Well, everyone ion the business knows what's going on with twitch and the streaming-market at the moment. So no reason really to explain further I guess?

> So, they are growing, but not growing faster than some [arbitrary] goal?

Actually, in the last months they were shrinking. Partly because viewership around this time of the year is always shrinking for reasons, but this time even more, because pandemia inflated the market, and now as it's ending, the inflation also disappears. Overall, there is still growth compared to the time before the pandemia, but nobody really knows how it will hold until the end of the year. Additionally, the gaming-markted is being a wild mix at the moment, and most attempts of twitch to diversify their content have failed. So they are a bit clueless at the moment I guess how the ship will move and grow.
