Twitch takes on YouTube, allows uploads of pre-recorded content
Twitch streamers previously archived their shows to YouTube, but many of them use the Twitch VOD format now, since it takes less time and is mostly done automatically. Now, users will be able to upload previously-recorded videos that didn’t originate on the site.
The new system is simply called Twitch upload and is still in beta. It basically allows anyone to upload edited videos of whatever, similar to YouTube, whatever the format. These uploads don’t have expiration dates, unlike stream archives.
For streamers, this also means they can download past broadcasts to edit and re-upload as new videos.
Twitch is already planning to add more features to the service, such as user chat and other similar options. You can opt into open beta now.

Hopefully twitch changes their layout if they start doing this, it truly is a hassle to look at previous recordings.

I'm actually happy to see this, YouTube has been going down hill for awhile now and I hope to see a rebirth in gaming videos. I will try uploading on their and see how it works tomorrow. :)

Too bad Twitch probably has the same amount (if not, more) of censorship as YouTube

This is really a cool idea for streamers who are up and comers. They can release game content that some higher ups might not have, and thus get more viewers!
