Twitch has monthly 'subscriptions' for popular streamers (roughly 300-500+ concurrent viewers, from what I've heard), at $5/mo, and Twitch takes some portion of that. They are pretty good at monetizing.

Steam has so much value add beyond just its storefront, which is still the biggest in gaming. The community features are the most important - being able to see who's playing what and more importantly, being able to join their server, i

There's a huge difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. There's no real way to engage with somebody who willfully tries to remove that distance. It is also very much possible to be anti-Semitic and pro-Israel, but I won&
