content: Amazon is the company that bought Twitch for ~$970 Million. Google/Youtube is a competitor. A competitor that has been driving content creators to find other revenue sources after their unannounced algorithms caused massive income crashes and continues to meddle with bottom lines.  It doesn't help that the business model multichannel networks like Maker Studios or Revision3 use to leverage ad impressions from popular content is "screwed” and “unsustainable”. With Maker Studios buying the youtube video competitor Blip outright and more and more channels moving either to self-hosting or pay-to-watch-early sites like Vessel, things are looking grim for Youtube in the long (> 5 Year) span. The streaming video industry is begging for a competitor to unseat google. Personally I'd adore a piecemeal system where everyone owns and releases their own content from their own networks for viewers to aggregate into a manageable form via RSS but that will never happen. :\
