I noticed a few weeks ago my photos stopped coming to my photo stream. Upon further investigation it appears Apple has discontinued photo stream. My ipod touch does not have a "photo library" so I can no longer use this ipod to view photos! Why does Apple make devices obsolete this way? Now I need to purchase a new ipod in order to use photo stream unless someone has another suggestion. Thanks in advance

There are no more iPods. Apple discontinued the 7th-generation iPod Touch in May 2022.
You could probably buy an unlocked iPhone, never sign up with a phone company for cellular service, and then use the iPhone as if it were an iPod Touch. When I bought my iPhone, I had to wait for my carrier to mail me the nano-SIM. As I recall, I could use everything but cell-phone-related functions while I was waiting.
Whether you get new hardware or not, My Photo Stream is dead. iCloud Photos is very much alive – and a new iPhone or iPad would be able to use iCloud Photos.

I believe that you can use iTunes or Finder synchronization to load photos onto the iPod Touch for viewing. And Image Capture to pull photos off of the iPod Touch.
Old ipod touch and photo stream
