Twitch Star XQC Signs $100 Million Deal With Rival Platform
(www.nytimes.com)
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.
Subcommunities on Beehaw:
This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
He can't stream on twitch anymore if he broadcasts on kick though. Twitch just changed their streamer eula to say you cannot stream to any other web based live streaming service while streaming to twitch.
Which in its own might be a reason for people swichtng to kick if they have a YouTube viewership as well.
Twitch also tightened down on sponsorship in streams last week with such strict rules that they backpedaled due to community response. Seeing the timing of this deal makes me wonder if both changes might have played a party in xqc's decision.
