RE: Steem is Missing a Huge Opportunity on Twitch
Yeah I have no idea how they will react, or if they can even do anything to stop it. I suppose they could update the contract they have with their "partners" to ban Steem, but that might create more outrage than it's worth. Dun know. It certainly wouldn't be very consistent of them to ban a certain type of tipping mechanism. Such an action would be a very "on the back foot" desperation move, and could even gain our community fame and have unintended consequences.
I only see this being a positive for Twitch because they are still getting paid on every ad that plays. They have the api available for a reason, the "attempted" exploit is what they want to happen otherwise I am sure they would have made it A LOT harder to accomplish this.
Indeed, I forgot about the ads because of Twitch Prime.
Twitch Prime recently removed the ad-free benefit.
fuck it bro, if they cant figure out how to keep their business model up to date with advancing technology than they don't deserve that money. I for one am not against taking it whether they like it or not
