I get why people are doubtful about Musk. I just wanna see YouTube's monopoly broken and streamers/entertainers get their due. I do not like how YouTube treats content creators. Maybe a competitive alternative is a good thing.
especially since the closest competitor rn is twitch which is an absolute shithole
As someone less familiar with twitch, what's making it a shithole?
~~elon musk purchased it and laid off a ton of staff over time, leading twitter to be very poorly moderated and also have many technical glitches after that~~
edit: oops I'm an idiot. I thought that said twitter.
Twitch is owned by Amazon, Twitter is owned by Musk.
Thanks. I misread that comment. I appreciate the clarification.
