Pesonally, it looks to me like YouTube wants to control the video-sharing area of the internet.
The biggest problem with YouTube is that they always introduce shittier and shittier layouts. TwitchTV could end up being fucked big time. ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |

Well, if there's gonna be one good thing. At least it'll fix the registration feature on Twitch for sure.  The world could always use more heroes! |

Posted by ゼンガー・ゾンボルト Oh, Google. That makes it worse.  Even if the registration is fixed on TwitchTV, who knows what Google could do?____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |

Posted by TarynThe problem is in how much the businesses are worth, and then how much the buyout offers are. The buyout often adds a big markup to tempt the owners into saying yes a lot quicker. Imagine running a company worth $100k at most.. Then getting offered $3M for it? Are you saying you'd resist the temptation in that offer being 30x the value?

Consolidation is the new success story. That's my big issue. The second issue is it's going to be hard to use the service if they have to comply with a Content-ID style system. What if Nintendo doesn't want you to live stream DKC2? So that could be bad. (Now that doesn't mean it will happen like that, but one must look at all outcomes.)
Do we have new alternatives for Twitch out there? Even though I've never streamed anying in Twitch I will be watching to see how it turns out.

There are others, ustream.tv is an alternative.
So yeah, there's still other streaming sites. The world could always use more heroes! |

Even if it was Youtube buying TwitchTV, it would still be owned by Google, considering how Google bought Youtube a few years back. I think that was in 2008 or something, when they realised how good Youtube was doing. Either way it's still a bad thing. Google wants to own everything. Eventually that will happen. |

Even then, a Google monopoly on the internet would be bad.

Yeah, TwitchTV could really go down the drain, especially if it is merged with YouTube, which is most likely. ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |

I don't personally think they'd merge it with youtube, I think they'd fix it up and just rename it to something like.. "Google Stream" or something like that, and have easy access to upload to youtube. That sounds more reasonable. |

Posted by Taryn When the economy is good, companies consolidate. When the economy is bad, companies still consolidate. Technically there are no "monopolies" and "trusts" since they are illegal. But too much consolidation is bad because you end up with monopolies. And it looks like monopolies will start appearing very soon. ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |
