Twitch Has Become an Embarrassment

- With each day there seems to be a new controversy involving Twitch making the rounds but as quick as they come they seemingly vanish. Being buried by the journalist media and influencers, so today we’re going to be taking an overview of the past few years of Twitch from behind the scenes to the controversy surrounding many of its influencers as the state of the website continues to decline.
If this topic interests you please keep in mind this is an overview, and having nearly reached an hour I felt it would be best not to go every single case, focusing on some of the worse examples while attempting to cover every area.

There is Twitch Staff outside of my house
Consume them.
Take my Groza, DO A CRIME
Invite them in. They’re weak. Destruction is their destiny. Devour them. You’ll have dinner for at least a week.
I wish you would post more. 🙂
Show them your videos. Maybe then they'll realise what good content looks like.
DIMITRI IS BACK
I am always watching 👁
@@DimitriMonroe Hey Boss!
Or is he front?
@@otto_jk Now your asking the real q's? 🤔
@@DimitriMonroe But who watches the watchboi?
The mic licking was uncomfortable. Hate these people.
I Agree
It's super gross. They look like they're mentally ill doing that.
The reason Twitch is in such a sorry state is because there is no incentive for creativity. We see it in the biggest streamers jumping on the latest hit video game title, to endless drama farming, to blandly copying the latest "metas" that you mentioned in this video. When your site is supposedly built off of creators and they stop creating anything the webiste and communtiy cuilt around it are going to falter as well.
It's amusing to see how streamed New World was for a few months and now we are seeing the same thing with elder ring. And I'm over here like...let's play a game from 1998
@@CraftyArts Twitch streamers got paid by Amazon to play New World, while Elden Ring is legitimately popular and has been hyped for years. There's a big difference.
Mizkif had said this exact thing before,
honestly the main reason i switched over from twitch to youtube streaming was the fact that twitch takes *50%* of all money from subscriptions and bits. it's not even so much that i want more money from it for myself (of course, that's still a part of it), it's mostly just that i find it insulting that someone would want to support their favorite streamer with $5 a month and then have HALF of all the money they've ever given to them go right to bezos' pockets. absolutely robbery. the lack of discoverability and the way it prioritizes already big channels rather than up and coming ones in terms of where it directs viewers also sucks. i never had to deal with any of these arbitrary rule enforcements but i also feel bad for everyone who does.
Haha femboy crossover
Bless you for sifting through the wastebin of the internet to gather all of this footage. Great video and welcome back, Dimitri :)
The “TV Meta” is so frustrating. Especially because CZcams already figured this out in 2007 when Viacom sued CZcams for $1 Billion. That was 15 years ago. Twitch has CZcams as a example of what not to do and still makes the same mistakes. It will take a multibillion dollar company taking Twitch to court for it to sink in.
Reaction content is hard to mess up. I watch movies with friends and we don’t just sit there in complete silence but also don’t talk over the whole movie either. Then after we finish we discuss what we just watched. What we liked, disliked, initial predictions, and explaining stuff if one of us didn’t understand a part. I had a friend explain The Shining to me before and it was fun. It’s the same thing with reaction videos. Treat it like a book club. Have some kind of discussion with the audience.
Dimi, the reason you're banned is because, obviously, you didn't show your holes. You still have dignity.
Twitch messed with the wrong alpha male.
wat
To this day, I still don't understand why Hasan got that popular in the first place. The dude's insane, so I guess his audience must be too.
He's very attractive and his politics are broadly appealing to superficial people. It's not hard to get.
@@ldskjfhslkjdhflkjdhf yeah... He's a milk toast leftists himbo. His appeal is clear although I really don't like him because I find him boring and lacking in intellectual content.
@@ldskjfhslkjdhflkjdhf basically PC Principal from South Park in real life….
@@crimsoncross8823 not really there's a difference between Jersey shore himbo and an Oakley sunglasses himbo
@@ldskjfhslkjdhflkjdhf people consider him attractive!?
FINALLY SOMEONE CALLS OUT FEXTRALIFE, I HATE THAT VIEWBOTTING EMBED SHIT BUT TWITCH ENOURCAGES IT I FUCKING HATE THAT SO MUCH
I hate that they became the 'de-factor' dark souls wiki despite being an ugly, ad-filled piece of shit with a horrible layout, that started off by stealing most of their wiki pages word for word from other wikis.
