EPTIn 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".

This isn't really as big of a deal as people are making it out to be. But people love dat drama. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

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

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). | ||

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. | ||

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. 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" | ||
