I’ve been seeing this headline all week, and didn’t think much of it, since I basically never buy from Amazon. But I’d forgotten they own Twitch. And boy, do I use a lot of Twitch. Unfortunately, in the way of money, it’s pretty much all subscriptions that are already paid for. None of those are coming up for renewal next week, that I could cancel. I could definitely just not watch anything next week, but the union that organized this says they’re looking for drops in sales. Not watching would only contribute to that if I would have been served ads. I’m wondering if I should instead try spread the word of the boycott, in the streams I watch.
I’ve been trying to directly donate rather than subbing as a workaround. Keep my entertainment and support streamers I watch while limiting my support of twitch. With a proxy to avoid ads of course
It’s rough. I think for it to make an impact on the twitch side of things, the streamer would need to be the one to make the stand. Afterall, your subs are already paid for; nothing more you could really do other than avoid the site for a week.

I dunno, what do y’all think?
