Twitch are doing their part!

Crazy how these huge companies are blind to what we can see so clearly.

The bigger and older a company gets the more bloat in diversity retards and incompetents they have making it harder to pivot. Also currently the money twitch makes is a drop in the bucket compared to youtube.

If you had a job making $500k a year and I said yo Kyougou Kyougou wanna earn another $20 you really wouldn't give a shit.

There's also too big of a divide from the people making the decisions and the actual reality of the business.

The more your company grows... the bigger that divide becomes and it ends up in a silly game of telephone.
Whatever word reached the top its already impossible to understand and... obviously... profit dictates everything.

Twitch emotes are more generous if you care about that sort of thing. I think someone with huge numbers only gets like 8 on youtube or something silly.

Chat is so fast and spammy for the popular folk I don't know how they even see anything. Popularity on twitch almost seems to be inversely proportional to your audience's IQ.

I see two large communities on youtube: The overwatch league which is full of mindless spam spiced by occasional wisdom which rapidly sinks beneath the dark waves. VTubers; I know most of you hate them, but their chat is surprisingly calm and polite (unless you piss off the Chinese). I think Hololive has good moderators on staff.

One of the big draws of twitch subs is that you can use a subscribed channel's emotes on other channels but I don't know if the same applies to youtube. I've never done a youtube membership thing.

How was gambling ever allowed on twitch? It seems crazy to me!
Its so obvious that casinos would give these high profile streamers house money to bet... they are just billboards to make their viewers join and lose their money!
Funny how this played out years ago and its only a problem now. From 2016;

Twitch needs to step it's drama game up, this high school level fuck fuck he said she said shit or gambling faggot shit, or crying about someone saying a gamer word in 1998 is retarded.

We need some east coast/ west coast drive rivalry. I need some American Inventord in jail, I need to see a pregnant pineapple in ass thot trying to figure out which soy streamer is the baby daddy. This shit doesn't even live up to old Jerry Springer hype. Twitch is nothing but soyfag shit. I am disappoint.

Edit:
What YouTube could do is offer some kind of easy editing of vods into an highlight reel and then post it as a video on your account.
Which is kind of already how most big streamers on twitch operate, so YouTube could take advantage of that to attract newer streamers.


This is already there thru the Creator Studio, you can even have stream videos auto de-listed so they can be edited later..

And Yes there are full stream 10+ hour videos avail..

Like everyone has said, the issue with YT is finding streams.. it's kind of odd finding them if you are not subbed to someone..

Google is really controlling with search.

Like when you search for games on Google Play, it's extremely difficult to filter results by anything other than a few broad genres. They want you to only see the curated algorithm list.

Supposed to be a recap of the drama on twitch... but I feel a little bias.
Unsure... since I don't follow it all that well... but was enticed by the idea of a 20mnt version of it all.

If you look at it from the other way around, currently you can direct donate (through a third party) and that nets you exactly nothing more than whatever alert the streamer has set up. Something, even temporary, is more than nothing. Not sure why Twitch would incentivize this type of donation though since they don't get a cut out of them, or maybe they want to have a manager for direct donations, like streamlabs or streamelements has, and will take a cut off them.

That gets most of it but misses some stuff that came out in the past couple days. Like the stream Maya did laughing about the wannabe Weinstein guy being a creep to her friend
