In this week’s episode, we dive into the impending demise of Twitch. While this is not necessarily our conclusion or opinion, the internet has erupted with discourse over the past few months about how Twitch is destroying itself from the inside out. We explore Twitch's estimated costs and revenue model, the declining creator and user experiences, and how two of the platform's biggest competitors could make Twitch obsolete in a number of years.
