First thing I thought. Take the money and run. Cash in the shares before they tank etc. If you need 50/50 maybe it's not just greed but necessity. Besides I've heard what advertisers are prepared to pay to all SM is way down too so they could need more ads to make the same money. Something's off.
Eh...more often your own fuck ups. But your fuck ups are bad enough the company doesn't want it to be public. So they pay off whoever is gonna report and who did it. Keeps the company name out the news. Tbh the number of nasty creeps getting golden handshakes to leave, instead of dragging the company through court and the press, is sad.

I'm convinced this man didn't even know he was a CEO for twitch and when he found out he immediately left Holy shit I commented that before hearing his joke leave me alone
Actually I kinda admire how he acts. I’d hate for my job to be my entire life, so I think it’s kinda cool that he doesn’t use his social media like “hey I’m the CEO and that’s my entire identity”
Yeah there's a problem with that, its one thing to not ket your company take dove your life, its another to never mention it, if the CEO isnt celevrating his own company at least at milestones or great achievements then why would investors care about it when the ceo shows that he doesnt? Its healthy to seperate professional and personal lives and keep them balanced so neither one consumes you, emmet went too far in favour of his personal life, meaning his company to suffer
Charlie actually held the ex CEO at gunpoint in his moist robe with his rifle and forced him to sign a resignation document. Charlie really is a great guy looking out for the community!

This is a problem with a lot of companies, they are out of touch with what their company does, they are primarily focused on pleasing shareholders and maximizing profit than pleasing the people who actually use the service which might actually be better in the long term but in the business world short term profits are what matters above all.
@@justinian1226 How is that "Clueless" if people enjoy using the service it will attract more users and people to the platform because the owners understand their wants and concerns. And the more users there are the more revenue they gain in the long run.

Emmett Shear is so memorable for being the CEO. Remember that one time where he did the CEO thing and everyone Twitched all over? Good times... He will be dearly missed 🙏
Remember that time _Emmett Shear_ stole justins television set & coined the classic zinger *"is twitchin' time"* & everybody smiled & shed a single tear
I think websites like Twitch are failing to realize that any one of these awful decisions could send content creators to a new one. There are a lot of streaming and video sharing services now and even though none are as big as Twitch or TH-cam, it’s important to remember that the content creators are what make it big in the first place
Twitch and TH-cam take for granted that no other platform is as viable as they are currently so they can risk making a lot of poor decisions or developing slowly. As soon as they have real competition that doesn't fold within a year (Mixer), maybe that'll change.
@cajah88 mixer folded because it was getting no use and was barebones comparitevely, I enjoyed the completion and now twitch just does whatever tf they want
A responsible CEO knows the value of just _not_ being 'known'. Possibly they can try to be the face of their brand. But default is focus on business operations, let the PR people handle the public facing part.
I honestly have chose Twitch as my platform for my streams over the last 10+ years. This last year they pushed me away as both a content creator and a viewer. I no longer watch streams at all and I am looking to move to another platform as a creator. It is so sad to see how horrible things have gone.
With Elon buying Twitter and both the CEOs of TH-cam and Twitch stepping down, it feels like social media is going through some sort of large reset.... for better or worse.... probably worse.
@wintereclipse3263 you didn't have account security in the first place. Now you can buy it. Lol. And who needs moderation? You see something you don't like, you scroll past it. Easy as that
@@wintereclipse3263 You misspelled better. Since Elon Buying Twitter you have more freedom of speech and the fact checking has become community sourced which is far more reliable.
My wild theory is both of them being pushed by all of their own investors and shareholders to push more monetization to the platform, they have zero way to say "no", and they know that the platform will fall and they will be the one to blame for it. Both chose to flee the ship before it sink in the deep sea of monetization, nfts and inequality of payments.
Honest to God, why doesn't TH-cam/Twitch hire content creators for these positions? If anyone would know how to keep the content creators happy, it would be them.
Twitch wouldn't even be a popular platform if the streamers didn't take the time to create the content, making their platform self-sustaining on the hard work of someone elses labor. They dont have to look for people to host content on their sight, they dont have help produce the content, they dont even have push the content, they dont even need to advertise their platform. Everyone else does the work to keep the platform a float, all they have to do to maintain the platform and keep it up and running.
