I've tried the alternatives to Twitch (not like my 35 followers has me 'established' on Twitch anyways) but it's amazing with all the money involved how Youtube is basically the only option and not even a great one. gaming.youtube.com should be an amazing portal at this point instead of launching and then going backwards. Even failing to meet expectations that site should still be leveraging Stadia, partnering with other game marketplaces, the play store, etc and be the home of gaming on the internet. It's incomprehensible how disjointed their efforts are because all it would take is a modicum of fucking effort.
There's Facebook but it limits you to 720p until you have 100+ followers, which I'm sure friends and family could get me there, but makes me not even want to try because I'm not doing the content creation thing, I just want to be able to share with friends, make clips, etc. without having to do it all locally (and in real time is nice).
For example I can even stream or upload videos in 32:9 on Youtube:
But ultimately I just want to be able to make it easier to remind my buddy Ryan he's bad. Youtube is finally adding clips, but still not widely available:
I wonder if/when Valve will get involved in this stuff more. They've got their shitty pretend-live streams on games but I wonder if they've considered any partnerships to pipe in 'people playing this now' from one of the streaming services. Stick it right above the reviews.

Yeah I tried watching some of the FF14 vs WoW war on Twitch and it was aids seeing 8 hour livestreams and having to navigate them. It's easier to wait a day for YouTube clips.
Twitch need to get into shorter video hosting like YouTube and have user tools to split and edit those giant streams easily.

No shit this is the best thing to come from any of this, Doc can actually play with some of his friends again. Only ever saw him play with Lupo like once, but Tim he used to all the time. The banter was always A+ too.

Wasn't it some faggot awareness for cross dressing losers getting bullied or something? Hopefully the lack of anyone giving a shit teaches them they and their cause don't matter.

if youtube is serious and fixes their game streams specific UI vs just having it lumped in with "live", twitch should be very nervous
amazon gave those cucks way too much autonomy to fuck up their ecosystem
sounds like doc is going to take them for millions because of their pettiness as well, awesome

YouTube Live viewer extension: YouTube Livestreams Theater Mode
You can add BTTV emotes with this: Emotesly
It makes livestream viewing much much better.

Never heard of the guy, but he looks and sounds like he could be the poster boy for Gaad Saad's "sneaky fucker" theory.

Interesting argument by Devin Nash: Youtube doesn't want a browsable directory of gaming streams, because it fosters a "winner takes all" when viewers flock to the top streams only. They maybe want to fix it with search/recommendation technology.
Pro: It's a real problem Twitch hasn't solved yet.
Con: Youtube can push any content creator Youtube wants inorganically onto their users. So instead of "winner takes all" we get "crowned by Youtube".

Whatever happened with Doc ( Did we EVER find out what happened other than Doc is based and not a fag? ), Twitch thought they could isolate him and bring his fall.
He survived that and now with his bud( s) able to play, will build back better. Sorry Joe, you tried.

Did this Arcadum guy just accuse all of his accusers of being mad he cut them off because his wife found out? That's how I read it.

he's filing a lawsuit against twitch but i don't think any of the details have been revealed, usually the records are unknown to the public until the trial period (to give time for the groups to settle out of court first).
I'd guess Amazon just pays doc off at some point rather than go to trial, since he could dredge up a lot of shit into the public record they would want to keep private like financials, etc.
it is a crazy time right now, like hot sports team where there's only like 1000 or so streamers who are "big" and the 2 platforms are deciding who to strategically poach and how much its worth. Its crazy timing wise, since many have 2-5 year exclusive contracts signed already. I remember Goliathan or something was a HUGE destiny streamer like 2 years ago, then facebook paid him like $1-2m to go stream exclusively on them. He probably could have cut a $5m+ deal today if he had just waited.
Timing is everything I guess.
