yeah, no. That's literally not what im saying at all.

For one my criticism is of Twitch the company, not twitch streamers.

Secondly im not saying they deserve unemployment, just i struggle to feel bad for them.

But yeah if you want to completely change my argument to you can be outraged over it, go ahead.

Argue about the specific degree all you want. You were still being an asshole.

Your response to 500 people losing their jobs in an ever increasingly dire job market was to say that twitch being bad is their fault and heavily implying they deserve to suffer. All you are doing is hemming and hawing to the degree because you got called out and realized what a massively shitty thing that is to do.

You can shit on a company without taking joy in the suffering of people just trying to survive in this end-stage capitalistic wasteland.