All that takes staff, server storage costs, security for protection of data (like identities/financial info) and plant and equipment. People seem to think because they can operate from their bedrooms so can companies. Without infrastructure, none of it works which is why people rely on places like YT, Twitch et al to do the back end work. The way the internet works people could do it all without them and run their sites themselves. But few want to do the work involved or expend the funds. That's what they pay these platforms for, even if they're paying too much. It's still their choice.
@@b1nary_f1nary then they’re okay with the way they’re treated. People need to act on stuff like that. Imagine if most streamers switched to YT after the news. Twitch would have to fix issues. Only action can affect it, not complaints.
Charlie, nothing you educate me on was I previously aware of. I am so far out of the drama loop, so I thank you good sir for keeping me up to date on all the juicy dirt
Hey Charlie, I work as a Social Media Analyst for a big company and just wanted to clarify that most companies don’t use the platform Twitter/IG/Facebook etc. to access the comments, they usually use a platform that integrate thorough API’s to these platforms and can access all the data though a query based research. It is likely that Twitch has a team responsible for collecting and showcasing the community feedback for the higher ups though this process, but it’s not everyone who value these information and many decide to just ignore and do whatever they want. ps: if moist company ever needs someone for that role, hit me up, I can give more insight on my role and my expertises.
My thoughts are that Dan is going to be the "fall guy". I think Twitch, and a lot of companies, are going to go through a tough time the next year or so and Twitch is going to have to make a few unpopular decisions. They're going to stick these to Dan and then he's going to step away or retire which the community will praise but the unpopular decisions will not be reversed.
idk if they reversed it at some point, but when they made it so you have to subscribe to each individual channel to not see ads on that channel, rather than paying for some overall twitch subscription to stop ads, is when I bailed. I just watch the vods ad free on youtube these days
Susan’s experience in running a massive tech company: Letting would be Tech giants use her garage during the early years. The perfect person to run a massive company. Someone who had a future gold mine fall into her lap. 😂
A CEO this silent and invisible is the mark of liability. If they cannot talk about the platform, reach out to the streamers, listen or be involved in any way, then what are they doing? Aside from siphoning revenue
Maybe Shear just doesn't engage much with social media? A work life balance is an important thing and the fact that he can be the CEO of something like Twitch and go home to be a family man rather than be all consumed by it is a good thing in my eyes. I'd imagine that being switched on and talking about his work 24/7 might get very dry for those who know him personally, either that or it could be an effect of their PR department?
But to never celebrate anything about it or mention it on your social media? I mean you should occasionally mention the company if you're proud of it every decade or so.
@@johnolsen8772 well you'd think he'd at least post if they were doing Twitchcon or some other big event. I have posted when my company's have done celebrations or big trips. I just feel they're completely out of touch with the users and social media in general.
I wanna be hopeful, obviously. But as someone who is suffering at every cost right now to get my name out there, this just hurts. Everything is so out of focus for these people, and it almost is obvious that they are money hungry. TH-cam doing all of this stuff with there platform with no regard to any creator, than this with Twitch. I feel bad for content creators. I feel bad for aspiring ones. I just hope in the future there is positives, because right now, my hope is ever so losing its grasp. Thank you Charlie for giving us this news, and continuing to keep everyone updated with as much as you can. And to anyone who did in fact read this, hopefully things get better...
My advice to you is post more consistently on TH-cam. You’ll learn as you go what works and what doesn’t. Twitch is great after you’ve already built an audience. Otherwise Twitch has ZERO discoverability and there are thousands of people doing the exact same thing you’re doing and the people who are already getting views will get the majority of the attention. I recommend getting an Instagram and reaching out to communities and the best advice I can give you is to not give up if this really is your dream. Good luck
As much crap as people rightfully give Twitch I genuinely hope they can hold a spot as a competitor in the space for the sake of the people who have full time jobs but also healthy competition with TH-cam.
This could be a classic case of “if it didn’t happen on Twitter it didn’t happen at all”. This man could be busting his ass off behind the scenes but because he doesn’t make weekly Twitter posts it didn’t happen 😂.
this is crazy for me aswell. just a couple weeks ago our company CEO and 3 other big wigs were "no longer working with us" CEOs seem to dropping like flies everywhere. this was also the 2nd or 3rd CEO we have had in 4 years. looks like that job isnt so essential to the board lol
My friend actually met him once in Belgium (Bruges) at a café and he talked about twitch with him very openly and even gave him a twitch business card (photos for proof). It just seems like he doesn’t talk about it when it comes to social media or the general public. Even though my mate said he was chill i do still agree that it’s bad to be out of touch with the community.
