I’m pretty out of the loop. Did something happen with Twitch?

There's also the twitch moderation team being harder enforcing written and unwritten rules on vtubers.

I tried searching on dexerto for it but 5 minutes of searching didn't get me anything.

Vtuber fans being wary of twitch with this, even with hololive, is valid.

Also Calliope has said before that she will not be on twitch if anyone is wondering. I'm sorry for the X link, but someone clipped it there https://xcancel.com/LC_Lapen/status/1983360390328422468

That's... kinda harsh? I mean, I get not wanting to stream on Twitch (or on any of the current "popular" alternatives like Kick), but what if a decent competitor eventually shows up? Maybe even something propped up by Hololive, as they could have a lot to gain by not having their memberships and superchats cut by Youtube?

Twitch as the platform, nothing new really. It’s bad, but it’s always been bad.

Thing is TwitchCon happened this month and it was a PR disaster, even specifically for VTubers.

The fact that the leading site in the streaming industry routinely screws its top earners while being literally owned by Amazon means they just don’t care about anything except the money (and they’re pretty bad at earning that, too).
