I hace conflicting feelings on twitch. As a french user, some streams are just aweful to watch because of the lag. I'm speaking about Twitch's lag where all users even at 240p (sic!) have their video shuttering. I understand they can't treat each stream the same, like,thses LoL streams having 10k viewers versus a stream with 10. But video is not like text: you can't rely on the user just waiting a little more for a page to load while you are giving full bandwidth to the most popular one. Streams lagging on a streaming website have a much more negative effect.

Twitch lag is a big issue for most European viewers and I even get issues on the East Coast for big events (50k+ viewers). Their adds are another source of constant annoyance for me. They often pop up when their not suppose to, constantly ignore volume settings and crash the stream entirely from time to time. I've never had similar problems with youtube's streaming services and would be very worried for twitch's future if Google ever steps up their involvement .