Twitch has a a lot of problems and no clear way out of it.
They could begin enforcing the rules equally but they’ll lose the money makers over night.
They could just codify it but they’ll get raked for saying the quiet part out loud.
It’s a difficult position and everyone at Twitch deserves it.

🐍no step on snek! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
Making up for that long absence with 40+ minute videos? I ain't complaining.
2 months is short for me ! It helped that I didn't have to play through an rpg 5 times for this one.
I mean to be fair, video essays / exposes like this are crack to algorithm-chan, even if you don't post often.
Yea I'm assuming this one is being sent to way more people then my last video. It's just funny from my perspective lol
what is it about being a twitch mod, reddit mod or discord mod that turns people into such power drunk lunatics?
It's weirdly common in management positions in actual workplaces. The more incompetent of a self-important busybody/control freak someone is as a person, the more likely they are to want these kinds of positions where they can exert power/"power" over others.
It's really funny when it comes to unpaid moderators though. The fact that they make the online world their ENTIRE world to that level is so tragic that it circles right back around to fucking hilarity.
Twitch is fairly consistent in pretending to be a game streaming service, but running softcore porn.
The rule: if a camgirl brings in enough money, she's a keeper. The only way these camgirls could get banned from Twitch if they tried - and succesfully managed to - evade Twitch taking its cut from the income.
Gamers are just tolerated on Twitch as part of the public image. This way they can avoid age restrictions and stream softcore porn to all ages, including children...
If you are a serious content creator and streamer. CZcams is where you want to be if you want to be treated seriously.
@@ClayBenTreeceJr. It's not that simple sadly, CZcams doesn't take matters seriously either.
Meanwhile Twitch doesn't apply its policies on a regular basis and just randomly picks small content creators to punish, CZcams does the opposite, throws buggy automatic content checks at you and if that doesn't work, you're on your own, CZcams won't let you talk with the support to find out what the heck is going on.
In reality, both major live-streaming service sucks, they just suck at wildly different things.
This is a incredibly accurate visual representation of how visually and mentally biased twitch and it's owners are. Horrible to see explaining as much as you did and getting banned indefinitely for that image you posted. It's inexcusable.
had no idea it was this bad thought it was just memes or hyperbol. very informative. good video
People licking a microphone makes me want to puke
This video aged extremely well.
Thank you for making this video.
I'm gonna be honest, I also have a very negative view of twitch, and I find it extremely frustrating that 0 creativity gets rewarded in their corrupt system, but I'd still wanna try streaming, if my depressed ass would allow it some day. Mostly because I like the idea of trying to do something creative that actively goes against the grain and the most common "meta", but also because it seems genuinely cool to build a community that would be that attuned to my tastes. I don't know if I'll ever have the bolas to do it though. But I can dream right?
Great video dude, I hope it's very successful, I find that it voices pretty much all the gripes that people have with twitch, while not coming off as abrasive or misinformed.
Also great to see you around here again. I missed your voice -no homo- -yes homo-
Babe, wake up, Dimitri uploaded
Idk if it was CZcams or Twitch, but didn't someone get a 3 day ban because someone literally stole their car while they were streaming?
Yup ! That was Twitch.
I've recently taken up Twitch streaming but this video has really made me realise that I only choose Twitch is because I like the features such as raids, channel points, polls, etc. That and it at least does something to help smaller streamers, with that "Recommended smaller communities" section.
But really, it just feels like the best streaming platform out of many terrible options. Much like CZcams with videos, I'm waiting for a more sensible and well kept streaming platform than Twitch, and deep down I know it'll never happen. Twitch doesn't even need to change much fix the controversies. Just enforce the rules properly and evenly without being quick to ban. If they lose those controversial streamers, then just focus on promoting and sharing those who actually care for TOS.
Can't bring myself to stream on CZcams. I've heard all about how mentally damaging the algorithms are, and I've suffered through it's constant downwards spiral for 14 years. Guess based on that, Twitch will never improve unless a decent competitor shows up. Money hungry companies will get away with whatever if it fills their pockets.
This video has confirmed many things I've thought about Twitch for years. Tha k you.
wait-
people play video games on twitch?
Twitch: Not even once.
oh god not the deer lady again!
