why on earth would we WANT to limit the number of streams available?

Well now you're just asking me to stretch my imagination.

You're a petty, petty person who got into an argument with the local ice-cream man. Through nefarious means, you obtained info on his life, his habits, his desires, and you discovered that his only joy in life was to watch his favorite streamer using the only connection he had available: his phone.

It was a small channel, not many followers and never peaking 200 concurrent viewers, so you devised a plan. Change the app, limit streams and draw the line high enough so that the ice-cream man would never again be able to enjoy his one true passion.

You bastard.

I like to think that he walks down the halls high-five'ing people as he passes them.

If it's true, don't respond.

Damnit, I was kind of just assuming you wouldn't get around to responding to this and that I could go on living with the illusion.

It depends on how integral you were to the creation of this process. Just becuase you don't have the capital to exploit the market doesn't mean you shouldn't be compensated more fairly for an idea that presumably couldn't have been done without you. It also depends on how tidy that sum is. In the case of comic artists, some of them were barely paid a rate that seems fair even if the IP didn't blow up to make billions.

In my opinon, it should be the default for any inventor or creator to share ownership and at least a tiny share of the profits for anything that they had a conceptual hand in. That seems morally fair, because just as you could not execute the proliferation of the glue dispenser without that capital from your employers, they could not do the same without your ideas and expertise. Currently we are placing a higher value on the money than on the idea, and the only reason that we can do that is because money is analagous to getting by. You need to feed your family, you need a roof over your head, you need to pay your medical bills. So because society is not geared to take care of many of us, the money has a weighted value over the creativity that, in my opinon, is not the best way to structure a fair and moral society when it comes to valuing labor.

An rts still has more micro than a moba. Moba skillsets are almost entirely based on communication and coordination.
