A lot of Youtube content creators named Twitch as their exit strategy should Youtube policies get too restrictive (which they already kind of are). Now Youtube is making sure there is no alternative, and considering how difficult it is to start a service like that form scratch and become a competitor, there may never be one. | ||

Well, I have to ask you guys, do you think Blizzard is just going to let this happen? They are a twitch investor, and their content can be streamed live nowhere else while WCS and its partners are conducting all relative events (or so I believe). | ||

Who even uses that anymore? Youtube streaming is way more reliable than twitch, if anything this will improve the service. | ||

Youtube and GEMA are making YT live streams and so many videos unwatchable already, I am really frightened they'll block all the Twitch streams as well. -.- May the proxy servers be with us. This is the true problem for us germans.... Everytime when I opened a video it is 90% blocked because of the GEMA .bullshit. | ||
