Streamers should make nothing at all, like the old days when streams were actually good. I hate how your hobby is now socially expected to be an earner, so that your boss can pay you less and your landlord can charge you more.

All the ~calls to action~ and paid-for viewer engagement instantly turn a stream to poo poo.

Obviously the market completely disagrees...

Hey it's okay all the top streamers (and let's face it, any streamer with more than 50 followers) is guaranteed to be a child grooming monster or white nationalist or both so maybe Twitch burning will return us to simpler times where these people did not have easy access to children and their money though probably not because people who run social media sites see profit where others see exploitation of vulnerable people

Not people doing actual work.

they're not mutually exclusive you know.

without those entertainers twitch wouldn't make that money, so most of it should go to them. that doesn't preclude people that do "actual work" from also being deserving of more money.

And without Twitch and its cadre of engineers, those entertainers wouldn't make any money, either. Sounds like Twitch should get most of the money for providing an attractive platform. If the entertainers don't like it, they can go stream on Mixer.

yeah i'm sure all the money would go to those engineers if twitch didn't have to pay the streamers, and not the pockets of the executives.

Better to have a nonphysical password that's usually shared across multiple accounts without any additional security. Love your dipshit sarcasm, though. Please tell me more about how ignorant you are about security in the thread about breached security, Einstein.
