Both twitter, and reddit (maybe twitch and youtube) going to shit is perfect timing

What is happening with Twitch?

I believe they changed how they payout to streamers, essentially cutting their income by around 25% and then keeping it for themselves. Also stricter rules on sponsorships and how they are advertised on your stream. I don't really know the details I don't use twitch just what I remember reading.
