Why are some streams never available on VOD?

Question Why are some streams never available on VOD?
Answer There could be several factors which contribute to me ultimately deciding not to make available a live stream on VOD. Here are a few potential reasons:
  • Too many Content IDs
    It is disgustingly easy to trigger Content ID on Twitch and YouTube (even nature sounds trigger it!). If any of my live streams trigger Content ID more than a couple times or for more than several seconds, and it is not something I can appeal, I will not make the stream available VOD.
  • Low-quality stream
    If I felt the overall stream was particularly bad in quality, I won't make it available on VOD. This could be because of several things:
    • Lots of technical issues
    • Poor performance by my part or my guests
    • Very low viewership
    • Bad actors in the chat (if I had chat visible or if dealing with them disrupted the stream)
  • Something was said / shown which should not have been
    If I or one of my guests shows or says something on-stream which could be in violation of the platform's Community Guidelines, I won't take any chances, and the stream will not be up for VOD.
