    The worst part about twitch ads is that, unlike tv, or YouTube, you MISS CONTENT. You're not just getting interrupted, you miss up to 3-4 minutes of context. Imagine watching TV then missing parts of the show, so yu get back from the ad break and dont know wtf is going on.

    You know you've royally fucked up when YouTube suddenly has more consumer-friendly practices than your platform
  • @ianflanders5096
    Considering how Amazon treats their employees, it's no wonder this is how they treat their streamers.
  • This is why i’m a VOD watcher and always have been. Just feels like i’m watching a longer unedited youtube video and with funny chat messages to boot.

    Youtube vs. Twitch is the dumbest competition between rivals ever. It's like watching two ship captains taking turns to poke holes in their own ships, while the rats scurry back and forth based on which one is the least waterlogged.
  • Twitch actually makes YouTube look like a sensible site, that is an impressive feat.

    What YT needs to do in my opinion is:
    - add a "live now" section on the main page (talking browser currently) where you're shown people who are live and are either people you've subscribed to, or are people streaming similar content to what you watch (YT already has a decent enough algorithm for that)
    - also they can modify their algorithm to increase discoverability a bit by favoring smaller streamers who are streaming the content the user is interested in (let's say 50% of the recommendations are mid-to-large size streamers and the other 50% are smaller streamers). It would increase discoverability for new people, but also not neglect the larger people
    - add some kind of indicator when watching someone's videos if that person is live (small banner above the video saying "{user} is currently live! Click here to go to their stream", or an animated button in the video overlay)
    - improve the overall UI of the streams (could just base it off of Twitch's UI, they can't sue them for having a similar-looking UI as long as it's different enough)

    Then they can just sit back and watch Twitch die out while their pockets are being filled with all the old revenue Twitch was making + the revenue from new people making it on the platform + the ad revenue from more content being created on the platform. And while YT is far from being perfect in terms of moderating the community, it sure as hell is a lot better than Twitch which is straight-up biased and gives different punishments for the exact same offense to different people, which would just bring them even more interest.

    We needed this video. I'm a Twitch partner and was only staying for a potential 70/30 split. This announcement was the opposite of what I wanted to hear so I think it's YouTube time :)
  • @localmenace3043
    This was a wild pipeline from “possible chess cheater with anal beads” to “Twitch downfall”.
  • @nugnug501
    Wow there are so many plot twists in this Twitch saga... Can't wait to see how the writers tie this back to the anal beads subplot

    "Twitch chat is better than YouTube chat"
    Twitch chat is literally just people spamming the exact same things on cooldown across all Twitch channels and flooding the chat with emotes for 5 minutes every time absolutely anything happens. It's a horrible, miserable experience of hundreds of people trying to get noticed by the streamer while simultaneously being part of some hivemind.

    We went from "Is Youtube Killing Twitch" to "Twitch is Dying" in a week. Really shows how life hits you fast huh...
  • @aidanr.8324
    It's interesting to see how hard Twitch is trying to kill all of their business. It's actually insane. Senseless bans, cutting revenue, blatant double standards, it's nuts.
  • @weakamna
    One thing with youtube that I love is that streams are seamlessly integrated into their video "flow". Missed the beginning of the stream? watch 10 minutes behind if you don't care as much about being live, or, rewatch it as a video later, immediately after the stream is done, since it's just a video now
  • @nayahinnacut
    Can we acknowledge how good Charlie is at making analogies. "a man who came home early from work who found his wife cheating on him, i was devastated". How am I supposed to feel this pain tho.... forever lonely
  • @shinehop
    I'm actually impressed by Twitch because i had never seen this amount of controversy in one site, all at the same time, is like they actually found the perfect formula for their demise in a week or two.
  • @Rinetteable
    I agree with others who have said this: Amazon is so greedy they could make Walmart blush. It's not surprising that they're taking more money from creators without giving anything in return.
  • @gigitrix
    10:30 you point out a great thing here - when ads are organically placed they are an absolute win win in terms of the streamer getting paid but viewers trusting and understanding that they aren't missing anything. And for those who are still annoyed by the ad content itself, they can sub. As it is today though you see ads in most twitch contexts and you feel you are completely missing content which is massively disruptive, degrades the quality of a stream and ultimately increases the bounce rate which probably ultimately does more harm than good in terms of the bottom line growth etc
  • @GMPranav
    YouTube's player is far far superior than twitch as well. You can instantly seek back forth in the middle of watching a stream, hit the 'live' button anytime to go back. This seems like a very basic feature and it's mind boggling that the #1 streaming platform doesn't have yet. So in case any content was missed due to ads, you can go back, play at 1.5x or so speed, and then you'll be in sync with live soon.
