This is actually good. Twitch has become just as anti-consumer as Reddit ever since Mixer shut down.

A big similarity being Twitch and Reddit don't create the content, they rely on users of the platform. Hope this becomes a message that users can't be expendable

Is it? Alternatives are always great but everyone is saying kick is shady.

But Kick is pretty shady itself.
