Fuck you and fuck Google. YouTube sucks a thousand cocks now and they just bought the one site gamers were flocking to since YT sucks cock and has ruined many communities with their draconian bullshit.
This is probably going to fuck up Twitch badly if YouTube is any indicator. Oh well.

If we are just talking about a quality of service issue then Twitch is already pretty shitty. It constantly lags. It constantly goes down. It's about the only video service quality wise that I would say is actually worse than youtube.
I'm more thinking in terms of blocking content.

that only seems slightly more likely than google not ruining something after they buy it
yeah, you don't understand. that's okay, we're all dumb sometimes.
You're talking about the site from a design perspective. We are talking about it from a user interface and usability perspective.
don't take it so personally, andy. it's not about google. it's that i can't actually think of a situation where a big company coming in and buying something smaller yet successful has ever worked out for the better.
you disagree, that's fine. we'll see how it goes for twitch. between the shit sandwich of amazon fucking up comixology and glu fucking up gamespy, i'm all out of optimism this month.
Google web design is bland as shit too unfortunately :(

:whew andy must've been saving all his special fellow power precisely for announcements like this
This isnt even his final form. He's only at Super Spergajin 2 right now
I satisfy Google in other ways, don't worry :yeshrug

YouTube is way more usable now. The side menu is gross, but do you remember how playlist controls used to work? That fucking bar at the bottom of the screen with tiny ass buttons? Holy shit, what a horrid UI.
Old-style channels AKA MySpace 2.0? The new One Channel design is FAR more usable.

Kill me now if you think the top one is better and more usable.
I can agree YouTube stutters now more than it used to, but it also has more users and HD content than it used to. I've seen what it takes to deal with bandwidth and I don't envy YouTube's backend/CDN engineers at all, they have a far harder job of it than almost anyone. The fact that it's even online without constant Fail Wail pages is a marvel of internet engineering.
'08 design
:yuck
X-men

Because for me, personally, I prefer the top. It may not be "Web 2.0"/hot for you, but I am a man of 90's web design.
People who get into an argument about Google with me:

Technically speaking, the G+ comments system is far and away better than the old one. What a janky pile of mess that was. At times it felt like it barely functioned.

The real problem is that you two are reading Youtube comments.

$1 billion well spent. :derp
Seriously, Twitch has had a huge botting problem the past week or so and they don't seem to be doing anything about it.
Starting today, Twitch will be implementing technology intended to help broadcasters avoid the storage of videos containing unauthorized third-party audio. We respect the rights of copyright owners, and are voluntarily undertaking this effort to help protect both our broadcasters and copyright owners.
..
How It Works: Scanning VODs Only
Audio Recognition will only be run against audio in VODs. We are not scanning live broadcasts and there is no automated takedown of live content.
Flagged Content will display an on-screen notification informing viewers that content owned or controlled by a third party has been identified. The progress bar will also be red for the duration of the muted section.
I streamed TLOU multiplayer last night and half of my video is blocked out, in two big chunks. There is nothing other than in-game audio in the video. It occurs both in the menus and in gameplay with no rhyme or reason.
lmao. my Crypt of the Necrodancer VOD is untouched. How is that even possible? It's literally ALL licensed music.Same for my Lollipop Chainsaw VODs. Kinda surprised at that.
who could have anticipated this
tinfoil hat time:
what if the dmca shit was getting too heavy for twitch and this was coming anyway, so they sold off twitch for a ton of money and closed justin tv to get while the getting was good?
Yeah I mean I saw some chick twitch hearthstone but it was basicly people paying her money to put their favourite songs on while she plays, like a radio station.
he was joking, sweetie
But who’s claiming copyright?
Some music is being flagged even when the people who performed it swear blind it shouldn’t, just as YouTube’s audio scanning did when it launched last year.
Videos of Crypt of the NecroDancer (which is pretty good) are being silenced while composer Danny Baranowsky insists “nobody but me has the authority to ask for a takedown.” He explained that it “was somehow identified as music in Audible Magic catalog. Even though it isn’t!”
NecroDancer creators Brace Yourself Games are even seeing their own dev streams muted. Shear responded to a question from Brace Yourself, but didn’t say why that might be happening.
Bad matches
Audio recognition is inherently imprecise, not looking for perfect matches. Twitch’s system has, for example, muted some of Valve’s $10 million Dota 2 tournament The International. “That was a false positive (misidentification of crowd noise as music), which we’ve now fixed,” Shear explained.
Presumably their cheering sounded too much like cheers on a song. It won’t be the only noise which just so happens to sound like music in the system.
Poor testing
“The vast majority of matches seem correct as far as we can tell,” Shear claimed. “There are exceptional cases which are of course now very public and embarrassing, but I don’t know how we would have found them without launching.”
The zany notion of testing springs to mind, perhaps starting on a small portion of videos to see how it works, or scanning for matches to see what pops up without following through on muting.

If you're hosting video content and get big enough, the DMCA hammer is gonna fall. Period. Doesn't matter if you're Google, Apple, Vimeo, Twitch, etc.

Will KFC buy Goodyear Tires tomorrow?
forgive me for asking a stupid question, but why?
Amazon has a streaming service that they want to boost, but this still doesn't make any sense to me. Will KFC buy Goodyear Tires tomorrow?
