Twitch currently has a pretty effective moderation method for making sure certain topics or games don't get featured on their platform.

For example, you can be in a bikini, that's fine, but you can't show feet.

You also can't play the socom games from PS2, because of the idea of glorifying terrorists. Since if they win, the announcer says "terrorists win".

The point I'm making is, these are abstract concepts that need human monitoring. It wouldn't be that hard to add twitter/X conversations to that list.

So like, if you have a twitter, you can't use your twitter on your away screens, or talk about it on stream. The same way you can't give out an only fans link.

And twitch is owned by amazon. If they REALLY wanted to piss off musk, they could buy bluesky and make it the official microblogging service for all amazon owned services.

So if you have an amazon account, now you have a bluesky account.

And all the actors who act in yhe prime shows? They get signed into bluesky exclusive interaction contracts. Where they only interact with fans on bluesky.

As for CVS? They're a struggling drug store chain. Amazon already owns whole foods. A grocery store. Would it really be too far out of the realm of plausibility to see them adopt CVS into their too big to fail ecosystem?

Wouldn't the same apply to Counter-Strike? Did they change it since the last time I played ages ago?

It is unlikely that Amazon will buy Bluesky, but it is likely that Amazon will do its own fork of Bluesky.
