Yeah things went incredibly smoothly throughout the entire marathon so don't jump to yelling at the staff for no reason imo, especially when the problem is your fault

Basically there's been high demand in the past for quick uploads of videos during the marathon because a ton of skeevy people were uploading their own and monetizing them to hell and back (including a few people who were straight-up promoting their own lovely runs on the same channels that were easily confusable as official) so this time around they had uploads going up on youtube quickly as a stopgap between pointing people to the vods and waiting for the high-quality uploads to come out later. Some of the stopgap uploads aren't the best quality mainly because they were always going to be replaced and all the staff wprking on the audio were rightly focusing on how everything came out on-stream instead of the recordings.

You're watching the stopgap version (which was even marked unlisted!) instead of the official version because you mistook someone's unofficial playlist for an official one. Here's the HQ version:

Huh, wonder why they wouldn't just delete the broken videos instead of unlisting them, since all the playlists on youtube have the obsolete, broken ones in them.

Also, it seems that, between the first post and just now, that like a hundred new videos just got uploaded to their page, so I guess they're uploading the fixed versions of a bunch of videos right now?

And the actual question from before, why does it take so long to change consoles/games? Like what's the process outside of unplugging/plugging things in?

- Making them unlisted should have been good enough, though making them private or deleting them should help for denser people
- there's been over a hundred of the new versions uploaded for weeks and UA's still constantly working on getting more and more up, so no you just missed all the ones that were fixed (maui mallard is three weeks old)
- there's a hell of a difference between plugging in a different console into your tv at home and plugging it into dedicated streaming and recording hardware while simultaneously setting up microphones and other audio, swapping people in and out at all stations, and checking to make sure nothing got hosed up along the way.
