Which article are you evaluating?
Twitch (service)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it briefly explains one of the most lucrative streaming services in the world. It is becoming a normal career for people in my generation. I want to shine light on it, also highlight the impact it has on our culture and the way we use technology. There are a lot of double standards and racial issues that go on within the twitch community and I felt it was important to try to inform people about those situations. I think that it is a career that should be spoken about more, even though it is still looked down upon by the general public. I do not think a lot of people know about what happens on twitch and how it plays a role in politics and real world problems in our society. I also felt like there was a lot left out in the Twitch article and I think I can further explain the environment of Twitch.

Evaluate the article
The twitch article explains how the service was created. It identifies the components of the service so the reader can know what they are looking at if they were to go. The strengths of the article is the amount of information it provides about Twitch's background. It makes it clear to the reader what Twitch's purpose was for their audience. The article is easy to read because it is not that long and each segment is short, compared to a lot of Wikipedia articles. This article does not provide good images for the reader. It only has four photos in the article to describe twitch and I think that is detrimental for the reader to understand Twitch. I think the article can be improved by speaking about the streamers who work on Twitch, it is an environment for everyone. There are so many different kinds of communities within Twitch and there is a creator for any category. It is not written about in this article. I would include some of the most watched streamers and provide some of the content they create on Twitch so that the reader can visually see it. The article is neutral, it does not go out of its way to bash the platforms. It seems like the sole purpose is to explain what Twitch is to the reader. I think that the article is well developed because it gives in-depth information about Twitch and how it progressed to be a successful streaming service.
