Twitch, it seems, will suffer the same fate. I've heard that Google stopped doing this, or is planning to stop doing it. | ||

How many of their products were just closed or ruined (yes, I consider Youtube as ruined by now)? For how long G+ was pushed to every google product before they finally realized that people won't use anyway? How many weird experiements on users they did? Left aligned youtube anyone (and yes, I did fix it with scripts, but still)? Also I believe google is pretty much the only search engine which forced safe search on for everyone in 2012. They did hide it in PR bluff, but instead of the old 3 options off/moderate/on, it has moderate/on now. You can see the difference in search results if you play around with user agents/old browsers even now. "Don't be evil". That's not about google these days, that's for sure. | ||

EDIT: I remember the jump from Justin.tv to twitch.tv was just a little scary in the beginning. | ||

Twitch is definitely becoming more mainstream, but it still grants some autonomy towards its users. Google, like any other big corporation, is also becoming mainstream, BUT the problem is how much regulation they exert on their properties like restricting certain types of music, suggesting more popular videos that bury some of the lesser known yet hidden gems (machinimas are a good example of how much it has been affected by the new youtube policy), and others. Google can definitely help with the optimization of twitch, but I am very worried that it might simply hijack it, as it did with youtube... EDIT: However, if Google can help twitch evolve from its abusive Kappa bullshit, then I would be happy with that. I mean ever since Google+ happened, the comment quality havs definitely improved! | ||

You'd think a Danish IP wouldn't have those problems, and I don't get what you guys are worried about, pretty sure you allready have your twitch accounts, not like they'll force a gmail or a google + account down your throat. This probally also means a new competitor to twitch will start eventually | ||

One is perfectly fine and the other is retarded and really should be put to an end sooner rather than later. If the Google actually puts a atop a o the idiocy that is twitch chat that alone would make up for just about anything bad they could do to twitch "People are doing things that I don't like and think is retarded, therefore it needs to end" I forgot why I stopped reading comments on internet websites, but you've reminded me | ||

Twitch has gone from good to ok to bad. So they can't ruin that much more(we don't even have 360p anymore). The exception is their stupid "one account for all google products" though. | ||
