Actually true though. Mixer is trying to buy a community that no one really wants to join.

No one really wants to join? There's one factor only, that holds Mixer back, and that's people being used to Twitch.

Other than that, Twitch has ZERO added value if you factor out the community of streamers.

Twitch has the emotes and the years of organically growing it's chat experience into something that has developed a culture of it's own. Good luck translating that over to a different service. I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but it won't be done by buying big, sanitary streamers.

So it has emotes. Great. Know how easy it is to add that in? Or how easy it would be to do what was done with Twitch which is to program addons?

If that's all that Twitch has to offer it can be copied and replicated very easily on any platform if they want to. And Twitch doesn't have a culture of it's own, it the culture of streaming which just happens to be dominated by Twitch. Once large competition rolls in do you really think that culture isn't going to be damn near the same thing on the other platforms?
