Game Theory: Dear Twitch, Grow Up!
* In this episode we made mistakes when referring to certain streamers and the DMCA takedown notices. Hassan’s takedown was fake and Disguised Toast staged his takedown. We also made an error when suggesting that Twitch legitimize the TV Meta using Amazon Prime, not realizing Prime Watch Parties are a thing. We want to apologize for wrongly portraying parts of the situation and we hope that the sentiment can still shine through and raise awareness in-spite of our mistakes. *

Twitch is an interesting platform. Watching it grow feels very reminiscent of YouTube back in the day. So I guess that means I need to talk about it. Lately there’s been a bunch of talk around people like Pokimane being banned or Ludwig getting into copyright trouble by switching over to YouTube. Theorists, it’s time for old man MatPat to give some advice to the new wave of creators. Let’s go!
And don’t forget to check out @Ludwig!

It is interesting to think that Twitch brought it on themselves a wee bit by making contracted streamers hit huge amounts of stream hours as opposed to making the hours more flexible to allow for more unique, shorter content. Streamers with paid deals make up a tiny portion of the overall number of streamers but a higher % of them have opted to do this “react to TV shows” type of thing, probably because it’s easy and fills those hours up
How many bots are there!

At least twitch tries to, you know, help creators with policy issues properly.
YouTube can’t even provide proper transparent explanations for how their guidelines work or properly roll out copyright issues.
yes but theyre not really that great on that front either. a streamer i watch, sneegsnag, played a small amount of a greenday song on a stream 2+ years ago and he got a DMCA strike. the vod being over 2 years old was obviously already deleted and they gave him no way to undo it. meanwhile some of his friend get away with much MUCH more DMCA-able music on stream.
@Commie Dog42 yup. Small creator on YT was being shunted by the system, all videos got age-restricted when they shouldn’t have. Her videos were recently unrestricted after she and her community reached out. It’s a small community. I don’t see Twitch doing anything for small streamers.
@trance peirce True lmao, they’re somehow both worse than each other
Bro what are you saying, atleast youtube treats large and tiny channels equally trash. Twitch have a handful of multimillionaires that they treat like gods while EVERYONE else is just gum on the bottom of their boots
Thank you
Let’s be real, until twitch actually has fair and consistent rules on what content is ok (ie. not favoring bigger channels with flexibility smaller channels don’t get), I don’t ever see twitch “growing up”.
@Linda B Carpenter Sings yeah that’s just how this will always work. They make them the most money ofcourse they’ll do all they can to keep them.
To be fair this is still the case with YouTube as well anyhow, like huge creators get more leeway, but not as extreme as twitch

Just Dont miss this :]
I like how a lot of big streamers have broken the rules and haven’t been “permabanned” while smaller Twitch streamers get permabanned when they slip up once.
@princess brennyn I mean, women do tend to bring in more viewers and dono’s than the average man. All the simps that are out there are proof.
twitch gotta get that publicity money, it’s an Amazon company after all
@Jonhnny Ringo
Wow, poki is the most masculine man ever because only men get banned! /s
Thats because bigger streamers make twich bigger bucks, so more leqay
@D V Ur blind to how Twitch works. He’s definitely right, Twitch favors women streamers way more than men streamers and Twitch will let the female streamers get away w ALOT
I can’t wait for all the big streamers to react to this video and somehow miss the point of it
Xqc already did

Honestly I prefer a world where streamers can react to videos and listen to music while playing a game. It honestly makes a better stream giving us better content
me too, it’s way better but sadly we have seen that it won’t ever work
https://youtu.be/bxyu4hcgbvk
Agreed, but unfortunately that’s not going to fly with those companies
I prefer twitch here because the copyright detection is ruining some genuine content with false positives.
And yet their app is a pile of dukie