Your people
@@DimitriMonroe TnT dont relate her to me not like this
Holy shit you’re back Dimi!!! I would’ve imagined that you’d make a video like this eventually!! Love your videos! I can’t wait to finish this one too! ❤️❤️
I missed your videos so much! Glad to have you back
inb4 a streamer watches this entire video on stream without commentary
Good God, the short twitch clips you've shown were enough to make my skin crawl, I can't imagine what it takes to sift through hours of this garbage to gather material for a video like this. Anyway, since you've asked what's even the point of this video... Well, this video may not change anything in the grand scheme of things, but rest assured, it exposed someone like me (who isn't following any streamer) to a culture subset I didn't even know existed, and to the problems it carries over. So, thanks a lot!
Funny to come back to this video now, given more recent events with Twitch.
Gotta enjoy watching the purple site tumble over themselves again and again even now.
Hey this was a great video, before the TV Meta I always thought Twitch couldn't go any lower, boy was I wrong. I'm wondering if a protected streamer will ever do anything so bad that Twitch has no choice but to ban them forever, not sure what that would be though, I always thought it would be streaming Viacom content but clearly that's only a 2-day ban.
There were some things that I have learned about what's wrong with twitch, such as the creators who put only fans links in their subscriber messages.
I was glued to the screen the entire time. Good video. Honestly I can see Twitch falling apart spectacularly within the next two years, their crimes and negligence will come crashing down the second anyone on the inside starts whistelblowing.
I was planning on getting back into streaming again, debating whether to go back to Twitch or start anew on CZcams, and you reminded me some of the many reasons why I stopped using Twitch with this videos.
I wish I could switch to CZcams honestly, but I really really like the support Twitch has for channel customization. Twitch is just so infuriating in so many ways. But if I swtiched to CZcams, I'd lose so many things, like emotes and stuff.
CZcams has emotes, the main thing it's missing is gift memberships and something more akin to bits, that being said when your established on twitch I understand not switching. Theres to much on the line.
Bigger creators are the ones who can afford to do something and as stated we are seeing the odd case of that now
@@DimitriMonroe I know CZcams has emotes and stuff, but the bar is much, much higher than Twitch allows.
I personally am established on Twitch but funnily enough if I swapped over to CZcams I'd also technically have an already established viewership too, just because the game I stream mainly has like, nobody of my skill caliber playing it, if anyone even was playing it on here.
Really enjoyed this one. Great work, Dimitri!
Glad you enjoyed it !
I gotta say, seeing the clips with those ASMR ear-things getting licked and stuff made me kinda gag just a little bit
Been awhile, loved your localization video so I’m pretty excited
A cause of these issues is that platforms (Twitch, CZcams) benefit tremendously from uneven power dynamics; in this case, by selling people on the dream that "you can make a living making video content!" while not taking these people on as formal employees, or being responsible for adhering to employee protection laws. It's a digital analog to the issues with gig economy businesses. Companies benefit from this uneven power dynamic and selective enforcement; they don't have to spend time/money justifying behavior or ensuring it's consistent, and they can prop up money-makers while tossing problematic or unprofitable actors. And that's totally legal private corporation behavior, when not specifically counteracted by protective legislation. Personally, I believe the root issue is that, as a society, we haven't defined standards for equitable behavior (which companies ought to be beholden to) or protected, acceptable public behaviors (which people could not be punished for, without opening companies up to overwhelming legal liability).
Excellent work Dimitri. This amount of work deserves way more views, and I'm sorry that I didn't notice this upload until today. Keep up the good work!
whole idea of streaming seems to be pointless at this stage without a pre existing following
countless ways for someone to utilize the medium in a way that has not been done before but absolutely no reason to actually do so with how the cards are stacked
I love how that one clip with the 5 girls talking, two of them are clearly texting. I guess they can't be engaged enough with the conversation despite the streaming being their thing
Oh, a nod to Papa Gundam? Very cultured.
Really great video! Twitch is such a cesspool.
29:05 Cameo of snaffuu The Based, 11 months sub of Hasan, who still had enough balls and commons sense to call him out. Be like snaffuu.
Amazing video as always, a perfect video to summarize Twitch’s awful behaviour, again great work
Always a good day when this channel uploads ^__^
Love watching your videos, hope you are keeping well
Omg seeing lowtiergod not on troll channels? What the hell this is surreal
Yeah I really have only one streamer I usually catch once every week, subbed through Prime. It's a special occasion if I spend any other time and/or money through Twitch, and I'd never return if that same guy left. I want to support sites like Twitch as little as possible until when or if they sort themselves out.
