LET’S FUCKING GO

EDIT: If this allows the existence of a FOSS Twitch alternative, this is a blessing in disguise

    We bring to you today an extremely poggers leak:

    Twitch is an American video live streaming service that focuses on video game live streaming, including broadcasts of esports competitions, operated by Twitch Interactive, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc.

    Their community is also a disgusting toxic cesspool, so to foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space, we have completely pwned them, and in part one, are releasing the source code from almost 6,000 internal Git repositories, including:

    Entirety of twitch.tv, with commit history going back to its early beginnings Mobile, desktop and video game console Twitch clients Various proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch Every other property that Twitch owns including IGDB and CurseForge An unreleased Steam competitor from Amazon Game Studios Twitch SOC internal red teaming tools (lol)

    AND: Creator payout reports from 2019 until now. Find out how much your favorite streamer is really making!

    Jeff Bezos paid $970 million for this, we’re giving it away FOR FREE.

    Can’t expect others to respect our licenses if we don’t do the same, so let’s make our own twitch with blackjack and hookers.

    Also, this looks pretty massive.

      The interest here isn’t in using the proprietary Twitch source code to build competing services. Rather, this code offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of one of the Anglosphere’s most significant social media platforms. A chance perform a concrete analysis of all the anti-patterns, surveillance mechanisms, and information controls which characterize modern platform capitalism. A chance to measure our paranoia against the state of the art of corporate social media.

      It would be even cooler if we could dig through the code of Facebook, Google, or Twitter, but Twitch is close enough where we could extrapolate a lot of insights and better understand the state of the industry.
