They also implemented a new system where you can "clip" the previous 30 seconds of a stream. It's really cool to quickly grab a 30 second segment from a livestream rather than waiting for the stream to end and then having to search through the VOD for it.

Why not both? It's possible to stream to both with something like OBS Studio, and even then, you can single-stream to Twitch with the VODs enabled, record it locally as well, and then export it to YouTube separately as needed. The system can be automated. Either way, I think that FIRST and FRC on the front page of Twitch would be an incredible way to spread the cause to technophiles all over the world.

The turning point would be announcers (a la The International or VRWC now) to make it easier to digest for the "casual" viewer. For the rest of us, GameDay will have to do for now...
