Do you actually have an argument against Twitch and videogame streamers that aren't necessarily buzzword-tier arguments like:
>hurr durr just play the game instead, like ho people play sports instead of watching them oh wait
>hurr durr only zoomers watch streamers, my taste is refined because i was born in 1995 and not in 1996, making me a veteran
>hurr durr i dont like giving money to people even if twitch is 100% free
Like yeah, i'm not defending most of the popular streamers given they're fucking retards and we can all agree on that, but i don't really see any good arguments again Twitch as a whole.
This includes anything from generic videogame streamers to speedrunners and forumdads that do 5000 hours playthroughs of skyrim with 5000 uploads on youtube.

Steaming is incredibly lazy and basically is 99% intellectual property theft.
Their works aren't transformative, and don't meet the requirements to avoid DMCA takedowns (see, Nintendo)
I'm fairly sure most TOS allow streaming on digital platforms as long as copyrights are not blatantly broken.
An example would be streaming World of Warcraft on official servers and streaming private servers, the first is allowed pretty generously, while the latter never was, and people got banned because of it.

What a retarded argument.The streamer decided on his own that he wants to stream videogames. The act of playing videogames is something everyone is capable of and not deserving money in the first place.
If they decided they want to speedrun a game for example and wasting hundreds of hours over it, it was their own choice, because they enjoy it, not because they should get money over it.
The mentality that YouTuber or Streamers somehow deserve money even though they produce the lowest form of entertainment 95% of the time (if you can even call it entertainment in the first place) is one of the most retarded I've seen in recent years.
>99% intellectual property theft.
It's only theft if the intellectual property holders don't allow it.
They do allow it because they know Twitch streaming is free advertisement unless the product genuinely sucks ass.
Don't forget "hurr durr it's a friend simulator". That's one of the most retarded things I've heard from those that are against streamers.
For me, it's 39daph, the only good female twitch streamer
>Staff doesn't equally uphold rules on the website and allows females to get away with literally anything as long as they look above a 6/10, even if they break a several laws while streaming.
>Founder of the website now has essentially 0 control over the website and cannot even ban someone whom they think should be.
>Streamers as a whole are essentially just glorified beggars and strippers that have no talent.
>Most cucks watching them are either just attention whores or desperate people craving any form social interaction.
>Deciding to give money to these people instead of using your money to just buy the toy or go to a strip club instead.
I fail to see the appeal.
>broadcasting intellectual property isn't IP theft
Nintendo and Atlus shut down streamers before.
So has Bethesda.
Also, it's a problem waiting to happen when someone tries to steal an IP and points to them allowing Twitch streaming as proof the IP holder doesn't want or value their IP anymore.
It enables attention whores(from donators to titty streamers)
It creates pointless drama(the TRUTH about streamer/youtuber X)
It creates a retarded fanbase that spreads out infecting everything else(twitch chat outside of twitch, l33t sp34k 2.0,omg X is streaming with Y get in here bros xD)
Every well known streamer is or becomes a massive cunt with a gigantic ego
Streamer X reacts videos
