@@gab_v250 both sides went to the absolute extreme in both directions and are now both case studies as to why neither total capitalism and total communism works
Telecommunication companies in Korea are very notorious. A long time ago, they demanded outrageous levels of Internet usage fees for Korean mobile phones. Eventually, one student who accidentally used the feature chose to commit suicide, and the telecommunication companies have not offered any apologies
As a Korean(not the best one)…yep..? I remember the time when we got maximum 720p in Twitch. It was horrible and everybody said “WTH is this”. It definitely did affect a lot to both streamers and viewers. However, we were trying to getting used to it cuz at least we could hear our favorite streamers’ voices clearly. And now, finally, this crazy issue burnt my house…😂 Twitch was a perfect live-streaming platform for both streamers & viewers. We could watch a lot of streamers from all around the world including my country. And everyone could be a streamer or viewers and communicate by chatting…Although we can use the alternative things, but it’s unclear whether we can use it well…😢
I dont think people realise how bad this is for the League of Legends community, which is the biggest Korean Twitch community... People from all over the world fly to Korea to stream League, they make money from Korean SoloQ, now its all gone.
..Unfortunately, Twitch Korea will end its streaming service in 2024.02. KT, SK, and LG South Korea telecommunications companies impose a lot of taxes on Twitch. They want their current semi-monopoly status. So, we have implemented a bill imposing excessive taxes on foreign companies. Twitch had to pay about 50 billion won (about $ 4 million) last year.
@@theelevatedone2536 Just because S.Korea wants to prioritize domestic streaming services over Twitch which wasn’t even profitable anyway compared to RU-vid and Netflix
@@fudgen.a1249 South Korea sounded like a great place to live as an American. I moved back to the US after a year. It's Cyberpunk over there, with Samsung being Arisaka. They play everything up for tourists but living there? It's probably fine for most born there, after all that's been their whole life. But moving to there from another country....
@@deadeye_john those are the really huge streamers, I'm talking about the 300 to 4k streamers who are very reliant on their Twitch community for income. I follow a number of these streamers. Today, one of them had a message saying. "Streaming till twitch shutdown, then decide what's next" that's how people are affected by these.
I never really cared much about Twitch, but that's only because i don't use it. I don't use Twitch, and i don't intend to get a Twitch account any time soon
@@3bodYking99sometimes people just want to spout theyre negative opinion even if its only tangentially related to the topic, this would be an appropriate time to say “who asked?”
well south korea is basically already a cyperpunk dystopia without the cyberpunk considering if my memory serves me right when you boil it down the biggest company's in korea basically own south korea
How is it even remotely based lol? Just up and destroyed some people's careers and of course taking away the freedom of South Koreans to watch reasonable content. It's understandable from an economic perspective sure, the country's policies have made business impossible, but "Based"?
Well, I think this is unique to Korea. Since other countries have laws against this happening. Wouldn't that be censorship and restriction on freedom of expression...?
@@moritzwalser Not when It's done through taxes apparently, It seems these laws tend to go in sneakily as most of the population are boomers who think it's a good idea or don't care and zoomers with no idea how to prevent this from happening or don't care, honestly no clue how to stop this either
korea is digging its own grave with this kind of protectionism. the few chaebols control the market and even the government. korea grew thanks to cheap internet in the 90s.
Why are you comparing a current goat of the tech industry,with one of the most fast developing nations in the world to a sub develop country that is mostly 90% of their economy based on agriculture
@@sim5090 South Korea is becoming a sh1thole with that fast developing they are doing. North Korea is peaceful and chill, no degeneracy like south korea has
@@PieterPeter-ud7wfNope. RU-vid is way too big in Korea, backed by a lot of businesses, for that to ever get scrapped. Twitch isn’t even profitable compared to YT
You need to talk about the furry nuclear lab breach. Essentially some furries breached a labs security to demand catgirl research. humanity has hit rock bottom
Humanity has really hit rock bottom, we shouldn't need a group of gay furry hacker to tell the government to make catgirls, *THEY SHOULD ALREADY BE ON THAT SHIT.*
Why the fuck would they breach a nuclear lab for that? Also, current genetics technology simply isn’t there for human embryos with cat features to be viable.
RU-vid Streaming is still a thing, most likely they'll just transfer over to youtube... Or by a bigger extent, move out of South Korea to another country where Twitch is still Legal, import everything they had on the Korean Web to where they went and they'll be up and running Either way based South Korea, proving to be better than North Korea in more ways than one
