From today: Sisu1:08russ u kno hitbox? explain pros n cons vs twitch plz

Pros to hitbox:
You can Change Quality, video is like youtube
Ads are adjustable by default. For example: 3-10 thirty second ads. It also says "Click the button to start a commercial break"
Cleaner tab-based Design, you can see who is following the channel without leaving the homepage.
The population is growing, and the site is in its infancy, aka beta mode.
You can see statistics: Live views, total visitors/unique visitors, follower history by top countries
There is no pop-up viewer list, it is on the side of the video channel/dashboard
Little to no streaming delay: 3-10 seconds, while twitch is 10-22 seconds. (I tested)
"We’re Expanding Revenue Share to All Live Streamers on Hitbox!" | "Sub-emotes for everyone!"

Cons:
It is Not so popular
Recorded videos are removed in 14 days

Pros to twitch:
50+ cool emoticons in the chatbox: http://twitchemotes.com/http://twitchemotes.com/
Ad revenue viewed by month and year
There is a "Save Forever" button to bypass the 14 days lifetime.

Twitch deletes recorded videos after fourteen days unless you click "Save Forever." Does Hitbox have a similar option?
