To pivot Justin.tv, we realized we needed to talk to users to identify valuable use cases and directions for growth, particularly in gaming.

At Justin.tv, the relationship with users improved significantly when the founders started talking directly to streamers, asking them what they needed instead of relying on surveys or reports.

I invested in Justin.tv, which aimed to livestream everything, and while it struggled initially, it eventually pivoted to Twitch, focusing on video game streaming, which became a huge success.

Twitch started as Justin.tv, an online reality TV show, showing that initial concepts can evolve significantly over time.

When we pivoted from Justin.tv to Twitch, we had about 400,000 monthly active users, which was only 2% of Justin.tv's total user base, but it was the only content I was genuinely interested in running.

The idea for Justin.tv came from the realization that people were interested in what I was doing, even if I wasn't entertaining.

The initial idea for Justin.tv emerged from discussions about what to do with Yahoo, leading to the unconventional decision to live stream their lives, which eventually evolved into a platform for others.

I learned how to effectively talk to users, which is a crucial skill for startup founders, and realized that I hadn't truly understood this before launching Twitch.

At Justin.tv, we initially built a platform for livestreaming, but it was hijacked to stream inappropriate content, which was not our intention.
