Its funny how both Reddit and Twitch announce API or policy changes that creates mass discussion within their respective communities regarding longevity and user experience. Both companies are doing shitty things for the $$$ and simultaneously creating mass exodus(es?) to other platforms.
What I find most interesting, is the announcements were made during a similar time frame and both plan to implement their changes on July 1st. I think thats pretty suspect? Almost as if a shareholder has their hand in both their pockets making a big push at once.
What are all of your thoughts on this? Im curious to hear some other perspectives!

What is going on with Twitch? Haven’t really been keeping up with it

… We need to get some bots up in here
I think it was bound to happen once they got BC funding. Honestly it’s probably for the best, as it’s like ripping a band aid off. If they hadn’t caused all of this turmoil at once, we likely wouldnt have seen such a big migration here.
no, it’s horrible. and they feel like they can get away with it.
What’s crazy is Twitch actually folded and Reddit is being stubborn. They still have some sneaky lines in their TOS, but it seems they aren’t going to enforce them like YT.
I think they are not stupid and they made it happen for some monetary reason, they made it look like they are loosing to hide what they are gaining.
