#Twitch has gone full scam. Over the last year they've removed hosting, limited bandwidth for affiliates to 6k for their streams. They've cut down on the availability of viewer-side encoding, tech issues etc etc.

Now they've amended their terms and charge you $25 if you leave the site for another streaming platform. Well guess what, you'll find me on Trovo and Kick.

charging n paying reasonable amount (inc profit) to run their/any-other platform makes sense - beyond that nonsense - greedy corp.

Of course it does but over the last 1-2 years Twitch has done very little to support the growth of the people who create the content for their website.

They've limited the bitrate, they removed hosting, they charge 50% of all subs while not really supporting user growth and now they think they can charge you $25 if you decide to give up your affiliation with them... which was given to you for free.

Besides that Twitch simply amended the contracts / terms but there is no way to accept or reject said change of contract. That's pretty much illegal in every country.

There is taking your cut and then there is pure desperation to take other people's money to keep your platform online.

LOL funny yet accurate
