+ * current use-case: fetching and storing the latest twitch subscribers and
+ * cheers.
+ * 
+ * should be able to utilise a bunch of existing code under /twitch, then just
+ * poke out an API for querying the information. SSE and websockets are
+ * unnecessary; stream-tools already has this. we just need a "kick-start" payload.
