The provided reasons by you - twitch are kinda weird,
but I would want to see some compromise, a lot of streamers can just "stream VODS with the checkbox" but byron cannot.
so you should figure out something, because ton of people go through his stream even now
I feel like you want to cut down costs, I get it but the community would like to see a reasonable solution - how to get this functionality for byrons channel (+ maybe some others in the future)
watching VODS is not the same, it has to be realtime twitch chat with synced video and indication in the follow list - can still be at the end of the list, thats fine
