Great, more long ass unedited amateur videos.

I used to upload gaming videos (moments/montages) to youtube. The share feature is nice on PS4 and Xbox one, although the reason for my comment is I quit uploading, because I always received copyright notices from YouTube, and even if I won an appeal...it still lead to copyright notices AGAIN later. Aside from the notices, my friends and I were monitoring through Adsense, after the notices would happen, I'd noticed that earned adsense revenue would be subtracted from FINALIZED earnings. I wrote a blog about this out of anger [1].

Anyways, the reason I stopped uploading was, because to actually get views and subscribers, editors need to....edit....their videos. Although when I uploaded, it taught me how to edit and compress videos, I realized I was editing and reviewing footage a lot more than playing.

With Starcraft 2 there's a feature to "watch a reply with a friend". Perhaps this is an easy way for them to get the same functionality without having to build in a replay viewer

There's also a whole audience of people on twitch who watch live streams of games with merely the player commenting into their headset as they go regarding why they're doing something (sometimes not even that!).

So there's two instances without editing already in wide use today.
