A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Like, I understand Twitch has server operating costs and stuff, And they are owned by Amazon so its all a rounding figure anyway, But its CRAZY to me that these people refuse to pay or keep happy the people who are the SOLE source of content.
Twitch's ONLY content are the streamers on their site. Reddits ONLY content are people aggregating links and posting to their site... And yet these companies continue to just piss off their creators.
Im assuming its just because there is no viable alternative. You wanna stream? gotta do it there for views. Got the streamers over a barrel....
