While that’s true, you’re speaking to an earlier time in the internet.
Today, the internet has evolved into a two layered system, where a centralized “social” layer (for lack of a better term) sits on top of the underlying decentralized layer.
Today, anything of consequence happens on the top layer. You can still run a forum on your own, just like you did in the 90’s. Barely anyone will join.
Yes, Twitch is a private company and can do what it wants. Of course they can. But it only takes a few platforms to completely erase a person from any significant social digital interaction. It’s not a good thing.
