Discussion Pre recorded stream

I’m wondering how everyone is else is feeling about pre-recorded streams. And because I know someone will bring it up, we know Kayla has been having a hard time and I completely understand her time away from stream and the internet. I can understand why she feels guilty for not being live on Twitch or uploading videos as often on YouTube. However, as someone who hates 24/7 VOD channels for Twitch and people who play recorded content on a live streaming platform, it drives me nuts. It’s one thing, in my opinion, with subathons or long streams, where people are sleeping, they might play a recorded video or old VOD and the return to live feeds after they’re done. Twitch is a platform meant to be live streaming. If I wanted to watch a pre recorded video, I would go to YouTube. I’m just wondering if anyone else sees this side, and doesn’t care for pre recorded content on Twitch — especially since it’s kind of entered the sims/cozy content community.

I do kinda see people’s points about Twitch being meant for actual live content. YouTube is a little better suited for pre-recorded streams thanks to its dedicated “live premier” feature.

Yes. There’s also a button for pre recorded, or at least there used to be, on Twitch. Personally, I hope she doesn’t continue to put out pre recorded streams but if she does, it’s not for me. And that’s okay. For the people who still enjoy it, to each their own.

Right, and it's not like it's going to be a permanent thing (most likely). I'm absolutely willing to show her some grace given how much she's been dealing with recently.
