Fuck I hate Twitch, but the only alternative is Youtube and setting up a stream on Youtube is a nightmare. I don't think I've ever seen such an unfriendly backend for streamers. It straight-up WILL NOT let you go live in OBS, it wants you to let the website take over your stream software and you need to keep your browser open the entire time you're streaming.

What the fuck Youtube? When I had a lower-end machine, keeping Chrome open while streaming would crash it. This is blatant gatekeeping and while I can outpace the resource drain today, fuck Youtube doing this in the first place. Just work like everyone else, you dunces. You're not even the biggest fish in this ecosystem so maybe you should be a little more accommodating, yeah?

And as for Twitch, fuck Twitch, but without an alternative I'm stuck using them. Their service works, but their admins are thirsty and spineless and can't ban people clearly breaking the rules. Yknow, I don't give a toss if you wanna make money effectively selling your body on camera, but what bothers me is that this is explicitly against the rules and some people get away with it just because they're hot. Either enforce the rules equally or just allow porn on your platform. At least with the latter, I can stream a Let's Play of Corruption of Champions.

Anyway, if anyone has an alternative, lemme know. Tried going back to Hitbox.tv but apparently that's dead now. Could use Picarto but that one is for art and kinda discourages people using it for gaming, it also doesn't have the latency to handle games because it's, well, not for games. XD
