This sucks. If I thought there was careful thought behind this I might understand - I'm all for diminishing YT - but it's just another sad reminder of who owns the company.
I don't believe Nitter supports livestreams yet, and won't blame them if they never do. Glad we have unofficial streamers outside of twitter.
If viewing experience we're comparable or better, I wouldn't mind so much. The internet would definitely benefit from a serious YouTube competitor. But as it currently stands, the viewing experience is much worse.
This is sad, Twitter video is still shit.
Super disappointed in this. Can't say I'm entirely surprised, given the CEO's recent distracted antics, but this is definitely a regression in viewing experience. No pause or rewind capability, no Mission Control audio, grainy resolution, no frame-by-frame...
I don't know where to look on YouTube to see upcoming streams
They would be listed in https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceX/streams, and are labeled "upcoming".
and don't have an inventory of videos, so I can't check them.
I definitely do not have an inventory of videos going back just over a year. Is there anything you would like me to not check?
Cool, now the failed launches can be hidden from the public!
The, or one of the, most successful rockets ever? And people are taking pictures and videos of the launches anyway.
