Kinda suprised by this. I usually don't use twitch, but last time I was there practically all streams in the largest category were korean. Typically, tech firms don't mind red numbers as long as their user base is enormous.

It helps that they don't have any serious competitions at the moment but it's very naive to think this won't bolster a competitor enough to make some threat. I guess they feel untouchable with even YouTube struggling

I wonder if the new Twitch competitor that rises in Korea will get the TikTok treatment and our government will just ban it by name?
