Josh Wilkinson on Twitter: "Did they change how views are recorded on Twitch VODs? Looking at my stream from yesterday and it has 25,000 views already, whereas YouTube videos I post do a FRACTION of that in the first 24hrs. Obviously different platforms but VOD content's doing better on the live website??"

  They said they "fixed it" but it seems like views are massively inflated now

  I'm pretty sure they did change something recently that adds both stream views and vod views together or something? There was a whole buzz about it a few weeks back

  Got changed pretty recently, within the last month or so. They changed to the youtube VOD method that includes unique live views as well as after the fact views.

  I watch your VODs more than I watch you live Sideshow. Especially this past weekend having the source feed of the tourney, the companion stream, and chat all in one VOD is great.

  The VOD now counts viewers when the contest was streamed live too, instead of JUST the VOD.

  Because people on YouTube rarely watch VODS as there are tons of entertainment videos while others on twitch look for gaming content it’s simple as that
