I’m thinking Twitch. Discord, imo, is just starting down the bad path but it still does what it’s supposed to do very well. Twitch, however, wants to enforce rules on content creators that might lead to them leaving entirely.
Good news! Twitch is currently shitting all over itself with T&C changes around mandating exclusive streaming on their platform from their partners.
The hilarity is that some of the streamers are moving over to Kick, which is a platform that may or may not have been built from the stolen Twitch source code, which is just the most amazing drama possible.
Anyone with owncast experience want to chime in? I don’t stream on twitch, I barely log into twitch, but I occasionally tune into certain streams. How easy is that through owncast?
I worry about Discord imploding because everything is behind the walled garden and difficult to extract unlike a forum board or playlist.
The landgrab with account renames will be an interesting test for them.

Well, OwnCast exists.

The streamer side is not difficult at all. Can’t really speak for the viewership side as I haven’t tried that.
