Not shopping/ecommerce..oh and i never said that google is not a monopoly

>Twitch is restricted to a niche

Facbook, ~youtube, TikTok ist NOT Livestreaming...also not Zoom or Skype

>Biggest seller doesn't make a monopoly

When you (Amazon) can make the price because everything other is a loss for you (the producer)..yes then it is a monopoly

>How is AWS a monopoly there

Yes i wrote thats maybe the only point you are right

TikTok is not primarily livestreaming, but it does have live streams (with live chat overlay on top of video, looking very similar to live streaming interface of Instagram or Periscope)

So apparently TikTok Live is mostly a competitor to those two (and maybe YouNow) but not to widescreen/desktop-oriented streams of Twitch

YouTube Live on the other hand is very much a competitor to Twitch (livestreaming to millions and NOT auto-expiring/deleting past broadcasts by default is something only YouTube can do for now)
