Steph is a study in how power, even perceived can corrupt and is a good character study.
What power did Steph really have over twitch? Minimal. It's very interesting to see how quickly they became the internet prime target for bullying.
Stephen as we discovered him is dead. A deer carcass in the road.
A candle that burned twice as bright. Past the initial chimpouts, they were so boring no one wanted to keep track. No stream or video summaries ala Jim Sterling, no archival of every tweet like DSP.
Too boring to live, too obnoxious to die.
