Part 6/9:
Despite Amazon’s reported 10% increase in annual sales, questions linger about Twitch's profitability. Acquired for $970 million in 2014, the platform has yet to turn a profit, leading to speculation that Amazon may reconsider its investment. The overall strategy of Amazon has shifted towards eliminating underperforming divisions, and Twitch's lack of profitability places it at risk.
As Amazon restructures in response to economic pressures and operational losses, Twitch remains under scrutiny for its lack of clear positive initiatives or growth. The overall concern is mounting whether the streaming service can withstand the financial pressures while simultaneously navigating social and political controversies.
