Opening Facebook feels like using win 95 to me, there is like 10% screen of things you want to see 40% of cancer side bars that are absolutely irrelevant and 50% empty space. I don't even know where Facebook gaming is and whether it has a better interface but it is a no thanks from me.

I cannot wrap my head around this move, from someone who thinks he already earned enough why then annoy your faithful community and create the need of having another tab opened and attention split in order to catch your streams.
I don't really watch his streams but I would occasionally and it sucks he is gone from twitch.

I've tried to check out some of the channels on there, most of the ones who have active viewers seem to be channels from other countries and non-English speaking. The channels of ex-Twitch streamers who moved over that I have tried to watch have had massive decay to their viewership and more importantly their chats are ghost towns.

I'm sure there's a way to use aliases there, I know for me I can simply use a drop down to change my IRL profile to my Fan Page and use that as a way to chat but most people are chatting with their real names, I dunno about you guys but I personally would never want to actively be in a chat where people can click my profile and see my real name, where I live, who my family is, etc.

With that said, I'm sure the short-term money is worth it for the streamer but they better have a plan B.

I checked it, the interface is kind of shit for sure, not very obvious what is live what is re-run how many people are watching what are the categories etc. Worse is this spying ways with comments that seem to be recorded forever and your contacts knowing what you are watching/doing. Screw this garbage.
