On Monday, Twitch made public its intentions to decrease its staff size, indicating that even websites that appear to be flourishing in the streaming world are not exempt from the job cuts that have impacted the technological sector in recent times.

Approximately 400 workers at Twitch will be impacted by job cuts, which have been implemented with the intentions of improving the company's financial prospects over the long term. These layoffs are part of Amazon's overall strategy to reduce its workforce by 9,000 individuals in various departments including AWS cloud and advertising divisions.

As a result, in order to maintain a stable business, our new CEO, Dan Clancy, has made a hard decision to reduce the number of employees in our workforce.

Clancy made an announcement on the organization's blog only a few days after Twitch's CEO, Emmett Shear, revealed that he would vacate the position to have some family time. Clancy has been promoted from his post as president where he already handled the daily activities at the company to take the new chief executive role.
