"That was crowd noise getting flagged, not music."

In reference to the DOTA 2 vids getting flagged.

Dear god. Next they will start flagging people who talk when they stream. "Sounds too much like artist x".

Unite to complaint about VoDs we weren't really watching breaking? I mean, the crowd noise issue was fixed already, so it sounds like most of the problems are being dealt with very quickly. This isn't really as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.

But people love dat drama.

You keep saying that but you didn't have an answer when I said ~70% of my twitch usage was VODs.

Or how we will get to watch 100s of older tournaments now? SC2, DOTA, LoL, CSGO, MTG, etc etc. Stream marathons? Gone. Speedrun events? Gone.

Regardless of how/if the current controversies get resolved, I think we can all agree that we all benefit from competition in this space.

Usually the Speedrun events and major tournaments post their videos on Youtube. So you are able to watch them, it's going to be the random streams where they just play games with no highlights in the session.

That is sad, but from twitch's point of view its a pure business decision and that storage was likely costing them a lot with little return. And as long as the stuff was flagged as a highlight, it won't be deleted. The new two our limit is only on new stuff. The process of deleting hasn't even started yet, so people have time to flag their stuff. The only way you will miss out of things is if the people who recorded the broadcast don't flag it as a highlight in the next three weeks.

I would rather companies provide services they can afford, rather than give us the moon and then go out of business one day and we lose everything.

I still think this is a wake-up call of sorts.

We should give other stream services a chance, whether it's livestream or hitbox.tv or something else.

I sort of agree with TB on this one and folks should have seen this coming. Unlimited VOD storage was not going go happen forever and the same with being able to place licensed music. It will happen to every service no matter who they are, because its how copyright works. People are going to have to pick what they want to keep, rather than just save everything like pack rats.

And all the other streaming services are kinda trash or shady. Hitbox might be ok, but I don't trust the folks from Owned until they have proven they can pay people.

I don't really know/care about the Owned CEO controversy, but tech-wise hitbox is miles ahead of the old Owned and quite a bit ahead of twitch, worldwide server coverage notwithstanding (although they said on their blog that they do have a worldwide network set up).

It'd be a shame if it turned out to be the same person's moneygrabbing scheme all over again.

Apparently it's the guy who took over as CEO of Own3d after all the crap had started going wrong, and was trying to sort it out, and not the guy who started Own3d and made everything go tits up. Apparently. Unsourced (Reddit).

I'm more concerned about the VoD change. Makes sense and it will remove a lot of stress on the servers but I hope there aren't a bunch of classic tournaments etc lost forever because they forgot/were unable to get the VoDs chopped up.

The music industry had long since had my sympathies since they started paying these companies to implement scorched earth automated flagging etc. I'm not against flagging as a concept, but this implementation is horrible.

Them not properly monetizing vods really, really doesn't seem like a reason to remove them. An advertisement plays at the beginning of every stream or vod, and I think you grossly underestimate how much of twitch's use came through VoDs. I personally probably spend 30% of my time on twitch watching VoDs.

If I had to put my future-predicting pants on, I'd expect a great google merger that allows you to have your twitch, youtube, google+ and everything associated with google all linked under a single profile. So VoDs won't be "gone", just the "highlight" button will change to "highlight to youtube" or something similar.

A streamer I follow has a pretty good attitude towards all of this, though. "Give twitch a week. If it's still awful, or if it's worse in a week, let's start looking for alternatives. To get so fired up about a couple obvious mistakes seems both premature and immature"

This was my favorite comment from the AMA. The person asking the question was such a troll through the whole thing and this sort of comeback is awesome.

Not really his fault that the classic question for that fallacy is a bit crass.
