It seems that Amazon is going blind with its streaming platform lately. RingCraft, the Twitch-sponsored event, was a huge disaster, and the idea of cutting streamer revenue stuck like a kick in the real earring. Now Twitch alone is accessible in Chrome, Edge and Firefox browsers.
The Twitch platform has had a huge success in Europe and Latam to allow live broadcasts. The success is such that this community far exceeds the American community. Auronplay’s Ibai, Tortillaland and other events have catapulted the platform, which is digging its own grave.
All excuses are good to fuck up
The platform recently changed the income received by most streamers. The small streamers
If all that wasn’t enough, Tic now is only accessible browsers Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Browsers such as Opera or Safari, the browser used on Apple devices, are left out.

YouTube prowls like a shark
The truth is that lately big streamers like TheGrefg, Ibai or Auronplay, among others, are talking more and more about YouTube streaming. There had been talk for some time that YouTube would finalize a solution that would directly compete with Twitch. Even Xokas and Auronplay once said that they saw this solution from Google and that it could do a lot of damage to Twitch.
Google is a giant and when something comes between its eyebrows, it does not hesitate to put shovelfuls of money for its development. Chances are, big Twitch streamers already have some dizzying platform-switching deals on the table. As Twitch goes down and without brakes.
RingCraft was a total disaster, to the point that TheGrefg was forced to continue, despite the fact that after day one he wanted to postpone the event. It is also known that they did not support Ibai with La Velada and other events he organized. While YouTube would be happy to sponsor these events and put all the resources of Google for their development.