Let's be real; we all know what's going to happen. Nothing will change or things will get worse. Anytime a lead role from a multibillionaire company steps down, they're replaced by someone who's the exact person or helped create the platform we have today. The only way things will change is if the entire executive board gets wiped out.
I will say that as a hair dresser people were shocked I wasn’t promoting my business all the time and doing hair at home. The fact is I liked to keep my house and my profession separate. I’ve not ever wanted my clients to know where I live.
It's not only ceos it's also creative directors to. For context, a game studio called playground games had one of their creative directors leave to company plus some of the team as well. To be honest I think this year is gonna be ceo/creative director leave company year.
Man I've been saying for years that these corporate companies are in trouble if the echo chamber doesn't end! They fact that they stick with an internal hire may be the nail in the coffin for them!
Charlie can’t help admire your ability to swiftly deliver accurate news, the only possible way to improve is to fix the askew GOSLAP poster in the back ground. Thank you stay moist. 💖
Forcing people to run adds is like forcing your serving staff to "Engage more with the customers" Has no effect, and makes the person doing it feel like shit lmao
Regardless of the reason, it makes sense to step down as this is not the same company it was. Twitch is not the same company. I feel like Twitch was once just like a lot of place on the internet a place smart people created to connect with other on their interests, belong and escape the very people that eventually come along like "Nice shit you got here nerds" and take it over. Now Twitch is just full of normies and would-be cam girls pretending to care about anime and games to farm viewers.
I've just now noticed that bottom right god slap poster and it's driving me crazy lol. Also, it'll be ingesting to see how things go at twitch, especially in comparison to how things will go at youtube with the new ceo
With people like Emmett and Dan being so out of touch with Twitch that the CEO himself wasn't known because of never mentioning his status, it's no wonder that this platform is at a very low point to survive.
He could have at least given us a goodbye hot tub stream before leaving 😢

Without infrastructure, none of it works which is why people rely on places like YT, Twitch et al to do the back end work. The way the internet works people could do it all without them and run their sites themselves. But few want to do the work involved or expend the funds. That's what they pay these platforms for, even if they're paying too much. It's still their choice.
Well, no one is taken hostile at Twitch. You can just switch platforms and put all of that miraculous input you’ve mentioned. Hope that helps.
@@b1nary_f1nary then they’re okay with the way they’re treated. People need to act on stuff like that. Imagine if most streamers switched to YT after the news. Twitch would have to fix issues. Only action can affect it, not complaints.
Gotta love those 8 ads, especially their rpg earrape one. Classic.
Charlie, nothing you educate me on was I previously aware of. I am so far out of the drama loop, so I thank you good sir for keeping me up to date on all the juicy dirt
This is like the equivalent of sneezing on your food and then leaving the restaurant
Hey Charlie, I work as a Social Media Analyst for a big company and just wanted to clarify that most companies don’t use the platform Twitter/IG/Facebook etc. to access the comments, they usually use a platform that integrate thorough API’s to these platforms and can access all the data though a query based research. It is likely that Twitch has a team responsible for collecting and showcasing the community feedback for the higher ups though this process, but it’s not everyone who value these information and many decide to just ignore and do whatever they want.
ps: if moist company ever needs someone for that role, hit me up, I can give more insight on my role and my expertises.
Being involved in drama clubs in high school actually makes him a perfect candidate, because 90% of twitch nowadays is just highschool drama.
My thoughts are that Dan is going to be the "fall guy". I think Twitch, and a lot of companies, are going to go through a tough time the next year or so and Twitch is going to have to make a few unpopular decisions. They're going to stick these to Dan and then he's going to step away or retire which the community will praise but the unpopular decisions will not be reversed.
makes me think of what wizards of the coast tried to pull. Threw a dude who was only there for three months under the bus

@@RomanticoutlawLuckily we're not actually stupid, so most people continue to blame the companies. We just can't do much about it.
As an Olive Garden Employee, I can confirm that we have a microwave
Thanks for confirming. Couldn’t sleep until I knew if it was accurate.
