One cool thing about decentralization is the higher costs incurred to copyright trolls. No longer can they comb through a single corp platform raising the alarm on violations, they'll have to spend some effort searching wider, sometimes dealing with uncooperative admins, hydra effect within the same fed network, etc. I can see forces pulling in both directions, not sure where it'll land.

Imho hosting costs, community moderation, federation politics are the larger elephants in the room. Copyright has always been just a suggestion, the huge platforms are the exception.

Some advertising restrictions that would've been a nightmare for many streams that bake ads into their video, eg events like agdq as well, not just individuals.

But did twitch not back down, or have I been bamboozled by lip service again?
