Twitch Is Developing Talk Shows and Dating Programs for Gamers
Now, if only they could spin off all the gaming content...maybe create a separate website for that. How about Justin.tv? That sounds nice, doesn&#x27;t it?<p>I&#x27;ve been using the website for over ten years now and it&#x27;s somewhat sad to see how it has actually deteriorated over time (from the perspective of how it used to be). Having been part of the community that made Justin.tv win against its competition, it feels like they built on our backs, only to slowly abandon us over time. The initial honoring by spinning off Twitch.tv for games exclusively has long worn off, as it was supplanted by non-gaming categories who continue to grow as they happily copy from other streaming websites (Afreeca first and foremost).<p>I really wish there were proper alternatives in the West but network effect is a thing and somehow, their websites are even worse than Twitch.tv (Mixer doesn&#x27;t work at all at the time of writing this).
