Website Introduction
Launched in 2011 and acquired by Amazon, Twitch hosts live broadcasts with real-time chat. Features include Subscriptions (fan support), Bits (virtual tips), and Drops (in-game rewards). Streamers monetize via ads, sponsorships, and merchandise. The platform also covers music, talk shows, and “Just Chatting.” Twitch Prime (included with Amazon Prime) offers free perks. Recent updates include simulcasting, TikTok-style discovery feed, and enhanced moderation tools. Despite controversies over harassment and DMCA issues, Twitch dominates live-streamed entertainment.
