Twitch As A Streaming Service
The problem is, every time I want to watch a movie or a TV show, I search online to find which streaming service does stream that movie, so many options and the cost pile up, usually I either pirate it or just forget about it.
So many streaming services, both in US and elsewhere, cost pile up and confusion happens.
Twitch and Prime Video -- both being held by the same mother Co., Amazon -- are positioned to create the best movies and streaming service there is.
The idea is, you would create a "Movies Library" on Twitch just like the "Category" section on the platform that has the different video games to stream, this library would be a mirror of the library of content on the platform "Prime Video".
I, as a user, would be able to create a Twitch channel to stream movies ONLY TO SUBSCRIBERS, I would make a business out of this channel, I subscribe to Prime Video AND to a new "Twitch Prime Streamer" subscription plan so that I am allowed to stream the lib from Prime Video to my subs.
I would create a schedule of streams and my channel's username could be something like "@HorrorStreams" or "@RomanceMovs" or the like.
I would run my computer during the times of streaming to stream the movie full screen no commentary directly from Prime Video.
If there is a user who wants to watch a movie but not pay for an entire monthly subscription to a streaming platform, the user can just go to Twitch and pick the movie from the library and go to a streamer who is streaming it, subscribe to that streamer, playback the VOD from the beginning and start watching.
Someone who loves a weekly weekend horror movies would subscribe paying 1 or 2 dollars a month to "@HorrorMovies" that has a public schedule of weekly or daily horror movies on Twitch.
Maybe allowing viewers to playback the stream from the beginning is too much control, but for a dollar I get to watch the movie I want with occasional ad breaks -- for snacks refill mid-movie -- I would totally do that and I do not mind the strict schedule where I have to attend to watch the movie on time because I can't roll it back to play from the beginning.
Then you would implement a feature where I can connect the schedule of "@HorrorStreams" to my calendar so that I can keep up with them.
The ideas are limitless, Twitch would be "THE STREAMING SERVICE".
Thanks.
