaming service people can use and that they can do whatever they want because there's nowhere else to go. The ironic part is that these changes are giving other streaming services the opportunity to take over.
I very much prefer youtube because unlike twitch,streams in youtube do not become lost media after 60 days If the streamer does not upload the vod on youtube

Now we have to do things in a completely different way that is not half as efficient as what we did before. Imagine finishing work at 330 and with the change its now done at the earliest by 430)
creators cant burn in ad bits any more but twitch can completely hijack your stream to place ads whether you want them to or not. Truly an incredible development.
I've never been much of a twitch person over the last 10 years. But a friend of mine started streaming on Twitch. So i've been using the platform more so I can support her, good lord is the ad experience there miserable. I only had 1 blocker installed before Twitch, and it's worked fine making sure I'm not getting invasive ads all over the place. It *DOES NOT* work on Twitch, instead it just makes the site crash every 15 minutes. I've had to hunt down 3 other blocking extensions, all of which break at some point and have to be disabled until they get updated. It's a *miserable* experience and I have been discouraged from looking for new streamers on Twitch.
I’ve basically stopped using twitch in it’s entirety because unless I’m subbed I’m generally met with 2-6 minutes of ads just entering a stream. So raids etc are just a inconvenience to the viewer now. I join a raid and I get to see the streamer in a tiny box in the corner of my ads. Why sit through those ads when I can just watch any other service and have less to no ads? They’re killing smaller streamers chance of gaining an audience as well so they’re not even lucrative to streamers.
@@Deadsnake989 Wait you're talking about smth completely different here... regardless of which streaming platform you're on, why would you even expect/want your ad-blockers to completely block any ads while watching a streamer? That's basically denying your streamer any source of income from you watching, thats being naive and inconsiderate. I have ad blockers just as you, but whenever ads start playing I don't click off and I watch them through or at least leave them on in the background, so I can do my part supporting the streamer I'm watching. What we're complaining about here isn't that we have to watch any ads at all during a stream. It's that Twitch is now trying to completely prohibit SPONSOR ads from playing, and only want their own ads to play.
@@iljaxox526 The big problme is unlike youtube not only you can't skip the ads but also you don' tknow when there is a ads and worst the adds doesn't fit at all in the stream and cute the stream randomly making you love several minute of content or discussion . there is hundred of way to fix it and give a middle ground but nah they prefer being a shitty big corp like the others.
When I saw this, it reminded me of what happened several months ago with whole wizards of the coast and dungeon and dragons thing when they tried to change the ogl(open game license) and the community blew up
Advertisers will want this and twitch has done it with their blessing. Advertisers can now go directly to twitch, the one stop shot, and twitch can now offer cheaper rates as they get a cut of everything. I'm no expert but I very much doubt these changes were made without consulting advertisers who collectively have the most clout in the social media space.
This is a stepping stone. As you said, this is a means to force every streamer to get their sponsorship through Twitch. However, eventually Twitch will adopt a policy similar to the UFC where if a sponsor is not directly affiliated with Twitch, you are not allowed to stream in association with that sponsor. For context, the UFC adopted a similar policy where a fighter can only dedicate a small percentage of their kit to endorsements. A short time later, UFC fighters had to adopt a policy where a fighter was banned from endorsing competing companies who were otherwise directly affiliated with the UFC company brand. I. E. a fighter endorsed by Under Armour or Nike could no longer where Under Armour or Nike kit because the UFC as a company now has a contractual sponsorship with Reebok. Refusal to adhere to UFC policy invalidates any agreement to fight in the UFC forthwith. So imagine for a moment that a game streamer could no longer stream or had to suspend their stream because it was found out that this poor streamer was using a PC built by CyberPower, or Origin, or Digital Storm; and they violated Twitch policy because company policy clearly states that in order stream you must adhere to the company endorsement and be using a PC made by Acer or maybe even Apple; and this just steamrolls down the line. To what boom mics you can use, to what headsets can be used, what books livereader's are allowed to feature; all the way down to what chairs you are allowed to sit in should you even decide to continue live casting instead of Vcast.
@@Dragoonsoul7878 What will change if all the people who care appear to be in the extreme majority???🤔🤔 A LOT or they either keep what's working the same🤓
@@Dragoonsoul7878 They do all the time. Twitch isn’t backed by any bureaucratic butt buddies, like the banks and airlines are for example. “Too big to fail” just means corporations that are in with the government, they work hand in hand to get rich off of the tax paying consumers. They can’t fail because the government will always bail them out with our tax dollars. That isn’t the case with twitch. And Amazon doesn’t give the first shit about twitch either, the second twitch’s revenue drops below a particular percentage, Amazon will drop them like a rock
unfortunately, nothing will happen, Amazon is one of the most wealthiest corporation, if Twitch die, they can shut it down with little damage to the suits, only people affected are the employees, streamers, viewers, sponsors, basically, anyone who isn't invited to Bezo's yacht
This is when we get another tv…set it behind the streamer and let it play the ad. If twitch has something to say you let them know that the tv is part of the sponsored package deal and their policy says you’re allowed to have the physical sponsored content behind you during stream.
The goofy corporate calarts is the cherry on top and along with kicking creators left and right it's a complete indication this decision was made by the type of people you would expect.
And yet TH-cam won't. They know competition is bad for both parties. It's better to sit back, do nothing, and let people get used to having less and less.
@@bluedrakken At least TH-cam screws everyone equally. Twitch plays favorites and wants to force people to earn money their way or the highway (until it’s no longer profitable to do so lol)
I think the craziest part about this is that it doesn’t necessarily matter if they push this through or not - big creators that have their own ties to brands and their own networking are likely already planning exit strategy just because they even suggested this idea at all
I know Asmongold is most likely going to switch to a different Streaming Service and Katliente is pretty pissed about the whole thing. I'm sure there are plenty more who feel the same way... Best part is Affiliates will have to pay 25$ to leave Twitch xD
And they gonna switch to what? Twitch and yt are only platform with any real audience and YT is going same way if not worst as YT is unwatchable without Adblock.
@@Zavalas_SMT Thats because youre used to it now. In 2014 you had like one 30 second ad playing before a 3 hour long video and you could still skip that ad after 5 seconds or so. Now you sometimes have to watch ads longer than the actual videos youre watching. Thats because TH-cam really wants you to buy Premium. Better to just use adblock. Fuck em. Twitch ads are arguably worse, though, that shit is getting close to Free-Tv ad breaks already, its only a matter of time
Twitch: We're sorry it was too confusing and causing you to misunderstand us. Translation: We made the mistake of writing up rules that were too transparent and clear to show our true intentions. We will write up a more convoluted set of rules, filled with legal jargon that blurs the lines enough so that people can't see our true intentions.
Twitch should only have people stream as a hobby like it used to. Just people sharing the same hobby which was gaming. No money hungry hyena's chasing partnership or putting up sub goals, sponsorships etc.
@@xPhantomxify you mean people trying to make a living on a world which is entirely rigged to make you suffer as hard as possible? Streaming and uploading was the only good thing millennials got. Everything else was taken away and what is currently around is now being changed to not last either. No jobs and a living crisis that doesn’t seem to end.
But this is always what happens. Uber used to be for car sharing, now its just a taxi service that treats its drivers worse. Airbnb used to be for people to rent out their appartment while their gone. Now its mostly just professional landlords using it and most of the time far worse that a regular hotel. The original purpose behind a app is usually not the most lucrative business model. Thats just capitalism at work.
Wish they were like "we did a thing, and this is why" instead of some vague cringe- "sorry but also you're too dumb to understand" bs. Nothing wrong with wanting more money or whatever.

