      affiliates had an exclusivity contract for new content e.g. you could only stream on Twitch but could upload the vod to YouTube. Earlier in the year they changed the rules slightly to allow simultaneous live streaming to mobile platforms e.g. TikTok. Seems like they’ve expanded it again now that they’ve realised exclusivity was hurting discoverability
