Ah yes, /r/technology, the only technology subreddit on reddit. There certainly has never existed a https://www.reddit.com/r/technews/, or / https://www.reddit.com/r/technewstoday/ or a bunch of more technology subreddits. No. Of course there ever only was /r/technology. No fragmentation whatsoever on reddit.

I mean, it’s pretty easy to calculate, and you’ll have to calculate it yourself because it depends on your area. And also what you mean with “decent wage”.

• Figure out your “decent wage”
• See what your local tax rate is for one-person-businesses, from that calculate how much money you actually need to make before taxes to get your desired amount after taxes
• divide by 50% (or 70% if you get the new deal) to adjust for twitch’s share
• divide by sub cost (5$) to get the amount of subscriptions needed.

So idk, 2000$ is “decent wage” local tax rate is about 30% so 2857.14$ needed, with twitch share it’s 5714.28$, divided by 5$ per subscribtion it’s 1143 subscribers.

But as has already been said, there are other revenue sources for streamers, so you don’t need quite as many subscriptions.

Unciv

I mean in this case, you can decide between some theory based on no information at all but unaffiliated, or based on all information but biased.

There’s still a good chance that the downtime is unexpected, downtime in general is never good for a site that earns money by people being on it.

So I think the “unexpected” case is still more likely than it being intentional.

To expand, every user has their custom set of content that they want to see, which needs to be queried from the database. Mainly their subscriptions, those will rarely be the same between any two users, and they need to be aggregated according to the sorting method the user wants. Or other personal things, like every user’s messages/replies/notifications/settings.
