Isn't this the exact argument search engines have been fighting for years in relation to piracy? The data hasn't been provided, a link to the data has been provided
Sure. Morally what do you think is the right thing to do?

> I wonder if this'll lead to software engineers in big companies having more restricted access to code? I don't think that Twitch has closed source code because they want to keep code private. It's probably more a matter of don't want to show commit message in case there are some bad words inside it. And don't want to show the world in case their source code look bad. Twitch without its code source can't work yeah,…
Doubt they care too much about bad words in commit messages, what they should worry about is if they've ever checked in passwords/secrets/private keys and not re-written the git history
Snippets of open source code.
Commit messages that imply anti-competitive behaviour ("Committing a change to the API to lockout competitor XYZ").
Commit messages that imply code theft ("Using a method that we used at my previous company").
etc.
Sometimes things that look sketchy might be innocent but will still cause nightmares for twitch since they'll now have to play defensively as people call into question anything that ever went into the repo.
From another site a user commented that it might have proprietary modifications to ffmpeg which is LGPL/GPL (I think?). Would a leak be considered to be distribution, could others legally take these modifications and merge them into the upstream project? I imagine other free software might have modifications too.

The problem isn't the product. I was going to compete with Steam at one point and we had objectively better systems and a better client. The problem was the critical mass issue - no users, no publishers, neither want to join without the other. Amazon will definitely get publishers but will users join? That's not a given.
I would imagine they would attempt to secure exclusive rights to a popular title and only distribute it from their new platform. I believe that is what epic did when they launched their store.

The thing with Twitch streaming is that you can do it from almost anywhere. So, $50k is maybe a bit high for a living wage. Plus, Twitch is probably just one source of income for many content creators. For many it's not their primary source, but just a side source. YouTube, Patreon, OnlyFans, outside sponsors, or even esports may be where they make most of their money.
This is a, maybe, long way to get to this, but keep with me. I have always been fascinated by understanding what is edible, useful, or "traditionally medicinal" in the natural world around me. I have spent decades of my life learning about how to use, propagate, and cultivate most plants, animals, fungi, and minerals (not the propagate part here) in an area +/- 100 miles from where I live. I've taught a couple of Sta…

Are you kidding? 4.8M / year is stellar revenue. Much much more than most people make in a lifetime. It's even more interesting that for 50k gross, you have to beat this guy "DEMOLITION_D" at the #4432 place.
Number 1 is Critical Roll. Their website lists 24 employees (many of whom are professional actors), and I’m sure there’s more behind the scenes. Salaries add up quickly.
Also: 4.8M/24 people is still 200k per head. Even if you assume that various costs take 50% of the revenue, they're all still making 6 figures for a thing that's pretty much a side hustle for most of them.
