Hey Strangers,

#Youtube #twitch #streamer

Amazon bought Twitch, the livestreaming platform, 10 years ago, with the hopes it would be buying the next YouTube or Instagram — an up-and-coming media app that would explode in popularity and profit when hooked to a Big Tech platform.

Instead, The Wall Street Journal reports, Twitch has fizzled: It's losing money on annual revenue of $2 billion — a nothingburger by Amazon's standards — and usage seems stalled.

This year, the company reportedly cut a third of Twitch's staff, and there's worry about its place in Amazon at a time when CEO Andy Jassy is looking to tighten the company's focus.
