MODERATORS
A minute after posting this, I can think of way more necessary roles. Let's start by mentioning that all this infra needs to run 24/7 with 100% uptime so that some 30 year old can jerk off to a VOD of Amouranth at 3am without a single frame drop.
And all of this is just core product people.
Then you need HR, managers to hire, fire & promote all these people, lawyers, customer service reps, content moderators, executive assistants, and the facilities maintenance people who refill their snack closets.
Its hard to run a huge online service like Twitch.
Interesting you said exec assistants and not execs, almost like the empty suits are the least valuable addition to a company. hmmmmm....
