- smackfu 12y agoTwitch already rolled out their own ContentID-styled system, pre-acquisition.
- npizzolato 12y agoPre-acquisition announcement! The timing of the two is so similar I think it's beyond likely that the anti-copyright protection wasn't a part of the negotiations.
- nilved 12y agoAmazon is in the music and video industry. Twitch already has content ID. Amazon is pretty much Google-level evil plus sweatshops.
- ForHackernews 12y agoAmazon sells actual products to consumers, Google sells consumer data to advertisers. That means Amazon tends to be more responsive to end-users. As an experiment: Compare trying to get somebody from Google support on the phone vs. Amazon.
- 14113 12y agoSomething no-one else seems to have mentioned in response to you is avoiding monopolies. Various changes to youtube regularly piss off people uploading content to the platform, so having a competitor (twitch) gives them somewhere to run to, and competition in the video market.
