Twitch says for the last 12 months, it has been working towards further sustainability as a business. To achieve this, it has cut costs and made decisions like letting go of staff to foster more sustainability and longevity for the streaming platform.<\/p>
\u201cLast year we paid out over $1 billion to streamers,\u201d the blog post shared by Twitch reads. \u201cSo while the Twitch business remains strong, for some time now the organization has been sized based upon where we optimistically expect our business to be in 3 or more years, not where we\u2019re at today. As with many other companies in the tech space, we are now sizing our organization based upon the current scale of our business and conservative predictions of how we expect to grow in the future.\u201d<\/p>
