Just moving one creator off the biggest platform accomplishes nothing.

We've already discussed several times precisely how it does. If you don't agree, that's fine, but you can stop repeating the same nonsense over and over.

And I don’t see a universe where Big Tech is going to change its’ tune either unfortunately.

Not as long as people like you continue to advocate against it.

Basically every podcast is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, some of the major ones also on YouTube. How’s that different from streaming?

Because they're also available without them. And YouTube does not have podcasts.

And I’m saying there’s no point unless it’s a coordinated effort. A single creator being unavailable on Twitch changes nothing, except that single streamer’s visibility

Brother you can't just start at 5 million. Everything starts at one. Fortunately there are already hundreds, but none of them as influential as the mayor of NYC.

Their website runs fine on Firefox

I don't care about their website. I want a client where I click a button and the game launches.

Heroic even provides a unifying launcher for GOG

It only works like 10% of the time. While Steam works 99%. Even when it works it doesn't support a bunch of features that GOG desktop does.

Are you saying the convenience of the more proprietary platform is keeping you from using the less proprietary one?

No I'm saying one supports free operating systems and the other doesn't.
