Now you can broadcast yourself eating on Twitch
We've got no beef with that.

Quote:

Twitch has launched a new Social Eating category, and invited streamers to share their breakfasts, lunches and dinners in front of the camera.

Social eating is already popular in South Korea, where it is named "muk-bang" - literally, "eating broadcast".

Cooking the food yourself is sometimes part of a muk-bang, although often the food consumed is a takeaway.

It's still early days for western social eating, but there's already a service named TreatStream for viewers to send a food deliveries to UK, US and Canadian streamers to then eat on camera.

Twitch launched its social eating category officially last night, following the successful roll-out of other non-gaming sections such as music, art and crafts.

Already this morning we've seen a British ex-pat living in Australia chomp down 10 Chicken McNuggets and a French Texan pretend to be a hamburger. What a world we live in.

Twitch also added a new feature very similar to what you see on adult streaming sites. Those sites allow you to buy "tokens", which you can tip to streamers to give them money. Twitch created "bits", where you buy bits and tip them to streamers, also to give them money. For Twitch tho, it's not a terrible idea. Streamers were already getting donations through 3party sites, which meant Twitch didn't get a share of it. This is a way for Twitch to get a portion of the donations. But it seems like they take a rather large part of it (30%) compared to those 3rd party sites, and the comparison with porn websites is hard to miss.

Jeebuz 30%, greedy sons of bitches. Bet they'll try to make all those 3rd party donations go away... I'm fine they'd get some percentage out of it... but I guess an economist came up with that number.
