“Streaming platforms” are not the problem. Big Tech is the problem.
For New Yorkers? He's talking directly to people who he is responsible for. Maybe you should be educating those people on the impact of big tech like Amazon owning Twitch. They're worried about grocery prices and getting to work on time so they don't get fired and lose their only source of healthcare. They're dealing with unfair labor laws and apparently a horrible landlord regime. I support any effort you make towards that kind of advocacy, but you are up against stiff competition for their attention, and therefore his.
I am aware of the issue. I don't use Twitch. I will not watch Mamdani on Twitch. I am just letting you know, you need to talk to lawmakers about this and pressure them. This guy's job is literally to listen to his constituents. Apparently, his constituents are speaking on Twitch. Amazon owns The Washington Post, Amazon TV, MGM, and Twitch. This is not good. Write your representatives and keep spreading awareness.
Why can’t he be?
Not saying he can't. I'm saying whether or not he is. He's the Mayor of New York City, not a senator or any other kind of law maker. It's like saying "why didn't Obama do medicare for all?" Well did congress propose that? He signs laws, not write them. That is the job of a lawmaker. Mayors and all other offices of governing are not offices of lawmaking unless your name is Trump apparently.
