    I will never understand how Amazon hasn't shuttered Twitch yet. Dan Clancy is totally ok with his contracted streamers constantly live streaming terrorist training videos. I guess the adpocalypse only came for YouTube and never Twitch.

      no comment on the political bits, but the fact that 80% of twitch is streaming to themselves cant be cheap to run

      I do wish they would revamp their discoverability process

      For anyone who is curious btw: twitch will count you as your own viewer. So anyone with their own chat open in a browser (almost everyone so they can read it) will have that 1 viewer. Which is why the bottom of the distribution is so weird looking.

        ya it's why I have the default set to 0-5, theres weirdness in what twitch counts as a viewer

        Not that I can see. I think most on HN root for the underdog.
