> 1) Due to some odd wording in the terms of what’s permissible, your stream can’t be lower quality than what you send to other platforms. Because YouTube offers a higher ingestion bandwidth rate (10+ Mbps) than Twitch (6 Mbps), someone appealing to both services that wants to send the maximum bitrate allowed for quality purposes or even with differing resolutions can be hit due to the technicality:

I doubt streamers would dual encode their streams anyway. They'd just use the lowest common denominator.

I think Twitch doubts it too, that's part of this strategy. They tell you you are free, contingent on these guidelines being followed (but they're not rules). They then present vague conditions which seem unenforceable and impossible to follow. They can and will enforce them, you just don't know how, why, or when -- so you play it safe: cripple the experience on OtherPlatform, or, as that's too much effort, just don't use OtherPlatform. Problem solved!
