Its a bit hard to feel bad for them given what an absolute cesspit Twitch is as a company.
Like I understand the people theyre firing wont be the ones making it a shit company, but you still enable it by working there.
I don't buy it. Many people that work there are there because they want to work for a company with lots of users that enjoy their product/service. It shouldn't be a reflection on them as people, especially as they're losing their jobs/co-workers, and are now entering a harsh job market.
Jesus christ
yeah, no. That's literally not what im saying at all.
For one my criticism is of Twitch the company, not twitch streamers.
Secondly im not saying they deserve unemployment, just i struggle to feel bad for them.
But yeah if you want to completely change my argument to you can be outraged over it, go ahead.
Argue about the specific degree all you want. You were still being an asshole.
Your response to 500 people losing their jobs in an ever increasingly dire job market was to say that twitch being bad is their fault and heavily implying they deserve to suffer. All you are doing is hemming and hawing to the degree because you got called out and realized what a massively shitty thing that is to do.
You can shit on a company without taking joy in the suffering of people just trying to survive in this end-stage capitalistic wasteland.
Go outside and get some fresh air, dude.
Reading wasn't your best subject, was it?
Literally the exact opposite of what I said.
Is what I said. I get I gave you full permission to just change my argument so you can be butthurt about it, but still.
You seem pretty desperate to start an argument here. May I recommend putting down your phone for a bit?
At least edit your comment before pretending you didn't say some "I am not saying they deserve it, but they deserve it" bullshit
You can try to will at as much as you like but that doesn't make it true. I never said they deserve it, I never said they are the reason it's shit. You can deny or accept the reality, either way I don't really care what you think...
