  • So, I migrated to 5.x and I don’t know if it was just me, or a change in the WebUI or something, but Sonarr stopped wanting to pull files in. I’ve been holding out on the Sonarr upgrade because last I looked at it, it wouldn’t auto-migrate you over, etc.

    But when I went to upgrade it - it said that now auto-migrates, and it does. However, the old migrated rules looked kinda dirty, so I was panicking a little. The imported/converted stuff all worked, mind you, I just didn’t like how they looked. In the end, I ended up really really liking the new Sonarr system, though I did have to ask an LLM how to format some new regex.










  • I’m saying that Amazon has no monetary interest in Twitch.

    Taxes are monetary losses. Twitch is providing monetary benefit to Amazon. That is their ‘success’. That IS their survival.

    AWS is only cheap for them artificially. You keep replying as if Twitch needs to make a profit to be ‘successful’. It doesn’t. It doesn’t need AWS to be artificially cheap either. You’re missing the forest for the trees.


  • Twitch provides value to Amazon by operating at a loss and paying for AWS on the back end, Twitch might appear less profitable (or even operate at a loss), AWS still records revenue from the transactions. You’re looking at the surface, where Twitch needs to be individually profitable. Companies use shells like this in far deeper ways for their own tax benefits.

    This allows Amazon to shift their tax burden to a company that’s operating “at a loss”, and keep the revenue with AWS and show record profits.

    Companies wouldn’t just buy others up, intending that all they do is cause harm. Twitch is being leveraged in deeper ways.
