honestly it's amazing that twitch even exists, that has got to be the worst run site on the internet. everyone in charge is a loving idiot and the furry controversy a while ago should've sunk it dead. so basically it'll last until someone finally fucks up enough to kill the site.

Like everything else performed: for as long as there's an audience for it.

I know a guy who does it full-time as a job, he's more or less confirmed that most of his views are repeats from his hardcore fans who just can't get enough.

I can't have marathon gaming sessions anymore, I don't enjoy it.

I can usually play for a max of 3-4 hours and then I need to go do something else for a while. Maybe go get drunk with friends and then come home with dutch courage/motivation to play for a few more hours before i pass out on my keyboard.
