    Twitch still has critical mass. YT Streaming is still horrible, Kick is a giant advertisement for Stake and Mixer died years ago.

    As long as they can find a way to milk more money out of users they’ll stay around.

      Youre looking at this from the perspective of the consumer, not the business side.

      I dont disagree at all that YT streaming is not up to par with Twitch.

      But theres no immutable law that says ‘there must be an easy to use internet video streaming site.’

      I think that Amazon shifting toward Twitch needing to be more soley responsible for its own profitability will reduce its growth in user count, and eventually, as with so, so many other online websites with huge upkeep expenses but very little income stream… this will inevitably lead to death of the service/site.

      I could be wrong about the amount the growth slows down by, but yeah I certainly wouldnt expect Twitch to be around, at least not without huge amounts of monetization compared to what there is now, in 5 years.