They don't need to. Literally no incentive for them to learn anything other than ways to exploit the workforce and extract wealth. Welcome to capitalism. CORPORATIONS DO NOT CARE ABOUT US and we as humans are too submissive and pathetic to ever stand up for ourselves with anything other than whining on the internet. Twitch is just laughing its ass off at all the empty threats from people who think streamers are gonna finally up and leave. If they leave for youtube, they take a straight 75%++ cut to their profits. Half as many people watching league right now, and youtube viewers don't tip. The financial incentive to stay on Twitch even if Bezos is pounding the streamers in the ass is ENORMOUS. TH-cam is not a real alternative, and neither are any of the other tiny services trying to take Twitch's place.
"Jun 7, 2023 - Twitch says it's "immediately" removing guidelines it announced yesterday that would have limited sponsored ads in streams." - several sites covering the changes Phew.
Twitch took the phrase “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” to a different level. They’re literally massacring the hand and saying “what? I didn’t do anything wrong?”
They severed it put it in a meat grinder made handburgers ate em 💩em out used the 💩 as fertilizer grew crops and then dropped a tsar bomba on the finished result
Because they backpedaled on the policy update they aren't doing it anymore that's why they are still alive. If you really think hundreds and thousands of streamers wouldn't leave as soon as they could your a spastic
I genuinely can't imagine how Twitch is this out of touch with its user base. There has to have been thousands of videos with millions of views talking about how top streamers are leaving and all of these policies are garbage yet they still refuse to change course at all. They will be shutting down with no revenue and simply won't know why. Truly a ship with no captain.
They aren't out of touch, I don't think. They understand what this will do. They're just trying to call everyone's bluff and don't think they'll leave. And if they leave, they're convinced that all the fans will stay.
@@adaenis Well, then they ARE out of touch, because they clearly have no capacity for understanding that big streamers are already leaving, or contemplating leaving, and that many of them already have their feet deep into other platforms. Charlie will have absolutely no problem migrating to TH-cam, he uploads TH-cam videos twice a day, gets millions of views every week, and has a firmly established presence on this platform. If he can dodge TH-cam's bullshit, and if the money's good, he will not skip a beat transitioning to TH-cam. He already has a VOD channel, all he needs is a new layout, and he's good to go. I think if Twitch goes ahead with enforcing this decision, they will be sorely disappointed by how off the mark they are on this.

