Hard disk storage isn't getting cheaper at the same pace as earlier(before the Thailand floods 10 to 15 years ago IIRC). Bandwidth is also expensive, especially across the world. Microsoft threw in the towel in a related space(live str

Plus they already provide the data powering the site(plus the site code itself I think?) with a lenient CC license. What more can we ask for? I don't get why people are so hell bent over screwing over a good citizen.

Ads always interrupted live video for folks without Amazon Prime. Then they removed 'no ads' as a Prime perk and added it to Twitch Turbo at $8.99 per month. Now they made it $11.99 To make it a bit better they started showing the

The big draw of Twitch is live content and interacting with chat, they just serve you an ad and not serve the stream content during that time. How could you skip it? Youtube can make it so that it stops serving content for 30 seconds and di

The video website will eventually have the upper hand by embedding the ads in the video stream like Twitch in that war you mention. Now at best you get a black screen while the ad runs and you block it.

And ray tracing on top of that, on a mobile GPU with low power budget. No way. Well maybe if the screen is 720p.
