First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

What’s going on with Twitch ?
They were going to ban multi-streaming. Basically most streamers stream to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and I forgot the last site but Twitch was going to ban this so they could only stream to Twitch no matter if they were official twitch partners or not.
Ultimately all these big platforms are gonna cannibalize their userbase at some point. That’s the reason I started since 2 years archiving all the YouTube channels/playlists I care about. I already have many videos that were taken down by YT afterwards.

This is the first time I heard of odysee, so I just went and looked, and oh my god who picked the “lady fungus” monstrosity as a help avatar. 0.o They could’ve at least made her a cute mushroom or something instead of fleshy finger-thing, what the hell.
I have no real opinion of it yet otherwise, except that I’m automatically wary of anything touting blockchain at this point.
Youtube does need a viable competitor or three so badly, regardless.

they were also going to ban sponsorship overlays, but backpedaled on it the next day.
I thought this was already forbidden if you’re an affiliate / partner (i.e. have a subscribe button)?
iirc it’s only partners that have exclusivity deals. affiliate lets people subscribe to your channel, while partner contracts are mostly standard across the board, aside from the obvious exceptions (significantly large channel streamers).
That could be the case; the only folks I’ve heard mentioning it are partners.