Feels like that Fine Bros REACT move. Whatever the reason they say, the optics on it seems like a greedy goblin move to scrape percentages from everyone from "smaller" sponsored streamers to Esports and events.
I love how every company and game studio are getting so bold in their greediness that it backfires, and results in them kneecapping themselves. Every. Single. Time.
they're testing things by "lets just pass this and see if it backfires and we'll dial it back until it fits" method and it has worked every single time
yeah what the fuck has been happening in the last 5 years. has every company CEO had a recent blow to the fucking head? it seems like theyre just making the most retarded decisions
This one is especially wild because it's exactly the OPPOSITE kind of stupid that every other company is doing. Twitch is forcing you to not do ads, and everywhere else is forcing you to see as many giant ads as possible.
So twitch will force us to watch 6 non skippable ads and cut everyones pay, but if a creator gets a sponsor ad read thats the boogie man? Twitch will literally pimp out every single creator unless they don't get a slice of their pie I guess, and if thats the case their response is to ban the pie.
Another AWFUL change they slipped under the rug was the ability to multi-stream for non partners/affiliates. If you want to stream on twitch in ANY capacity, you are bounded to that site and that site only. TH-cam, Kick and Rumble do not have this policy, so now aspiring streamers have to choose between simultaneously streaming on 3 different platforms all on the upswing, or shackle themselves to Twitch as the boat hits iceberg after iceberg. The optimal career move is becoming more and more obvious and time goes on…
If you stream or choose to stream on kick be warned the site is full of degenerates and people who gaslight. Apparently an acquaintance of mine did a video wherein she discovered that kick was being run by perverts.
For a second I thought Charlie cut his hair and I almost started freaking out. Never ever cut your hair Charlie, it will be the downfall to our society.
It is genuinely insane to me how companies think tightening the leash for extra money is ever a good idea, these are the people who pay your bills. They would be absolutely nothing without their creators, yet they treat them like they are lucky to even go live. They should be on their knees, begging for advice, yet they are too diluted to ever ask for help.
As we see, this is the result of tightening the leash a bit too much, as the head popped off and now they are losing their bloodline of streamers and their sponsors
I'm honestly baffled at how all these big platforms are making these idiotic decisions lately. It's like the higher ups at these various companies met up one day and started huffing lead paint.
They're counting on the negative response being disjointed rather than organized. It's just the platform version of cutting shifts and benefits and expecting the wage slaves to pick up the extra slack for no extra pay.
the answer is pretty simple. those tech companies, including youtube are Not profitable in the first place and may loose far more money then they make. they basically survive on investment money. so they have to make crappy changes or promote politics to make money somehow.

