Google bought Songza, Apple bought Beats. Both music related, I can see the confusion.

It's because they want people to use it.

It's gay as hell that they're adding that shitty audio detector.

Fuck you, google. Muh freedums.

I can guess what's going to happen already:
- Ads out the ass
- Audio muted
- Streams being cut off when playing certain games because "copyright infringement"

I don't see how this necessarily is a bad thing, it's just development.

I have to admit, I quite like google, though I do see why people dislike their services (and I've started liking them slightly less). But they should re-develop G+ I see the idea and it's good, but the service as of right now isn't worth it.

twitch is going to loose so much traffic now that googles invesment might not pay off ... like streamers are going to loosing followers left and right its not going to be worth it for them

It's because it's like 100% a Facebook copy cat and they want the fortune that Facebook made.

I don't dislike Twitch it's just that Google will make it worse judging that they will fill it with advertisements.
Regardless, try look up http://www.hitbox.tv/

I looked into Hitbox and it's not really something that interests me at all, the layout is very, very poor.
