Twitch has stories now, because all social media has to be the same

I would argue that short video clips on a video streaming service actually makes a lot of sense...

It is a live streaming service. That doesn't make any sense at all. What are you going to post, the first minute of your stream?

You could already watch previously recorded videos before. You could also previously “clip” a video to isolate a short moment of a stream.

I don't know, maybe funny clips? Notable moments from stream? You know, that clip functionality that Twitch has had for years that allows sharing short clips from the stream?

I'm starting to think you guys have never actually used the platforms you're complaining about lol.

I think it’s a way for Streamers who go live infrequently can still provide updates and content without forcing their fans to follow them on Twitter. I agree though if a Streamer is going live 4 hours a day everyday why would they create shorts?

Twitch isn't only live streaming. There's tons of highlight clips and prerecorded videos on there. They're expanding their feature set to be more varied, I don't really see what the big deal is, honestly. You don't have to use it and it's there for those who will, no real harm done.

You post stream highlights. Not complicated.
