Nah, it's time you guys stop being delusional. Vinny won't switch platforms and he's not as bothered by the teenage trannies as we are because quite frankly they're flooding his bank account with Twitch money for doing the funny. And what's a better life than getting paid for playing games and referencing stuff that mostly only the OG's of the Vinesauce community understand so it goes over anyone else's head? I've got a strong feeling that Vinny knows where the community's headed, but he's also aware of us older members being there and that's why he's still making his references that the new-ish community members don't understand. Reminds me of Joel's VineWrestle two days ago where we had Quario and what not as wrestlers and 80% of the chat went "????? who is that?" only for Joel to laugh/go "YEAAAH" at the ones who still remembered him.
So let's just leave them be. If Vinny wouldn't be aware of his situation, he wouldn't be so good at hiding any propaganda. But the money's apparently great, a day has 24 hours, and he basically gets to do whatever the fuck he wants for 18-20 hours a day and some 24 when he just doesn't feel like streaming but the money still rolls in. What's better than that?
I agree wholly. I forgot to mention in my old reply that I was only listing the possible alternatives, and that twitch isn't sinking right now, although some sites (like google trends or similarweb) shown that twitch was losing some users, but it's now slightly recovering from it, so it wouldn't make sense to change platform right now, I agree with you with that (that, and that twitch is technically the more superior platform, like Youtube is the more technically superior platform when it comes to video sharing).There are options, but the fact of the matter is they're not anywhere near as lucrative as Twitch. With the Amazon backing, Twitch is just the best choice - they have the most money making potential and a small semblance of job security thanks to the subscription system and things like bits and donations. Twitch as a platform isn't so bad, but it's obvious that whoever is behind the PR side of things is doing a piss poor job. They need a more detailed blanket rule regarding things like the usage of slurs/offensive content, because whatever they're using right now is doing fuck all. You can't just say "zero tolerance" and then let PewdiePie say the N-word for the 50th time that stream because of how much revenue he generates. (Does he stream on Twitch? I don't care; my point still stands.)
But that's all beside the point. Streamers like Vinny need fan interaction, and Twitch is the best service out there for real time streamer-viewer interactions and accessibility. That's the bottom line. He's not going to give up the money because of a few annoying people in chat. He's gonna bite the bullet and take it like a champ, and in a way, that's sort of respectable.
Although some people who've been monitoring that kind of data are now speculating\theorizing that this 'recovery' isn't going to last forever, nor it will fix twitch's losses (a portion of twitch userbase comes from Curse, since they bought it now those users get counted inside the twitch container), especially if they won't fix their shit (i.e.: camgirls having a special treatment).
They're starting to lose big names like Ninja (and while I don't like his content, I don't see why the Twitch staff had to be so childish about it), and this is probably just the beginning. Though, like you both said, with amazon backing them up, Twitch will probably find someone to sign contracts with, or will do some massive PR campaign, or something like that.
Still, I do hope they flip and die, I hate how they manage things and how bad they push some channels that agree with some of their narrative.
