Granted that I haven't been on Twitch in quite a while, but I have to put in my two cents on this platform. They ban Asmongold for speaking his mind about what's going on in the Middle East, but they promote some extremists with one wishing for our brave soldiers of the United States to get PTSD! What kind of twisted logic is that?! Update: After so much backlash, they have finally banned some of the extremists. But, the damage has already been done. Twitch is trash!
It seems Twitch is currently engaged in a "bait & switch" scam. In spite of the fact that I PAID for subscriptions because I was promised an AD-FREE experience for doing so, I continue to be inundated with ads on channels to which I subscribed. Twitch's response to my complaint was your typical scammer "Trust us - we're working on it". I refuse to subscribe to any more channels until Twitch corrects this. Nor will I re-scribe when the current ones expire. I'd rather tip content creators directly in order to support them. (But knowing how greedy Twitch is, it wouldn't surprise me if they remove that option from their platform.)
If you love listening to your content with random interruptions in the middle of crucial moments of your programming then Twitch is the streaming service for you. Nothing like listening to a comedian telling a joke only to have Twitch cut in and air silence as part of their advertising, so you never get to hear the comedian's punchline. Fabulous! Twitch sucks.
One of the worst websites i ever been on
The streamers on there are very rude and nasty as well and quick to bully you as well
Yet quick to take your money and they nag you to follow them up
As i would avoid this website all together and go else way as i dont like how they ask for a code or some streamers only have followers only rubbish and $#*! website. Avoid if you can and go on youtube or live. Me or younow if u want to stream much better and they have better mods and younow give free coins like live.me where twitch tv is a con as you have to buy them what a rip off, as it suprice this website still going,
This site provides (probably) one of the best ways to stream in a large, more interactive way than other sites. (such as YT) Plus, thanks to the application I can actually have an easier way to enhance my gaming experience without having to worry about certain mod installations (namely Minecraft).
Steal your money then refuse to help through emails! No contact phone number either.
Avoid if possible also never give them access to your bank account/PayPal.
Twitch does not have a healthy community. Data mining and data mining affiliated relations plague the really well formatted website. Toxic, etc... I am sure this place could be the best thing since sliced bread.
I don't browse for certain games/media being streamed (which you can do) but I'm able to watch my favorite people (artists, gamers, and friends) do what they do in the comfort of their home or working space, live or past broadcast. The delay is fairly minimal for me, but then there's the occasional invasive ad playing in the middle of the streams. So you could be missing out on something important, which is a little bothersome. Depending on the popularity of the streamer, chat can get a little hectic as well, but you can opt out of chat if you like. Setting up a stream was simple enough last I tried it, and of course they offer a few more options to get your stream going. I'm not sure what the standard is for those options, but so far, it all works pretty well for me.
Let's be short and blunt here, save you time and tell you exactly as it is.
Twitch's customer service is complete and utter trash incapable of handling a ticket, doing it at a decent time, and still marking the "unresolved ticket" as "resolved." Even when the ticket exposes simple or obvious and unnecessary bugs on their website, it is just brushed off and marked resolved. They are just persistent and continuous problems ignored by twitch while customer service continues to do absolutely nothing to inform their IT, if they even have that department.
Trash site finding new ways to take money that creators get and put it in their own pockets. Absolutely atrocious. Absolutely not recommended for anyone that cares about the well being of the people they are watching. Do not spend any money, unless you are giving it directly to the streamer.
Answer: Mixer is like Twitch, I have no real experience with them though.
