and twitch is a niche site for james which will always have a smaller potential total addressable market than youtube did (and demographics and advertisers similar to spike tv) this is basically amazon buying comixology or zappos

isnt the whole deal with twitch that it's embedded in game consoles so it can pull in demo data from there?

that's not really how their api works on the pc at least. its just pushing h264 frames to their ingest servers. theres very little data to be had there.

was mainly for people streaming pc games for various reasons (fraps+youtube sucks, transcoding yourself sucks, watching in raeltime helps teamwork) that youtube didn't allow because video games are art and tehrefore copyright violation, unlikely fully 80% of youtube's other illegal content which is a-okay cause it gets them paid

that was vimeo that was anti-games videos. youtube didn't have streaming except for partners until relatively recently. call of duty on the 360 had streaming to youtube built in once it went relatively public.

it is 100% the case right now on the pc, i've used their native integration api. there is some limited metadata that you can optionally provide for stuff like their game directory. however sony is primarily partnered with ustream, and microsoft is obviously very against letting google datamine their consoles, so i'd expect sony/ms to drop twitch before they give in to their data collection demands.

why would i wanna watch other sentinent beings play football? oh, cus they're better at it than I'd ever be. but that doesn't mean i don't enjoy the sport. this is why people watch game streamers. oh, and for their personalities (which are 99% all horrible).

a small toddler walks out of the gooleplex's front doors. a hoard of journalists stand waiting with microphones and pen pads. he must be some kind of savant, they think. or maybe a genetically engineered super googler, created right in Google Labs. after his short legs carry him the length of the sidewalk, he pauses to speak. "i fawted" one reporter vocalizes his disgust. "pfft. what? what's with these guys?" he looks around him for the confirmation of his peers. but no ones there. the new york times is in a ball pit. gizmodo is hailing the free ice cream truck, so he can put milk shake flavoured ice cream on a bacon donut. "these guys are amazing" says one reporter as they wave good bye to the google campus. "they're absolutely going to crush apple."

professional casters covering professional tournaments hits the sports action drama buttons pretty effectively for me. the experience is different from the real sports i watch, but then again, those real sports feel different from each other, too. i'd say the biggest factor is probably just not having arbitrarily-assigned team allegiances. professional casting is still amateurish, but productions are noticeably improving. there's still something of a divide between commentators who have any talent at broadcasting and commentators who know what they're talking about, but welcome to professional sports broadcasting, gently caress joe buck and it's a beautiful day here in wiskokie at the 3M sports pavilion brought to you by 3M. i don't know if any casters are actually making a living, though. i don't know why people would tune in to watch random idiots streaming except extreme loneliness
