Streaming News
Streamer.Guide reports daily on the live streaming industry: platform policy changes on Twitch, YouTube, Kick and TikTok, creator-economy deals and acquisitions, tournament and event results with verified viewership figures, and new streaming hardware. Viewership numbers are always attributed to a named source with the measurement window stated, so peak concurrents are never confused with averages or hours watched. Policy stories quote the platform's own announcement and say plainly what has not been confirmed. There are 255 articles in the current archive, newest first, and an RSS feed if you would rather not check back.

The three monitors behind every CS2 and Valorant pro, compared on the things that matter — 240Hz vs 360Hz vs 400Hz, DyAc⁺ vs DyAc 2, and what DyAc actually does to motion blur.

A dark-web listing advertised September 9 claims data on roughly 40,000 Twitch streamers — emails, legal names, follower counts — and researchers who sampled it say it looks scraped, not breached. The more serious story is a browser extension with ~31,000 users that forwarded OAuth tokens to attacker servers, which bypasses 2FA entirely. Twitch says neither came from its systems.