This is happening at the same time as Reddit cracking down on third party clients. Just plain old corporate greed ruining these platforms. Don't know if an alternative will become available.
The alternatives are already available. They've been for years. But people will still stay on Twitch, Reddit etc. because that's where the money and force of habit stays. People will stay on those sites even if those corporations send people to their house to break their kneecaps.
@@0verWay The reality is we use Reddit because it is where the users are. Going anywhere else, you will not find the userbase. Bill gates is not going to do an ask me anything on some random website, the reality is that the users of Reddit are the goldmine that we go there for.
Not really. People who use 3rd party apps are in the minority. The problem is reddit is removing freedom to customize(which alot of people dont care about). And the possibility of more ads(imo what the majority is concerned about). Honestly i've tried other 3rd party apps and reddit is just easier to use. Ads are easy to scroll past and ignore anyway(unlike on youtube and other platforms). Twitch changes is much worse because it changes the whole way how streamers monetize. The most affected from the new rules are the biggest streamers, and their big fanbases aren't happy about it too.
Imagine having a 45 billion dollar company and deciding, "You know what. That goose that lays golden eggs eats way too much..."

That video currently has 2.2 million views on TH-cam. Guess where the video came from? Facebook. That's right, FACEBOOK spawned a viral meme for a popular gocha game. If you actually care about growing your audience, stream everywhere at once, TH-cam, TikTok, kick, and yes, even Facebook.

I've rarely ever watched Twitch, but I have definitely noticed lots of youtubers I watch starting to stream on youtube and fully abandoning Twitch for youtube
I remember when TH-cam went through policy hell in 2015-17 with demonitization and almost entirely banning swearing and people started moving to twitch once it started advertising it’s less strictness and now it’s the opposite twitch is being money hungry and streamers are moving to TH-cam for near risk free streaming
Both suck. Without the youtube skip advert trick, I wouldnt be here either.

It feels like Twitch is acting like it really thinks it's the only streaming service people can use and that they can do whatever they want because there's nowhere else to go. The ironic part is that these changes are giving other streaming services the opportunity to take over.

creators cant burn in ad bits any more but twitch can completely hijack your stream to place ads whether you want them to or not. Truly an incredible development.
I've never been much of a twitch person over the last 10 years. But a friend of mine started streaming on Twitch. So i've been using the platform more so I can support her, good lord is the ad experience there miserable. I only had 1 blocker installed before Twitch, and it's worked fine making sure I'm not getting invasive ads all over the place. It *DOES NOT* work on Twitch, instead it just makes the site crash every 15 minutes. I've had to hunt down 3 other blocking extensions, all of which break at some point and have to be disabled until they get updated. It's a *miserable* experience and I have been discouraged from looking for new streamers on Twitch.
I’ve basically stopped using twitch in it’s entirety because unless I’m subbed I’m generally met with 2-6 minutes of ads just entering a stream. So raids etc are just a inconvenience to the viewer now. I join a raid and I get to see the streamer in a tiny box in the corner of my ads. Why sit through those ads when I can just watch any other service and have less to no ads? They’re killing smaller streamers chance of gaining an audience as well so they’re not even lucrative to streamers.
@@iljaxox526 "stream may play during your scheduled ads"
@@Deadsnake989 Wait you're talking about smth completely different here... regardless of which streaming platform you're on, why would you even expect/want your ad-blockers to completely block any ads while watching a streamer? That's basically denying your streamer any source of income from you watching, thats being naive and inconsiderate. I have ad blockers just as you, but whenever ads start playing I don't click off and I watch them through or at least leave them on in the background, so I can do my part supporting the streamer I'm watching.
What we're complaining about here isn't that we have to watch any ads at all during a stream. It's that Twitch is now trying to completely prohibit SPONSOR ads from playing, and only want their own ads to play.
@@iljaxox526 The big problme is unlike youtube not only you can't skip the ads but also you don' tknow when there is a ads and worst the adds doesn't fit at all in the stream and cute the stream randomly making you love several minute of content or discussion . there is hundred of way to fix it and give a middle ground but nah they prefer being a shitty big corp like the others.

