Ultimately all of these content owners want to vertically integrate their way past platforms. It's not for existing successful platforms to prop up fledgeling streamers. Many of whom will go the way of Eleven Sports who you would have had propped up by both Sky and Virgin driving up the costs they have with their own content owners.
Well, yes, of course they are, but I agree they could do better. Even so, they are leaving Virgin, who initially took the lead, well behind.

You can quote Eleven Sports as much as you like, but their failure in the UK does not come near to proving your point. Any business can fail. Vice TV didn’t do too well over here either, did it?

Existing platforms need to support streamers, which are the key to the future. Those who do not will suffer the fate they deserve.

Technology is a fast moving industry and you either keep up or fall by the wayside.
