| I always get a heavily delayed feed while watching Twitch livestreams and I'm never able to partake in any giveaways or contests, but when they were using Youtube, I could watch it and see everything not even a second off. Why did they make this change? |

| Because Twitch is a website dedicated to game streaming and it's the most popular. They also have leaderboards for top viewed streams. |

| I feel like they are just trying to stay "hip". I mean, Twitch isn't any better than YouTube. I dunno, it'd be better if they used YouTube, but it's really up to them. And they must have a reason for using Twitch rather than Youtube. |

| Youtube livestreams have the worst chat system. With Twitch it is a very fluid live chat system with only minor delay. |

| 'Cause that's the thing to use these days. Valve used them for DOTA 2, Riot uses them for League of Legends. |

| Yea, but I feel like YouTube would be easier to use. |

| Twitch is easier to set up I guess and actual livestreaming on youtube involves becoming a Partner unless you want to use google hangover. |

Youtube livestreaming is terrible. Sorry for my biased opinion.