Gotta admire Twitch's dedication to pissing everyone off at once, including streamers, advertisers, viewers, and their own damn employees
Advertisers will want this and twitch has done it with their blessing. Advertisers can now go directly to twitch, the one stop shot, and twitch can now offer cheaper rates as they get a cut of everything.
I'm no expert but I very much doubt these changes were made without consulting advertisers who collectively have the most clout in the social media space.

@@Dont_Read_My_Picture okay i didn’t
Nah this is bad because TH-cam won't improve their platform if they don't have to or if there's no competition.
This is a stepping stone. As you said, this is a means to force every streamer to get their sponsorship through Twitch. However, eventually Twitch will adopt a policy similar to the UFC where if a sponsor is not directly affiliated with Twitch, you are not allowed to stream in association with that sponsor.
For context, the UFC adopted a similar policy where a fighter can only dedicate a small percentage of their kit to endorsements. A short time later, UFC fighters had to adopt a policy where a fighter was banned from endorsing competing companies who were otherwise directly affiliated with the UFC company brand. I. E. a fighter endorsed by Under Armour or Nike could no longer where Under Armour or Nike kit because the UFC as a company now has a contractual sponsorship with Reebok. Refusal to adhere to UFC policy invalidates any agreement to fight in the UFC forthwith.
So imagine for a moment that a game streamer could no longer stream or had to suspend their stream because it was found out that this poor streamer was using a PC built by CyberPower, or Origin, or Digital Storm; and they violated Twitch policy because company policy clearly states that in order stream you must adhere to the company endorsement and be using a PC made by Acer or maybe even Apple; and this just steamrolls down the line. To what boom mics you can use, to what headsets can be used, what books livereader's are allowed to feature; all the way down to what chairs you are allowed to sit in should you even decide to continue live casting instead of Vcast.

They can’t fail because the government will always bail them out with our tax dollars. That isn’t the case with twitch. And Amazon doesn’t give the first shit about twitch either, the second twitch’s revenue drops below a particular percentage, Amazon will drop them like a rock

You know Charlie is serious when he leaves up the poney tale.
This is when we get another tv…set it behind the streamer and let it play the ad. If twitch has something to say you let them know that the tv is part of the sponsored package deal and their policy says you’re allowed to have the physical sponsored content behind you during stream.

Twitch ads are arguably worse, though, that shit is getting close to Free-Tv ad breaks already, its only a matter of time
Twitch: We're sorry it was too confusing and causing you to misunderstand us.

Because they backpedaled on the policy update they aren't doing it anymore that's why they are still alive.
If you really think hundreds and thousands of streamers wouldn't leave as soon as they could your a spastic
I genuinely can't imagine how Twitch is this out of touch with its user base. There has to have been thousands of videos with millions of views talking about how top streamers are leaving and all of these policies are garbage yet they still refuse to change course at all. They will be shutting down with no revenue and simply won't know why. Truly a ship with no captain.
They aren't out of touch, I don't think. They understand what this will do. They're just trying to call everyone's bluff and don't think they'll leave. And if they leave, they're convinced that all the fans will stay.
Let them cook bro 💀
@@adaenis Well, then they ARE out of touch, because they clearly have no capacity for understanding that big streamers are already leaving, or contemplating leaving, and that many of them already have their feet deep into other platforms. Charlie will have absolutely no problem migrating to TH-cam, he uploads TH-cam videos twice a day, gets millions of views every week, and has a firmly established presence on this platform. If he can dodge TH-cam's bullshit, and if the money's good, he will not skip a beat transitioning to TH-cam. He already has a VOD channel, all he needs is a new layout, and he's good to go.
I think if Twitch goes ahead with enforcing this decision, they will be sorely disappointed by how off the mark they are on this.
They’re preparing for a dystopian future. Making changes now. It will be considered normal in 15 years.
The constant ads, sponsorships and the types of streamers those things appeal to are what ruined it in the first place.
Company: "we will do this for this reason."
Company 1 hour later: "Everyone misinterpreted our admittedly unclear message."

