Yeah. It’s turning into Instagram and tiktok, etc.

There’s certainly interesting stuff here and there. But more and more of it is just vapid, contemptible people with nothing to contribute to society looking for attention and money by catering directly to the attractors that work best on humans.

Hasn't Twitch always been that way? It's been my impression that streamers are a bit more nuttier compared to the average Instagram influencer or TikToker since most of them have to grind videogames while talking to their computer for 12 hours each day before being gaining enough of a following to set their own schedule.

You say, twitch is what it always was and why it gained popularity?

I am not even saying it is bad. Entertainment is something people want and need. But, it was literally that all the time.
