Comment on [SomeOrdinaryGamers] Twitch Is A Disgustingly Evil Platform...

It’s a platform like any other that is trying to NOT piss off one group or another and end up on the boycott block.
It’s every public platform ever. This should not be news.
Anyone posting stuff like this is just angry about a stance not being declared.
No one was asking them to put this ban in place, and hardly anyone noticed it for an entire year, so how did that help them in any way?
The graphic content excuse makes zero sense because, according to them, they still allowed signups with mobile. Plus they knowingly kept the ban in place for a year while being notified by users the entire year.

It’s a bit different when you have sponsored streamers giving literal terrorists a platform (such as a Houthi pirate who posts about personally murdering every jew), and sponsored stream events at the company con that rank people from Arab to Zionist/sabra, and banning all new users from israel IPs.
It’s not just about a stance not being taken, twitch clearly has taken a stance.
This is all quite a bit far passed the whole “trying not to piss off one group or another”
I’m not saying this should be news but you’re definitely being reductive with this comment I’d “every public platform ever”.
Fuck twitch, fuck the platforming and acceptance of Hamas/houthis/hazbollah right along with the IDF as well.

Nope. Watched it just fine. Didn’t even misunderstand a single thing. Guys makes his point but is 100% wrong.
If you get involved with a platform that doesn’t align with your ideas, and find out about that later, you’re at the behest of said platform.
Your fault. Not the platform.
