Leave IRL alone. Rather the fake gamers stay there then seeing someone top for a game only cause of a low cut shirt

And some of the IRL streams are pretty entertaining. There's a few bounty hunters I follow

Someone I was watching had a decent idea but I feel it wasn't finished.

IRL is fine, the issue is with categories.

The idea being that if they aren't going to ban every fucking titty streamer, there should be an adult section or something that accurately reflects "Adult in nature" skin streams. Stop making mindless rules that don't pertain to 90% of the twitch viewer and streamer.

The other 90% of the new rules are dumb as fuck, as a streamer my VIEWERS can get ME in trouble? Fuck off..

Conversations between 2 people can be considered ban-able in terms of content without context? Fuck off..

If you stream on twitch, 100% you should be using restream, watch chat with restream. Diversify your platforms.

What is your take on this? Seems to me twitch is responsible for what people stream since they are the means to give them a platform. Twitch making it the responsibility of a streamer of his/her stream seems reasonable to me, including the community.

You should look into the CDA of 1996 specifically section 230(c).

Did that change with youtube though?

My memory is super foggy relating to it but Youtube lost several suits that connected them to the content they were hosting. It was one of the defining factors of having an MCN and content strikes. That was less about CDA and more about Copyright Infringement though with DMCA.

I assume that means that content NOT related to DMCA is up for self regulation unless those previous suits against youtube changed the way the law was implemented.

In RE: content abuses being attached to creators VS to the individual performing the abuse. This is purely a SJW move, Twitch, Youtube, and most streaming platforms are based in SJW fields in SJW locations using money from people who want to protect their investment, meaning no things that spark on an SJW radar.

What makes me wonder is that IF twitch goes through all their content and bans a TON of people from long-standing accounts. Will there be a platform for those people to go to after the ban? THAT platform will be super successful.

From what I recall the primary exceptions to the CDA section 230(c) relate to IP, and not defamation, pornography, etc. So in that sense yes copyright cases would be IP and so the immunity under the CDA is more limited/murky.

I've noticed this week that I can no longer watch overwatch league games at 60 fps. My I5 cpu just can't keep up anymore. I have to back it down to 720/30 to keep it smooth.

You sure its not your ISP/bandwidth, 900p60 ~7000 kbps I think whereas 720p30 is like 2500 kbps

That is a problem during the day on my rural isp, but in the AM hours I can handle fullspeed. The chrome taskman shows the twitch tab pegged, hilariously it's often above 100%.

I did swap out an ATI r9 for an nvidia recently. I know gpu hardware can do motion comp and idct but I have no idea if the stone age web people know how to use that stuff.

My guess is they will settle this out of court so they dont have a flood of ex-streamers doing the same thing.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but for maximum deterrence wouldn't they want to crush this guy in court? Settling to me seems like it would encourage more suits as people think "Well Twitch will settle for less than I'm suing for but at least I get something"?

Have you tried Streamlink and Streamlink Twitch GUI at all? Let's you pipe browser video streaming services like Twitch to a media player such as VLC or MPV.

It is really nice to get media player classic stats on this. Like I'm watching the overwatch pit championship and in 3 minutes I've dropped 200 frames. But I can watch the buffers and the frame drops are due to the buffers emptying out, not a cpu thing. Kind of to be expected mid day. I'm supposed to get 12mbit but it gets a bit clogged during the day.
