Crazy isn't it. You think that's mad, people pay sky £50 a month to watch people play football. They don't even get to play themselves for that. Madness!!

Erm, I have Amazon Prime, use Twitch but couldn't justify another subscription to another service, along with Netflix etc. I am now able to subscribe to Twitch for free, and support my favourite streamers....Win Win, and I didn't know about it before.
Thanks OP for bringing this to my attention. Makes Prime more worth it.

Twitch is the biggest gaming streaming platform in the world.
It is now owned by Amazon. (They paid $970 million for that pleasure).
People can stream themselves playing video games and other people can watch, as well as interact with eachother.
A lot of people have made a living of streaming video games.
Viewers can support their favourite streamers by subscribing to a streamer channel which costs $4.99 a month or by donating to them.
And then there's 'pro gaming', where people compete against each other in lan tournaments for large prize pots, some even millions. The most popular games are team based games which means the prize money is split between 5-6 people. One team of players made £1 million each from £5 million prize winnings.

YouTube but live, and all the videos are people playing games. it's a crazy world we live in when people will happily spend multiple times a TV licence a month just to sub several of they're favourite channels, but at least they get the choice :wink:
This is amazing saves me £13 a month, as it was 7.99 before for no ads and 4.99 for a sub
