unlikely as AFIK Amazone hasn't fully folded Twitch into it's structures additionally:
Firstly Twitch due to historic reason is less likely to have any personal bloat.
Secondly running a streaming platform isn't cheap (media live cross decoding, high data transfer, more requirements for the data transfer due to less buffering, still moderation and copyright detection, some licenses with big copyright holders etc.) and from why I have heard twitch isn't doing that well (through not terrible).
Thirdly there was a influx of live streaming usage during COVID which now likely is receding.
Fourthly it relies a lot on people not just subscribing but "gifting" money (bits, subs) to streamers for little return besides bragging rights, a thanks maybe some emotes and feeling good because of the gift. In a economy which feels more unstable people are less likely to want to spend money this way, or can't even if they want to.
I would guess Twitch has more reasons for cost cutting then Amazone, but at the same time I would guess in different to Amazone Twitch is more likely to be negatively affected by the layoffs.
