How the hell am I supposed to watch pony episode streams when they premiere?

This is an outrage.

There wasn't even a fucking warning

And then people remembered livestream's a thing that exists.

Twitch just proved too much of a cash cow.

Godammit Google!

Sites concentrating into one is too dangerous.

guess what. DOUBLE WHAMMY! Twitch is now basically gaming youtube. now with 500% more lame.

FUCK

> They're not using the same content ID company as youtube
> It only affects VODs
> Twitch support is a million times better than youtube support, in the case of a false positive the chances of actually fixing the problem is very likely
> In the case of a content ID match it will only mute a half hour of the VOD. Considering a lot of streams are several hours long that's not that bad

Can people please cut it out with the doom and gloom over Twitch changes? Frankly, a lot of Twitch streamers have been using copyrighted music in their streams without repercussion for far longer than the site should have allowed considering the massive growth in its userbase. The other option to this is having copyright holders have the whole site taken down for the rampant use of copyrighted music without permission and Twitch doing nothing about it. Besides, we haven't even given a chance to see how this system works. Youtube's content ID system is ass because it doesn't work and the user support is even worse. If Twitch does this right (which we will have to wait and see) then it could be a huge benefit to the site and by extension its users.