The amount of times I've clicked onto a twitch stream and seen "Ad 1 of 6" and just... closed twitch for the day is just sad. Great job Dan!
idk if they reversed it at some point, but when they made it so you have to subscribe to each individual channel to not see ads on that channel, rather than paying for some overall twitch subscription to stop ads, is when I bailed. I just watch the vods ad free on youtube these days
Susan’s experience in running a massive tech company: Letting would be Tech giants use her garage during the early years. The perfect person to run a massive company. Someone who had a future gold mine fall into her lap. 😂
A CEO this silent and invisible is the mark of liability. If they cannot talk about the platform, reach out to the streamers, listen or be involved in any way, then what are they doing? Aside from siphoning revenue
You aren’t exactly wrong either.
Maybe Shear just doesn't engage much with social media? A work life balance is an important thing and the fact that he can be the CEO of something like Twitch and go home to be a family man rather than be all consumed by it is a good thing in my eyes. I'd imagine that being switched on and talking about his work 24/7 might get very dry for those who know him personally, either that or it could be an effect of their PR department?
But to never celebrate anything about it or mention it on your social media? I mean you should occasionally mention the company if you're proud of it every decade or so.
@David maybe, I haven't been a CEO but I have enjoyed most places I've worked and still never posted anything about them, have you?
@@johnolsen8772 well you'd think he'd at least post if they were doing Twitchcon or some other big event. I have posted when my company's have done celebrations or big trips. I just feel they're completely out of touch with the users and social media in general.

I wanna be hopeful, obviously. But as someone who is suffering at every cost right now to get my name out there, this just hurts. Everything is so out of focus for these people, and it almost is obvious that they are money hungry. TH-cam doing all of this stuff with there platform with no regard to any creator, than this with Twitch. I feel bad for content creators. I feel bad for aspiring ones. I just hope in the future there is positives, because right now, my hope is ever so losing its grasp.
Thank you Charlie for giving us this news, and continuing to keep everyone updated with as much as you can. And to anyone who did in fact read this, hopefully things get better...
My advice to you is post more consistently on TH-cam. You’ll learn as you go what works and what doesn’t.
Twitch is great after you’ve already built an audience. Otherwise Twitch has ZERO discoverability and there are thousands of people doing the exact same thing you’re doing and the people who are already getting views will get the majority of the attention.
I recommend getting an Instagram and reaching out to communities and the best advice I can give you is to not give up if this really is your dream. Good luck
Its good to be optimistic but cautious, remember no matter how bad things have been it could always get worse.
Thanks kidnamedfinger.
As much crap as people rightfully give Twitch I genuinely hope they can hold a spot as a competitor in the space for the sake of the people who have full time jobs but also healthy competition with TH-cam.
7:57 aight bois looks like we get a new charlie meme
Man Charlie is the only person on TH-cam that speaks damn near monotone but expresses so much without changing that tone very much.
This could be a classic case of “if it didn’t happen on Twitter it didn’t happen at all”. This man could be busting his ass off behind the scenes but because he doesn’t make weekly Twitter posts it didn’t happen 😂.
this is crazy for me aswell. just a couple weeks ago our company CEO and 3 other big wigs were "no longer working with us" CEOs seem to dropping like flies everywhere. this was also the 2nd or 3rd CEO we have had in 4 years. looks like that job isnt so essential to the board lol
My friend actually met him once in Belgium (Bruges) at a café and he talked about twitch with him very openly and even gave him a twitch business card (photos for proof). It just seems like he doesn’t talk about it when it comes to social media or the general public. Even though my mate said he was chill i do still agree that it’s bad to be out of touch with the community.
Charlie is secretly taking all the CEO’s down so he can take over all the platforms… I see you Charlie…I see you….
0:23 every executive in the room playing hot potato with it
Hopefully things will change for the better after all the bad stuff going on
Damn bots🙄
Probably not. These platforms are known for being shitty for a reason.
This means free speech is about to go bye bye on these platforms.
I hope the new CEO is even more woke
Let's be real; we all know what's going to happen. Nothing will change or things will get worse. Anytime a lead role from a multibillionaire company steps down, they're replaced by someone who's the exact person or helped create the platform we have today.
The only way things will change is if the entire executive board gets wiped out.
