I got the impression that Restream is mostly used for talks / podcasts.
I know of DJs who use the service to hit YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and maybe Mixcloud all at the same time. In that case, they're not trying to grow a platform-based audience (like gamers). They're simply trying to reach their existing audience through the available channels.
I don't think anyone is taking exclusivity seriously, except maybe well-paid gamers. It's too early to act like Apple. Maybe once live streaming matures...?
- jchw 6y agoTwitch definitely cracked down on Restream usage among partners at some point in the past, because I used to watch some streams on YT and that stopped happening suddenly, with some of them citing their Twitch contracts.
