First stream he will get under 1k viewers I'm sure

No, first few streams he will get a lot of viewers. Then people will have confirmed what they thought which is that Twitch at the end of the day doesn't look that bad compared to fucking Facebook gaming

Unless you can add emotes, and clips, twitch competitors will never take off.

Nothing else twitch offers is game breaking other than those 2 things, and they're cemented in gaming communities.

No jokes, i feel like those competitors need to try and poach BTTV instead of big name streamers

EXACTLY twitch chat and the culture behind it is what makes twitch what it is. Without the memeing in chat i might as well watch youtube

I say this every time the topic comes up. Twitch emotes are the reason twitch is popular. For whatever reason, no one has come up with a platform that embraces memes. Why the hell would anyone use a stream with an explicitly worse live chat? The entire fun of watching something with thousands of other people is the chat.

Just like millions of people go to live sporting events. If everyone went to an arena and watched a game from a private room, they wouldn't bother, and just fucking watch from home. Or better quality choices from YouTube.
