This makes me so mad and it’s not because of how it affects me, but because of how it affects so many non-gaming channels on Twitch (thread).https://twitter.com/twitchsupport/status/1305644088885207041 …

In September of 2018, Twitch removed Creative as a category in the directory. Creators who streamed under Creative scrambled to adapt and find new ways to promote their channels, how to categorize their content, and how to deal with Twitch’s already super subpar discoverability.

Creators who stream any kind of content other than gaming have always had an uphill battle on a predominantly gaming-centric platform. And these new forced mid-roll ads hurt them more than any other type of creator.

Twitch is a business & their #1 priority is their bottom line. But to act as if we all bleed purple equally on a platform that makes decisions that disproportionately affects some more than others... just say other types of creators don’t make you enough $ and be honest about it.
