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.
