Twitch streamers are getting as bad as youtubers about their whining.

Considering most YouTubers are 100% in the right when they're complaining because YouTube as a whole is a massive dumpster fire, your comparison just makes me assume that Twitch is also fucking up left, right, and center, not that the streamers are the problem.

Personally, I assumed we were probably see more Twitch fuckery going on soon as the news came out that Mixer crashed and burned, because it left Twitch in a position of greater power in regards to the users ("Well, where else are you going to go? Ha ha, fuckers!"). Stories like this coming out now just sort of underline that for me.

If they wouldn't touch him because he was making money, pulling viewers, and they didn't want to risk losing him to a rival platform (and helping legitimize that competition and potentially screwing Twitch over), but the moment they feel confident that competition is no longer a threat they're willing to whip their dick out and start swinging it around, it shows pretty clearly that the whole thing is just a scummy business move rather than anything motivated by actual decency, ethics, or morals.

I suspect they'll cut a lot more borderline cases soon, and we'll see them close ranks once again the next time someone tries to push an alternative streaming platform.
