Since its inception, Twitch has basically been the go-to place for streamers of all kinds. But now with the onslaught of competition, controversies, and now audacious upcoming policy changes, it might be time to ask: is the end of Twitch near?

What's your take on the new Twitch policies and the future of the platform?
Enjoyed my backlog of Rainbow Six Siege clips?
I always appreciate y'all coming by and I wish you a beautiful rest of the week
Girl you play Siege?
Jfc, they are just messing with peoples livelihood. I don't think Twitch is dead just yet; cuz youtube keeps shooting themselves on the foot, too. If youtube was better, tho… story would be different
As a viewer, it doesn't impact me much. I'll just follow my favorite streamers to whatever platform they want to call home. But should I ever take the plunge into streaming, Twitch would be dead to me. Won't be long until Twitch is just Hasan's Harem of Bikini Hot Tub streamers.
Love the video
All I can say about the end of twitch is:
BEGONE THOT!
Awesome video! 🙌 Twitch is shooting itself in the foot all the time.
How does this video only have 130views?
It's quick and logically explained, and we'll made you just earned yourself a sub!
F in the chat for Twitch, I'm sure they'll backpeddle & become a better platform (its Twitch so they won't)
Twitch is such a trash platform. With all the competition they have why do they create these stupid policies? Oh well its to their detriment. Great Video eh
Wow, how crappy, great video Bravo!
Sadly, for most streamers, Twitch still seems to be your best bet (aside from Tiktok in terms of viewer reach). I think that will change in time, but for smaller people , especially those without networks (which is most people) it has the best engagement per organic traffic, which is what you'll need to even get big enough (with a strong enough community) to have the luxury of moving effectively. Kick for example offers the best split, but it has so much drop off in every regard (except sometimes raw concurrent view count). So if you're a newer smaller streamer, I would start on Twitch and start making a life-raft for other platforms. Just my thoughts and experience, after talking to many streamers (of all sizes) about it.
Fucking so glad it not streaming on twitch anymore either. It was like BARELY worth it two years ago lol
Good riddance. Get a real job.
My wife streams her games on Twitch, however she was in the process of moving over to Kick when her PC exploded!
Well, from what I see of it, it seems like they just want a piece of the pie, like all the other platforms.
I'm so happy alternatives like Kick have showed up.
Twitch has been trash to me for years. I stopped using it years ago when it first started banning people for 'mean words', while keeping boring thots who abused their cats on stream (Alinity).
Twitches be crazy.
My few times of trying to watch on twitch were extremely bad and the ads popping up in the middle of stream, not to mention the app kept crashing, I don’t see how anyone could actually use that platform
So….everyone going back to DLive?
Good riddance. The playing favourites part where rules don't apply equally to everyone is the most obnoxious thing. Funnily enough the most memorable time i had in twitch was watching Totalbiscuit and Forcegaming learning the ropes of R6: Siege.
I might have paused at 25 seconds because I was looking at tattoos.
Just when I was going to start my hottub Twitch stream you tell me it's dead. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THIS WATER!?
I don't do anything on twitch. Account deleted!
