Also, c’mon, their criticism of this decision in the sentence just before it heavily implies that.

That's literally not how that works, and you even agree in the paragraph above this one. Why are you even arguing about this?

As for twitch's working conditions, it's a company ran by amazon, with management by amazon, so it has a lot of the same problems. From what I understand, the hours are shit, everything is a metric that's impossible to meet, you're constantly at risk of being laid off, a lot of the management are jackasses, and it's very much a bunch of little fiefdoms trying to flex their position and abuse any amount of power they can.

Like, I can sum it up as simply as "Know how terrible twitch mods are? Imagine working for one."

Not quite as bad as the conditions working in an amazon warehouse, sure, but still not something anyone should have to put up with. Regular inhuman working conditions with a focus on gaslighting and abuse, as opposed to an amazon warehouse's egregiously inhuman working conditions which are focused more on physical abuse.

Funny how you wrote all of that to an off-hand remark about a comment I found funny, and wrote nothing about my initial questions/points. Why are YOU even arguing about this?

Just because Amazon aquired Twitch does not necessarily mean they took a whole hands-on approach, dude. Since you posted nothing proving "inhumane" working conditions at twitch (everything you said is just "imagine how bad it must be"), I'll just take that as you conceding your point.

Have a good day!

Yeah, you enjoy your day and your strawman arguement you 'won' against as well.