I will say that as a hair dresser people were shocked I wasn’t promoting my business all the time and doing hair at home.
The fact is I liked to keep my house and my profession separate. I’ve not ever wanted my clients to know where I live.
It's not only ceos it's also creative directors to. For context, a game studio called playground games had one of their creative directors leave to company plus some of the team as well. To be honest I think this year is gonna be ceo/creative director leave company year.
Man I've been saying for years that these corporate companies are in trouble if the echo chamber doesn't end! They fact that they stick with an internal hire may be the nail in the coffin for them!
yooo, fix the poster in the back
…
The best way I can put it” For every action , There is an EQUAL and opposite reaction”! STAY TUNED!!! 🍁 10:56
Charlie can’t help admire your ability to swiftly deliver accurate news, the only possible way to improve is to fix the askew GOSLAP poster in the back ground. Thank you stay moist. 💖
oh god, now i'll never unsee it
@@MB-ev9ix join me friend, if enough of us band together we can make a change
aight charlie time to step up
fr
Forcing people to run adds is like forcing your serving staff to "Engage more with the customers" Has no effect, and makes the person doing it feel like shit lmao
Granted the CEO isn't an absolute monarchy but seriously how do you let things get THAT bad?
Thought that said Twitter for a brief moment.
*My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.*
The UFO’s 😭
i never seen charlie edit so much of his excitement, you can see on the frames unedited that he was so happy saying things we will never hear :(
Am i dyslexic or do i not get this
@ssesse4267 You're not alone, i don't get it either
@@ssesse4267 YES
So many heinous situations happened on Twitch all because the CEO didn't know he's the CEO of a major live streaming platform.
When he first said Dan Clancy, ads started and for some reason it was so cinematic, that I couldn't wait to hear about him
sneako constantly complaining on twitter while charlie just lives life 😂😂😂
Regardless of the reason, it makes sense to step down as this is not the same company it was. Twitch is not the same company. I feel like Twitch was once just like a lot of place on the internet a place smart people created to connect with other on their interests, belong and escape the very people that eventually come along like "Nice shit you got here nerds" and take it over. Now Twitch is just full of normies and would-be cam girls pretending to care about anime and games to farm viewers.
What streamers are you referring to? I mean a lot of people like anime and games, you think everyone on twitch is just pretending?
Emmet Shear is that one guy who just lurks and stays silent in the group chat
Truly a moment of all time
Don't care read my name LOL, my content is better
Maybe twitch can survive now.
Nvm just saw who’s the new ceo this company is screwed.
Maybe
Bruh so many bots
ye Twitch is hella fucked
I've just now noticed that bottom right god slap poster and it's driving me crazy lol.
Also, it'll be ingesting to see how things go at twitch, especially in comparison to how things will go at youtube with the new ceo
He probably thought that he already stepped down but he just remembered he didnt
I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. He did good and bad for the company.
Only time will tell if his successor will be better
Bad thing.
Remember, it's always morally correct to use an adblock for companies like twitch.
With people like Emmett and Dan being so out of touch with Twitch that the CEO himself wasn't known because of never mentioning his status, it's no wonder that this platform is at a very low point to survive.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of the CEO, and it’s when he’s stepping down.
Me two
Twitch and TH-cam are still locked in a competition to see who can run their platform into the ground first.
He is the perfect man to squeeze streamers and workers while increasing profits at all costs.
First TH-cam and now Twitch? Maybe things won’t be that bad moving forward.
Never mind…. The new head is a dumbass too 😭😭
Tf i already get 12 unskippable adds
damn why is every ceo leaving
😂😂😂I don’t know. But I’m loving it
Idk bruh
First Susan and now them
Because they obviously sick at their jobs
Collapse of the dollar system
he finally remembered he was the CEO of twitch 🥺❤
1:27 I was scratching my head when you said ceo of twitch
Didn't know they had one
Let’s hope the new CEO does not screw up
Don’t hope too much. Twitch is known to be full of incompetent employees. 😬😬😬😬
He already has
Screwing up more than it already is? The next step would be straight up closing the platform
PENGUINZ0 COMMENTED ON MY NEWEST VIDEO WITH PROOF!!!
Don't worry he will.
Twitch CEO: _See's TH-cam CEO step down_
"Wait, I can do that?"
