I hadn't even heard of twitch.tv until today, but apparently in USA it's amazingly popular

Twitch is huge. In an April report, it accounted for more than 40% of live-streaming traffic by volume in the U.S., according to online video analytics site Qwilt. That made it the No. 1 live-streaming platform by a large margin.

In February, Twitch was fourth in peak internet traffic in the U.S. after Netflix, Google, and Apple, respectively. At 1.8%, it was bigger than Hulu, Amazon, and Facebook in peak traffic.

My son loves Twitch - I think he even has an app on his phone to follow it. But really, so much money. These online acquisitions are getting out of hand!

You just take the money you should have paid in tax, and then buy a company with it. No brainer really.

Thought it was a Yorkshire TV remake of Bewitched.
