As a viewer, I have greatly enjoyed Twitch. The content is diverse, the layout is practical and interacting with streamers is effortless and lots of fun. However, the game ban policy is pretty arbitrary and unusually stiff for a flexible industry. *Cough* Yandere Sim *cough*

The site made conscious efforts to ban streamers who used sex appeal as the main focus of their show and now values quality content creators through many little gimmicks, some more successful than others. Getting monetization as a streamer is about as difficult as it is on Youtube from what I've heard and policy changes can be destabilizing if you're intending to stream. Some technical difficulties have been reported for audio delay and frame rate. As a viewer, no issues at all! But as a streamer, minor roadblocks lie ahead.

As someone that does find entertainment in watching speedruns, I can definitely say without a doubt that Twitch has a lot to improve upon to make it a nice experience. They need to optimize their code to be less resource-intensive as there are times when the website causes any web browser I use to hang. The delay between what the viewer sees and what the streamer is doing is quite detrimental to the live experience. There are other websites out there that are able to deliver a more live experience.

I think what makes Twitch TV so great is the fact that it features hot girls playing WOW, RIFT, GW2, and all of the other MMOs out there. They survive off of donations and gifts to the girls who let you watch them play. I'm not sure exactly how much money these girls get to make off of these types of shows, but it seems like it can be quite a bit. http://www.twitch.tv/legendarylea/c/******* She gets like 60,000 viewers when she is online so if even a fraction of them donate or buy an item off of her site then she makes some money. Love this site and we should all support hot blonde girls playing video games in their underwear.

Very bad customer service they just added a new feature to were the people who are getting paid by them get screwed over. If you have a subcribe button or run ads for your own channel they can now buy a feature that makes it not show up on everypage. Basicly what this is coming down to is that people are just ganna turn ad blocker on 24/7 and no one that gets paid to stream will be gaining anything. From what i hear the pay is very low also even if you can pull a number of 800-1800 people u would have to run ads every 1 mins just to make a decent amount. So as far as this site go's it started out great but the new feature is horrible.
