Hitbox- who's using it?

Hi everyone!

With the recent changes to the service, poor business decisions and generally "stuff that should have been fixed ages ago" on Twitch, some people are starting to use Hitbox because it has none of these problems. The downside is that it's not even close to the viewerbase that Twitch provides, at least for the moment. So what do you guys think? Has anyone made "the switch" or started to watch Hitbox as well as Twitch?

I tried Twitch once, but my net speed is dildos so i can't stream. :(

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

only thing wrong with twitch is that they still use flash, maybe youtube team will help them switch to html5.

None of the options are for "Never used/heard of it but use Twitch" or I'm blind as hell.

 

I intended for that to be the "I'm sticking to twitch" option but I'll add that in ^^

But... if Hitbox really is better and I'm not sticking with Twitch in that case, where's the "I'ma try it it out" vote? D:

 

Improving polls one move at a time...

I can't have an option for everything :P the poll is about what your experience is now, not what it will be in the future :)

Bad coding, inefficient interface, low bitrate limit, video delivery, no streamer groups, they change stuff randomly and with little warning, the content id implementation is terrible.

This video is more thorough on it if you want more info.
