    I don't watch many streams at all, but still treat it the same way as any other video platform. I go where the majority of my content creators are at, and don't really leave ever. Going to a single page on Twitch and seeing everyone who I'm following and what they are playing it convenient and easy for the way I use Twitch, background noise, but needing to also travel to Mixer or FaceBook to find what content they are streaming is too many extra steps for what I use it for.

    I figure most of these large streamers leaving are doing so simply because the platform offered them a large check, and almost nobody is going to give up a couple million dollars which is a real easy retirement for giving another year or two to this other platform.

    Also I will never use FaceBook Gaming, don't think ever. The last time I tried to watch a stream via FaceBook Gaming it wanted me to sign into my FaceBook account, and I really don't want my old account with family watching it associated at all with this random streamer I watch for background noise.
