    JTV is better but the community is terrible.

    Livestream is terrible but the community is good.


    Ustream is just a pile of shit

    I used to harass this cute chick on JTV all the time during one summer. But all the regulars were like you can't ban Krye he's great and I developed a sort of immunity.

    I have never had those problems with adblock. Ustream > Justin.tv > Livestream imo. But that's speaking from a streamers (or viewers) perspective, never seen a need to search for content on them. Livestream has the nicest interface, but it's a fucking poorly made website and the stream setup page is fucking horrible.

    As Kiara said, anyone with ABP is going to be fine. If you dont have ABP you probably shouldnt be on the internet anyway.
    Justin.TV was by far the easiest one to set up and go when I was streaming FFXIV during beta.

    I've heard Justin.TV has higher overhead processing than livestream in a direct comparison but never seen solid backup of the claim.

    IMO, I like watching streams from livestream best. Love that it automatically records the stream so I can pretty much watch a stream up to about a week after it happened. I dont know if they all offer it but I only see people on live stream do it. I think Justin.TV had the option when I tried using them but out of habitual paranoia ignored it.

    I'd rate ustream lowest on the totem pole.

    Justin.tv does it and even has an option to upload recordings/highlights to YouTube for you, which is pretty handy if you're in to that.

    Pretty sure ustream does as well. Going to have to see where my rearmed recordings are.