40:29 the resistance to even adding that was them low key acknowledging that those streamers would be targeted and they were and twitch does fuk all about it. Also amazing the top earners turned out to be people like MoistCritical and Destiny
i remember when wubby talked about cinnpie, i went down a whole rabbit hole did not know the smash community had been tainted like it has. it does make me wonder if it was talked more publically would she face consequences?
Underrated channel. Thank you for the video.
When Twitch inevitably collapses, the new meta there would be who can garner the most sympathy as they were all wittle puppets dancing for big stream.
LTG is low tier cringe dawg ngl
Anytime anything goes corport the corruption begins
I don't use Twitch. Never really have. Don't intend to start. I'll survive somehow.
Italian twitch is pretty nice (or pog, as the kids say).
The solution is to stream in some waky ass language american mods can't understand
If twitch has been so corrupt, why haven't streamers tried to unionize. That way streamers who get caught up in the platform's hypocrisy can have a means to talk to those in charge and have a constructed means to get answers.
God tier video. Whenever a new Dimitri video pops up I know it's going to be based.
It's like a challenge
Itsagundam in the first 2 minutes I'm here for it
welcome back dimi :)
Fantastic video Dimitri
Thank you !!
the reason most of these streamers ( and many others ) delete there vods is actually cause of dmca robots scrubbing through vods from the music industry to spam dmca anything they can. since this started happening its actually generally viewed as dangerous to keep vods on twitch whatsoever and also why nowadays its pretty common practise to see people with newly made stream vod youtube channels amoung gaming streamers who foxus on youtube content from there streams.
This was a thing far before that incident, and I talk about the dmca situation in earlier point in the video.
@@DimitriMonroe must of missed that. either way great video.
@@Wutever thank you !
Good stuff, a shame it was only just now recommended to me.
New dimitri vid, less go!
Well, well, well, looks like the cute boy uploaded a video :P
Oh you just KNOW this'll be a spicy one!!!!!!
I got associate last year and there is just no audience unless you have the means to do something elaborate. Or you're already popular. Try doing live commentary on CZcams videos on twitch now or playing video games.
i sometimes think of trying out making content for twitch instead of youtube cus of the casualisation of the site, but now i don't know, no dislikes, youtube shorts looking real good rn
I miss the internet.
Theres a name I didn't expect to see I my notifs
I don't even bother with twitch anymore. There are way more quality streamers/video creators on CZcams.
Hmm, back in my day, we went to the brothel to see the ladies of the night. Seems they went to twitch since then... and here I thought it was for posting videogame live streams, silly me.
Excellent Work
HE IS BACK
29:00 COME ON!
The least you can do is name the channel or say "Go watch the video" so the algorithm will check it!
Some streamers are more equal than others
Hasan's face just puts me in a bad mood.
Aight. Imagine blaming the substitute teacher for the actual teacher's shit lesson given lmfao
LETSSS GOOO!!!
One issue is that these streamers are burnt out and are afraid to say so, and take a break. Hasanabi often coasts and doesn't react when he's burnt out, but he's also known for pausing every few seconds and turning a 5 minute PragerU video into a 1 hour reaction
Oh hey I missed your content
19:00 HE, you mean HE was.
More like Twatch lmao
he back
Thanks for the free shoutout my guy
We know
Good video
am i missing a joke or did u misspell juxtaposition
Oh it keeps getting worse
Very curious on your political views at this point
My only political alliance is to anime girls understanding this will make all of my actions clear.
@@DimitriMonroe a man after my own heart lol
None, all politics are bs.
What did Hasan do? I literally only remember him from those TYT videos I used to see on Facebook in like 2017, I had no idea he was considered controversial.
He's a political commentator with really bad opinions, even for a left winger.
The Young Turks are genocide deniers, are you surprised that someone associated with them is controversial at best?
Dimitri Aris fan?
Hey Alright.
Yeah I forget how popular Aris is lol
But on a serious note, twitch is tricky but many girls sucks the staff and the staff hates the man. I swear there's no other explained
Hasan... I don't know man I really don't know, twitch is bias as f
I cant wait for the day twitch loses their top 20 creators perminately because they moved to a different platform.
I can only hope.
