Title: Has Twitch TV been running like crap for anybody else the last month or so?

Not when you are streaming. I mean when you are watching streams. I swear its constantly buffering with that spinning circle on the screen now. This wasn't happening for me a few months ago. But now its constant. Not sure if some internet setting is wrong on my computer or my router or speed is just fluctuating but its been crap. And other things like Youtube have been relatively fine by comparison.

Twitch has been going downhill continuously since it started. They did some big back-end change a while back (mid-December or so). I dunno what it was meant to fix, but it didn't fix anything as far as I can tell and it introduced near constant 45+ seconds of delay in all streams. Shit's poop.

They just added in close to a million more users with the PS4 release.

That + the increase volume in viewers + general rise in usage = Twitch crumbling.
