Why Facebook sucks for Dota 2

I tried to support the FB thing. Here is why it fails:

1. Can't pause videos, instead have to close video or mute. Can't rewind / go back in vlog like you can under 'Videos' on Twitch
2. Constant weird audio bugs - e.g. randomly 3 different videos will start playing, refresh page only fix
3. Clipping good plays etc requires much more effort ... how do you even do it?
4. When on Facebook, it is not clear how many channels are live.
5. Flicking between the two English channels didn't work a number of times
6. Reduced audience interaction - Twitch chat gives a sense of being in a crowd; FB chat gives a sense of being at a funeral -hide
7. Real names used in FB means many people don't want to interact
8. I don't have a FB account - it keeps telling me to sign up. I would rather drink raw sewage. Make the popup go away
9. FB has highly invasive and unethical practices re data collection and advertising
10. The core Dota 2 community cannot grow out an eco-system to support dota 2 events on the ESL FB page as well. There are already several forums and video streaming platforms for this; stop splitting the community up.
11. The Dota 2 Twitch viewer count wont spike as much during these events, lowering overall visibility of Dota 2 to broader Twitch community.

Please consider this for your future events.

Edit update(s): Comments also mentioned stream duration limits; Flash is a problem (ipads, chromecast etc); FB navigation issues; FB stream no mobile support, fullsize video clips edges; Twitch emotes nokappa; VODs flickering; emotes across the video; not working on xbox; following-day spam from FB to email asking for a long-term relationship; replays limited to 720p; browsing FB while video playing leaves video and causes multiple videos to play
