Well, the primary focus of the platform is the fact that it's meant to be live, not on-demand. Everything else takes a backseat.
I replay stuff all the time. Especially during live tournaments and a caster missed something, I scrub back to the point, watch it at a different speed, then hit live again. Or if I go to the loo and don't want to miss an important fight, pause, loo, scrub back a little to the beginning of the fight, then hit live.
It's so basic. Any tournament organiser that's twitch exclusive, I don't watch and just wait for the highlights.
I get that, because I'm the same way with my media consumption. But that just means that Twitch isn't for you. There's a whole market of people who appreciate the fact that if you missed something, you missed it for good, and that's the primary audience Twitch is meant to serve.
Yep, Twitch isn't for me because YouTube has these braindead basic features already.
