It sounds like we can rule out a google buy out.

I love this part:

Twitch's main concern, according to the Verge, is that it couldn't handle its explosive growth. Twitch's previous investors actually offered hundreds in millions in new funding, but the company felt the big investment alone wasn't enough. Instead, Twitch decided it needed to piggyback on a much larger company to scale its technology and infrastructure to match its growth, and both Google and Amazon offered that possibility.

Many of Twitch's top broadcasters stream for money. Viewers can either subscribe to individual channels for varying amounts, or they can make direct donations. (One viewerreportedly gave a popular World of Warcraft streamer a $10,000 contribution.)
