Dr Disrespect has warned that the demise of Twitch is “inevitable” in a reply to Trainwreck’s Kick streaming platform announcement.
It’s no secret that Dr Disrespect isn’t a fan of Twitch, which he often refers to as the “purple snakes.”
Although the two settled a legal dispute surrounding his 2020 ban from the platform earlier in 2022, the Two-Time has continued to share his thoughts and opinions about the Amazon-owned platform.
On December 5, Trainwreck provided an update on his new streaming platform – Kick – and mentioned how profitable Twitch is — but Doc had a few words to say about it.

“There’s one thing completely wrong in your update Train…. The purple snakes are nowhere near being profitable. It’s a money pit for Amazon. A big one,” the YouTube streamer tweeted. “The platform is stapled together by the mere existence of only a handful of creators and their communities. It’s inevitable.
The last two words in his tweet, “It’s inevitable,” are likely regarding the demise of Twitch as a platform.
Over the last few months, an increasing number of streamers on the platform have expressed their distaste towards Twitch as YouTube Gaming continues to launch new creator-friendly features.
However, it’s entirely unknown whether or not anything will happen to Twitch in the future — so we’ll have to wait to see if Doc’s intuitions are right.
