I will never understand how Amazon hasn't shuttered Twitch yet. Dan Clancy is totally ok with his contracted streamers constantly live streaming terrorist training videos. I guess the adpocalypse only came for YouTube and never Twitch.
For anyone who is curious btw: twitch will count you as your own viewer. So anyone with their own chat open in a browser (almost everyone so they can read it) will have that 1 viewer. Which is why the bottom of the distribution is so weird looking.
What about https://nobody.live/?
also neat! never heard of it, seems like we have a bit different ways about browsing similar data. very cool site

no comment on the political bits, but the fact that 80% of twitch is streaming to themselves cant be cheap to run
I do wish they would revamp their discoverability process
do you think they get a blank check for AWS resources?

Similar in spirit to IMG_0001⁰, IMG_0416¹, and astronaut.io² for YouTube but live on Twitch!

ya it's why I have the default set to 0-5, theres weirdness in what twitch counts as a viewer
There are some soundcloud and mixcloud versions that might need inventing ...cool concept!
i am actually even more impressed that you got this to front page
did I do something wrong or something
Not that I can see. I think most on HN root for the underdog.
