 Wow for example has the blizzard sponsored servers which you pay subscription for.

There are numerous community built private servers offering different versions of the game, some original & some modded, which offer a different experience and are typically free.

These servers are gaining in popularity as blizzard is incompetent in actually delivering a game/community that people like and want to play on.

Blizzard is definitely working with twitch/YouTube to remove all content from said private servers. Content creators can’t stream these private servers on centralized streaming platforms without risk of ban.

Here’s an example of a private server.

 Well zap.stream is still new so it's unlikely that we would gain the attention of content owners, even so, zap.stream can be obliged to take down certain streams, there is however the option to do a "manual stream" using another provider and still interact with that stream on any of the supporting clients.

You could host your own stream like @SoccerStreamstr🏴‍☠️ or use another service like Cloudflare Stream, Mux or any other streaming provider supporting HLS stream outputs
