IS TWITCH GOING TOO FAR?
With the inclusion of IRL streaming of every second of every day is enough to drive a few content creators insane. I know personally that you need that day or two to yourself to refuel your battery from being overly cheerful all the time. A new atricle from Polygon “https://www.polygon.com/2017/1/16/14240224/twitch-irl-risks-dangers” explains just that. The need for IRL streaming while you eat, sleep, and do your daily routines could become a burden to a lot of streamers with a vast subscription base. It is going to drive streamers to want to leave the Twitch brand and find a platform that lets them do things more on their own time. One case being Tyler “Ninja” Blevins Along with Michael “ Shroud” Grzesiek who has officially moved away from the streaming platform to join on with a new company created by Microsoft called “Mixer” that is more about the gaming than the sad excuse known as Twitch streamers who stream themselves eating, watching movies or doing reaction videos like a lot of woman do nowadays. Twitch used to be the place to go when you wanted to watch a streamer actually play games and watch some of the best of the best play, now it has become a cesspool of scantily clad woman doing exercises, body painting, wearing next to nothing, eating and dancing around demanding that you pay them for their time even tho they are doing nothing that twitch was originally created for. By allowing these types of people on to the site and actually become the number one searches in Twitch, it has quickly become a “craptastic” place full of toxic and entitled people. When a company loses all of the morals and ideals that they had when they first started it quickly makes its way to the bottom of the barrel, and by letting a majority of the streamers who are their top streamers or their top earners continue as they are now, it will become the next PornHub or feting site. The people that have the biggest following in todays eyes on Twitch are these so called “Twitch Thots” that do lewd and more often than not sexual themed things in front of children and men alike demanding that you pay them because they say so. So in turn i have lost a lot of respect for Twitch and i for one will not be using it anymore. The option is yours but at least you have the knowledge now.
