SlayerS_Cella, can you confirm that? If you or CatZ stream in a few moments I can check it out. Btw, the reason I rage the most is due to your streams, I ♥♥♥ ROOT's streams! | ||

Only advertisements to wealthy nations like USA, Canada, some EU countries are worth some money. Then they have to pay for bandwidth from USA to Brazil which can be potentially more expensive than USA to USA bandwidth. That's Jtv wants you to pay money. Presently, Ustream and Livestream is willing to lose money streaming to Brazil, but Jtv is not willing to do that. er, they don't make money because they don't want to. The Brazilian (general gamer) Sc2 player profile is in general part of the higher class of the country. Youtube for exemple does have brazilian ads running. And I find unlikely that they are actually losing money | ||

I just tuned in GLHF.tv and it is working fine. ROOTGaming's should work as well. | ||

JTV has stated that these restrictions were removed from all gaming streams. Contact the streamer and let them know this to get it fixed and you should be able to watch it with no problem. | ||

If it's truly a bad practice, then people will migrate away from JTV and they'll have to lower/remove prices. | ||

It's not cheap, and advertisements alone won't cover all of their expenditures. I have no problem with JTV trying to make money this way. If it's truly a bad practice, then people will migrate away from JTV and they'll have to lower/remove prices. Well, its all about how the other streams work. If the other streams are free, there is no point why one of them shouldn't be. By the way, thank you very much iCCup.Raelcun, that makes total sense. If only I could "Like" your post haha! | ||

Right, if JTV ends up losing a bunch of people because they're the only ones charging, then they'll have to stop charging. If they can charge money when others aren't, then they're doing something else better than the rest. | ||

Even if you're rich, brazilian ads don't pay as well as american ads. Just because google can find advertising dollars doesn't mean justin.tv can. Google might also be absorbing financial loses just so when brazil becomes richer, their loses will turn into profit. | ||
