How is this technology?
How is it not? It's IT, Information Technology
Things that happen on twitch, youtube, etc, don't seem like "technology". Just because it happens on tech doesn't make tech.
I might be in the minority... I'm just saying ๐
I agree with you, there is plenty of news here which are borderline techs. The funny part is how tolerant people are about. I remember the comment about some saoudis arrested after twitter gave them up, and this time, it was commented this article shouldn't be posted on this community...
You can as well ask, is YouTube any good as a video platform?
Twitch have been around for more than 10 years and can serve tens of thousands of viewers, so I would say it's pretty stable technology.
Should this article be on a technology forum though? It's purely about a company changing a rule blocking you from using a service. It's a TOS change. Nothing new was created, no tech has been introduced. This is company politics, nothing more.
Valid point, the annoying part is that it's the trend for major technology companies to just change their tos and not really do anything new. So there's a lot of discussion about boring stuff.
Sure, but there's plenty of interesting tech out there that isn't highlighted because twitch made a TOS change
