Last I had heard, advertising is still a disaster at Amazon and Twitch still costs more to run than it brings in.

AIUI, ads brings in revenue roughly equivalent to AWS. The problem is that it’s user hostile and violates the customer obsession LP (among others).

If you consider 1/4 of the revenue to be roughly equivalent.

And that's revenue. We still don't know about profitability.
