  What exactly is the harm? I would assume they are checking to ensure all of their hardware and software is working as intended. You’re free to view something else or enjoy an entirely different activity in the interim.

    I think what they mean is that it takes storage space for no reason after the stream is over

      That’s viable. I think limiting total storage and leaving it up to them to trim the video down is a good solution.

    If someone says the show is starting at 7:00 and I arrive at 7:00 I expect their show to start within a few minutes. If they’re still checking to make sure things are working a half an hour later, they fucked up.

      That sounds very entitled, honestly. They have zero obligation to you, and things happen.

        They have every obligation to their subscribers. Streamers are professional beggars, suggesting that they have no obligation to their viewers/subs is kind of ridiculous.

        I do considered myself entitled to people keeping their word. It’s obviously a dying belief however.
