Limitations of the more basic streaming service I guess. It's good that he has another means of streaming that Google can't simply take away.

Give it some time, BlazeTV just a year ago, before last update was legit terrible. Freezing ten minutes into episodes, constantly needing to reboot and find your place, not clicking on an episode within a minute of bringing the page up, then clicking it would always force reboot, same with pausing for more than a couple minutes, etc. etc.. Funding has greatly improved it.

Yeah, it's annoying haveing to boot up my computer to instead of using the YouTube TV app, but my laptop has an hdmi port so it's not a big deal.

Yes, but paying would imply a better experience than free.

If you think using YouTube is free, you haven't been paying attention.

Well I have certainly never paid a single cent to watch a video there..... And with that free version we could watch it whenever we wanted to and fast forward and rewind whenever we wanted to.....

There's no way someone can justify turning around and having to pay for the exact same thing, but now you can't watch it when you want to and you can't fast forward and rewind when you want to

Crowder would upload it there when he could so you weren't paying money but it certainly is not free. Even if you're blocking the ads, you're still subject to their nonsense. You're buying that content with a little bit of your soul.

I'm sure the people doing the site would love to have all the rewinding etc but I suspect it's a fair bit more complex than basic restreaming. Bear in mind that they're probably already running at a loss and what people are paying them supports the content as well as site development and improvement. Meanwhile, YouTube is being funded by a huge monster bent on hegemonic world dominance. The funding models are a little different.

Just have to wait for then to upload it. Blaze TV doesn't have nearly the revinew YouTube has sor hardware or software so quit bitching.

And this is the line of thinking which has brought us to where we are today with big, corporate tech effectively being in control of everything.

You pay more with your data and their control, cheap is expensive!
