Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

The tech bubble has burst, this kind of video based social media is no longer profitable for the tech companies, and the creators get shafted as a result. I think Twitch is also laying off a bunch of staff.
I'm not sure this is entirely accurate. When talking about huge YouTubers who have been successfully making enormous sums, some have been big for over a decade, their revenues will hardly have dropped over time. If anything I'd argue they've made so much money that they now have the privilege to go pursue less profitable but more enjoyable occupations.
Good riddance. Here’s hoping people get bored of the even more scammie slop that is left.
