Nuked A few years ago, YouTube added live redirects as a way for creators to hold livestreams that ended by pointing viewers to another video on their own channel. Now it has adjusted live redirects so that live streamers can bounce their audience to another live video when they go offline.
‘hate raids’ would target marginalized streamers with abuse from hundreds of accounts at a time. It has also been a conduit for harassment on the platform.
Youtube has taken note of the issues Twitch has struggled to contain. It is launching live redirects with settings that could make bot-fueled harassment.
From the start, YouTube live redirects can only point to channels that subscribe to the streamer. In addition, only channels with more than 1,000 subscribers and no active community guideline strikes can send a live redirect.
