I just joined her stream and it was at loading screen but had started 20+ minutes ago, I was so confused.

And it blew up again it seems...
 
Oh god not again. Her computer might be dead. Just have them reschedule it.

Interesting note. Viewers went up to 20k after she came back. Stream died and shes back to 3k, going down. Last time it dropped to about 1500 before it restarted.

Edit: Down a 3rd time after being up for 5 seconds.
 
Have you guys considered that maybe it's not a curse and maybe the chicken is just a technology idiot lol

Up and down a few more times, I think it's dead. Worst timing during a big reveal like this. Not a Kiara fan, but feel bad for her.

Doesn't she have a travel laptop or something she could swtich to?

Hard disagree. The power of YT lies in its recommendation algorithm. Do you know how people complain that they watch one video of <random topic they don't usually watch> and suddenly they get flooded with videos around that topic? It's a curse, but also a blessing. If the Youtube algorithm likes a certain video on a Vtuber's channel, any user that watches something related gets recommended that video. Which results on quite a lot of opportunities for that vtuber to be discovered.

On the other hand Twitch has shit for discoverability. There is basically no way to get randomly noticed, none what so ever.

On your specific usecase: You search for a new Vtuber to discover and use the site's search features, good on you, maybe even scroll down twitches result page to click on a smaller stream. I agree that Youtube's search is shit, and Twitch can be decent, but that is far from what usually occurs.

People hit "browse", click on a game they want to watch and then click on one of the streams on top. The first 2 rows. Without scrolling down. In 90% of the time.
If you are one of the guys dozens of rows down below with <10 views, there is no way you get discovered, no way to even show how you are worth checking out.

I have a feeling that when youtube releases its update on streaming features it can definitely become a comparator to twitch. Most of Twitch's attempts to make it easier for streamers to be discovered never work as intended.

On the front page, you'll get a category of recommendations for streamers that are "similar" to whatever streamer you last watched, this mostly works well if you last watched someone who averages a thousand or more views a stream but if it's someone with a few hundred or less they'll just recommend furfags with two views and pronouns in their tags.

The new feature that lets viewers promote streamers they watch is even worse, I keep clicking out of streams thinking I clicked on the wrong one because I got an ad that's just a random portion of someone else's stream

But the worst part of Twitch has to be the moderation. Their copyright system somehow makes Youtube's look good and their rules can at times be reminiscent of a dystopian dictatorship. At least on Youtube, you can interview a banned person or jokingly imply that someone is sleeping with the staff and get away with it as long as you haven't done something to really piss off the top 1% of youtube.
