Twitch was good when it was video games only, it really went downhill since Amazon bought it.
"[service] really went downhill since [tech conglomerate] bought it" could be a Mad Lib.
I’ll take “buy out directly leading to enshittification” for 500, Alex
It was never video games only. My first introduction to Justin.tv was the fact that it had 24/7 Seinfeld streams.
It's fine lol, except they are way too aggressive on ads
