The bandwidth was obviously never the problem for Amazon. It was the actual content. How do you monetize Twitch streamers and, more importantly, Twitch stream viewers? They never figured that out, even at Amazon-scale.
- im_down_w_otp 3y agoForce people who want to sell on Amazon Marketplace to dedicate product to and pay for placement within Twitch streams. Then identify those products in the streams and spam the viewers & chat with purchase links and content streams that contain related recommended products. Turn the whole thing into a self-referential product placement & affiliate scheme.
- Avicebron 3y agoDepending on how in in-your-face that is, it might just kill the platform. I don't have any definitive answers but maybe if they ramped up their own game development studios, and flooded the ecosystem with them, they might see some return on investment (people paying for micro transactions basically) that seems like a semi-organic fit for the platform.
- Sleaker 3y agoThis seems like it was already part of the plan, see lost ark + new world launches and ongoing prime support.
