TikTok is not primarily livestreaming, but it does have live streams (with live chat overlay on top of video, looking very similar to live streaming interface of Instagram or Periscope)

So apparently TikTok Live is mostly a competitor to those two (and maybe YouNow) but not to widescreen/desktop-oriented streams of Twitch

YouTube Live on the other hand is very much a competitor to Twitch (livestreaming to millions and NOT auto-expiring/deleting past broadcasts by default is something only YouTube can do for now)

For those looking for a quick overview, the diagram on page 11 nicely shows the internal ribs OP's article talks about.

Yep, sorry for the repost.

I figured that enough time had passed since the last time since it's such an excellent article. ;-)

Please don't apologize! I don't know how many times I've googled for this type of thing, only to end up with a handful of stack overflow articles that don't even scratch the surface. This is one of the best reads I've seen on HN in a long time. Thank you!!

And right you are. It's great.

No apologies necessary, thanks for this!