yeah what the fuck has been happening in the last 5 years. has every company CEO had a recent blow to the fucking head? it seems like theyre just making the most retarded decisions
This one is especially wild because it's exactly the OPPOSITE kind of stupid that every other company is doing. Twitch is forcing you to not do ads, and everywhere else is forcing you to see as many giant ads as possible.
So twitch will force us to watch 6 non skippable ads and cut everyones pay, but if a creator gets a sponsor ad read thats the boogie man?
Twitch will literally pimp out every single creator unless they don't get a slice of their pie I guess, and if thats the case their response is to ban the pie.
Another AWFUL change they slipped under the rug was the ability to multi-stream for non partners/affiliates. If you want to stream on twitch in ANY capacity, you are bounded to that site and that site only.
TH-cam, Kick and Rumble do not have this policy, so now aspiring streamers have to choose between simultaneously streaming on 3 different platforms all on the upswing, or shackle themselves to Twitch as the boat hits iceberg after iceberg.

They're counting on the negative response being disjointed rather than organized. It's just the platform version of cutting shifts and benefits and expecting the wage slaves to pick up the extra slack for no extra pay.
the answer is pretty simple. those tech companies, including youtube are Not profitable in the first place and may loose far more money then they make. they basically survive on investment money. so they have to make crappy changes or promote politics to make money somehow.
Its because corporations have ideology and that ideology is what pushes these decisions
I like to imagine the one guy walked in the meeting room and was like GUYS WHAT IF WE DID JUST ALL THE BAD IDEAS WEVE EVER HAD and then people just agreed and rolled with it
Twitch is like a restaurant owner that underpays their empoyees and tells them to make it up with tips but then takes 90% of the tips too.
Sounds like that one restaurant from kitchen nightmares
It’s dumb that people get paid to play video games in the first place
@@randomdude189 found the gen X argument
@@randomdude189 You sound mad that you can't get payed for doing the things you like.
@@randomdude189There are people that kick a ball everyday and get paid more in 1 week than a normal human being earns in their entire life. And u complain that people get paid for playing videogames? Damn
I wish i knew how to code id make a better version of twitch. With the heart and passion for the streamers... i think the adds would bring in enough
Don't forget all those raid shadow legends ads as well
God I’m so sick of greedy corporations. This has to stop.
the gov LOVES greedy corporations bc thats who pays them
Stop using it
It's called socialism (which kills less than capitalism does in just 5 years, look it up)
I agree.
@@pauljerome01 good point
Whoever wrote this poor 'apology' tweet is clearly a professional youtuber
Twitch has made a severe and continuous lapse in its judgement
@@jeez5735HAHAHAHAH
Seen so many corporate fake apologies use "Missed the mark". It's really the new corporate buzz phrase for "We pissed off everyone, but we don't care, and we don't want to acknowledge any real wrongdoing."
@@JohnSmith-xv1tp "missed the mark" means they failed to confuse you hard enough. Good thing the apology itself still confuses people so somehow they continue using twitch despite it being shit for nearly a decade now.
To be honest, TH-cam might be cringe at times, but I think it's safer to stream here than on Twitch with all their shitty rules. At least you can say "blind gameplay" on YT. LOL
Do you think sponsors will void contracts because streamers can't follow their exact guidelines or do you think the contracts will be revised?
at this point twitch and TH-cam are in a battle to see who can be the stupidest with new policies
This is happening at the same time as Reddit cracking down on third party clients. Just plain old corporate greed ruining these platforms. Don't know if an alternative will become available.
The alternatives are already available. They've been for years. But people will still stay on Twitch, Reddit etc. because that's where the money and force of habit stays. People will stay on those sites even if those corporations send people to their house to break their kneecaps.
THETA
@@0verWay The reality is we use Reddit because it is where the users are. Going anywhere else, you will not find the userbase. Bill gates is not going to do an ask me anything on some random website, the reality is that the users of Reddit are the goldmine that we go there for.
Not really. People who use 3rd party apps are in the minority. The problem is reddit is removing freedom to customize(which alot of people dont care about). And the possibility of more ads(imo what the majority is concerned about). Honestly i've tried other 3rd party apps and reddit is just easier to use. Ads are easy to scroll past and ignore anyway(unlike on youtube and other platforms).
Twitch changes is much worse because it changes the whole way how streamers monetize. The most affected from the new rules are the biggest streamers, and their big fanbases aren't happy about it too.
Oh itll be available once their stocks plummet and they start regretting drinking dumb fuq juice
