    Well, yes… there’s a lot of brainrot and useless content there, but also a lot of fond memories for people. Not all streamers are made equal. You’re also forcing all the GDQs, esport tournaments and all the individual moments from over the years to find a new hosting source…most likely youtube… whose monopoly we’re also trying to get away from. (at least I hope they can download and upload somewhere else, because if not…)

      Again, server space and app stores are the new feuds of the modern feudal lord. The sooner all that dies and we can rebuild a decentralised model, the better. It’s a shame for the fond memories, however, how pathetic one’s life has to be that its fond memories are on Twitch surrounded by ads for gfuel and hello fresh…

        How pathetic does one need to be to only have surface experience of something before they decide to judge it and insult people over enjoying aspects of it… You’re literally wasting your time on the internet belittling someone else’s life… how is that not pathetic?

          Cry me a river. It will still disappear and the overwhelming majority of people won’t miss it. Next time don’t rely on digital feuds to store your fond memories.

          Smash that subscribe button and don’t forget to buy some gfuel using the code imaregard, it will make you more alert and better at your video games. Afterwards you can jump to our friend streamer who’s selling shit to kids from an inflatable pool while wearing only a bikini. Such fond memories.

            I’ve watched under an hour of twitch streams in my entire life and even I know your opinion is ignorant

            You made up your mind years ago after seeing a couple of shitty streamers. Did you even form the opinion yourself or was it based on a reddit thread?

                The only “streamer” I’ve watched is Emily Hopkins playing harp.

                I’d suggest that you check it out but the community is really nice and I don’t think you’d fit in

            The only one crying here is you, dude. Try to find joy in something less negative, maybe? Forgive whoever hurt you and move on, this is just sad.

              Lol, twitch is pure cancer, the less of it exists the better. Youtube for all its flaws has redeeming qualities. Twitch is capitalising on primitive voyeurism and is another nail in the coffin of western civilisation. I look forward to the deletion.

                Just… please, stop hating on stuff that doesn’t concern you and focus on spreading positivity, man. That’s what’s gonna make the world a better place. Not hoping that stuff you don’t like and understand will fail. You’re just bringing yourself down.

                  No it isn’t. What will make the world a better place is the death of twitch and youtube and the replacement and proliferation of decentralised services like peertube. Twitch is one of the feuds of the oligarchy and deserves do be forgotten, permanently. For every cent made on twitch the CPAC got funds to elect people like Trump.

                    I’d love a future where everything is decentralized and federated. But in the here and now, it’s just not pragmatically feasible for any independent non-commercial service to challenge the sheer amount of bandwidth and infrastructure a service like Twitch needs. Look at how many competitors have already tried to take on Twitch and failed miserably, and those were commercial startups with VC money.

                    Furthermore, even in the utopian future where ActivityPub streaming takes over, I still wouldn’t want all this history to be lost. Like this is such a devastating blow to speedrun.com leaderboards, for example, so many records will now be dead links.
