if you look at the stats twitchtracker.com/statistics its pretty obvious twitch has been riding high since PUBG.
br is droping in popularity fast fortnite is half as popular as it was in its first year and that's just google searches actually player data and use is even lower but twitch is still growing. PUBG is massively lower than it once was as well.
any day now is twitch just going to become a ghost town or do you guys jenuenly like watching other games than survival/bR on it.
I understand before PUBG alpha (which is when twitch spiked in 2017) the most watched stuff on twitch was DayZ/WarZ/H1z1 kinda shit.
if BR dies will twitch be able to return back to DayZ style stuff or is that gameplay too old? the closest thing to DayZ now is EFT but that game is a scam and not that popular (thou popular for a scam) (requires 144$ purchase to even have enough bag space to complete most quests)
so ya what do you think future of twitch is. personally I think Microsoft brought ninja because they going to make him shill their "next gen mainstream mp game" what ever that is.
but for twitch what will people be playing on that ;/ I haven't found a new cool game on twitch since I started using it and pubg I heard about from CSGO voice chat.
some of the most popular streamers are almost exclusively just chatting
Cooper Russell
they banned all thous guys thou.
I do watch some interesting IRL ones thou like that StephenFRA bounty hunter guy and that ex halo player that just goes around Thailand/australia getting drunk and going to raves.
Parker Hill
do people even watch big streamers if they're not paypigs?
Isaac Long
That video card k...kawaii On topic. I honestly hope streaming goes back to being mostly niche. I don't get how people can watch streams all the time. I've tried to watch angriestpat and a few others but they are all so fucking boring.
Kayden Lee
>they banned all thous guys thou.
it's literally one of the biggest categories...
Hunter Gray
Twitch will devolve into what it was always meant to be: a surrogate friend simulator, wherein you vicariously live your social life through someone else. That and whatever Stickam was, showering e-girls with money so they can say your name.
Anthony Peterson
is this video games? no.
Brandon Nelson
no I mean the cool edgy guys that used to dominate it they are all banned
Carson Howard
ya I never feel friends with streamers you prob need to watch more porn if you feel that way.
I expect I will return to gaming more later this year and years ahead.
maybe streaming is a phenomenon of the death of consoles and the late generation being held back by shit consoles.
the truth is streamings growth form 2013 till now was all while we had shit consoles PS4pro cpu is no faster than a xbox360 core launch models.
we only had GPU upgrades for 15years so makes sense people stop actually wanting to play as CPU dictates gameplay (and get more interested in "drama" of play thru others)
people don't get how big 2020 will be for gaming with 4x the power we had for last decade and a half on cpu. we will literally get games that have be impossible to be made since 2005... just think about that for a second. a decade and a half of impossible ideas realized.
2021-2023 will prob have some of the best games ever released in the history of mankind. people will play them rather than watch streams im sure.

>is twitch going to crash inevitably, as all things do. twitch keeps expanding their shit and changing because they would already be crashing by now with just video games, it's why they legitimized and defend camgirl titty streamers and dumb shit. they're just gonna throw whatever they can at the thing to keep it from starting to fall and hope that it never ends. obviously it will eventually end. can't imagine fucking retards watching trash games though. even if it's a streamer i like, if they're playing something dogshit like a br i'm gone. smaller rpg streamers, smaller speedrunners of fun games who have entertaining personalities, that's mostly all that makes twitch good.
Parker Miller
Ninja just moved to Mixer so the audience is just moving there. Twitch is just losing their biggest streamers, that's all.
Bentley Ortiz
What's that ex Halo guys channel?
Ethan Gonzalez
People watch and play games at the same time. If you notice most of the highest viewed games are PVP, its a large culture of people watching and learning from the best players. If anything streaming in general will grow, as people's ability to stream themselves will have less of a technological barrier. Already the PS4 has Twitch built in, and Xbox has Mixer.
shroud summit1g and that weird edgy guy that some how knows that runescape banned bro get way more views.
as does that weird autist that doesn't show his face but played latest PS4 games.
even based on popularity ninja isn't the biggest Doc Disrespect has more popularity and reputation. (maybe not with soccer mums but with like "young people")
Adrian Lopez
>wandering boomer post LOL has consistently been at the top of the chart since twitch launched. shooters come and go with the memes but there's always at least one big one
ultimately the future of twitch is just chatting. exactly as the justin.tv business plan called for, gaming content is the low hanging fruit to get exploitable viewers in the door. but ultimately, both the core viewership and the company want IRL and non-gaming content. the gamers are only there to make the site look big and provide easy finances.
if they recombined the non-gaming channels into IRL, it would now be larger than LOL
Lucas Rogers

Lincoln Ross
do you even fucking watch twitch.
LoL and dota have been dead on twitch for almost a year the community switched to literal chess. you are the boomer that goes to parties and has opinions about games but has no idea what is actually going on not i
Ryder Perez
I would laugh if MS throws them all offers to move to Mixer and they accept. Currently, without blockers/external-viewers, Twitch is becoming a cess pool of advertisements on Amazon's end of things.
Twitch has been a camgirl site since like 2016. It's way more profitable than having integrity and some of the staff jerk it to some of the titty streamers.
Ian Watson
People watch streamers because they can serve as entertainers, not specifically for the games they play. Of course, game popularity can help some streamers grow in popularity.
ninja is literally the opposite of what twitch is. he is a boring non weird guy who thinks women need god.
that's like the exact opposite of what twitch is.
they prob let him go desu wouldn't be surprised of shroud/doc/summit/ninja+others have been paid contracts on the side for ages now we just don't know about. amazon prob just refused to renew ninjas one as fortnite is dead.
Kevin Martinez
>That video card what is the name of it
Nicholas Russell
>Not having a facecam makes you retarded Have sex
Jason Diaz
Twitch.tv is turning into Justin.tv, which is pretty fucking hilarious because Twitch.tv was created to split games from Justin.tv. Then Justin.tv was shut down because it wasn't anywhere near as profitable.
Blake Hughes
it does
Parker Taylor
And once Amazon revives Justin.tv to split IRL off of Twitch, Livestream will rise from its grave.
