How Twitch is Losing its Way
Description
On Tuesday, Amazon-owned livestreaming platform Twitch announced controversial new advertising changes, severely prohibiting streamers from the ways they can promote sponsors. The change would affect nearly all of Twitch's top earners. The platform walked it back on Wednesday after much backlash, but there's still some concern the same rules will be enforced. Twitch is also now restricting all broadcasters regardless of partnership status from multistreaming on other longform video platforms like Facebook and YouTube.
This week OTK chief strategy officer and former Twitch staffer Zachary Diaz and Novo co-founder and content creator Devin Nash join the show to discuss how Twitch is losing its way and why this might be a watershed moment for livestreamers.
