On the GOL homepage we have the livestreamer sidebar, which a few people put their livestreams in. Overall though, only around 5 people ever actually note their livestreams (it's mostly like 2 people...) in it so I am considering dropping it.
Before I decide, I would like to see how many people actually like it.
Thank you.

The only times i watch some livestreams are when theres something huge for linux to be showcased and i happen to have free time at that time and then i usually find the livestream from discord or twitter.

I find the concept interesting - I see the section and often think "this looks neat, maybe I could watch it if things work out", but then it never worked out? The few times I caught Samsai streaming, for example, was through Mastodon (because I browse there more often, while here I just come a few times to read a few articles). Having a place that aggregates streamers is potentially cool, but I don't know what would make it more useful.

I don't watch livestreams when they are "live", and replays only if they promise to contain information that isn't available elsewhere – a promise unkept more often than not.
As such, I only come across "live" stream recordings if I explicitly do a search for some topic, and avoid even those if at all possible.
The only period polling is for our own stream, which displays somewhere else.

Still wouldn't mind if it disappeared, but don't care too much either way ;)
Same reasoning as originally: hardly anyone actually used it, and I would prefer to have space for things that would just make more sense now and be more used.
If you're on Twitch, remember they have a "Linux" tag now which is a far better way to find people there.
