Amazone provides something like a "live streaming infrastructure service" which they sell to Twitch and others (including the competition like Kick).

For them buying Twitch was good as it allowed them to thoroughly test that service somewhat "in-house", have an initial customer for it to show what it can do etc.

But now that this is done for Amazone there is little value in Twitch, mainly:

- can it make profit (currently no)

- does it improve our image (surprisingly yes, a bit)

- does it allow us to sell more prime memberships (in the past for a short time yes, I don't think anymore)

- does it send bad signals if we shrink/close it now which could affect Amazone stock (somewhat, but if you slowly try to fix it show that you do and then if it doesn't work sell it probably no)
