To my art streaming friends

To any friends, followers, etc. who use Picarto, specifically,
I'm sorry. After a number of weeks going back and forth with Picarto about some inconsistencies with their recent changes and connections to my region, my ISP, my browser, etc., it seems that they are unable to find out why I specifically am getting such terrible socket connections and incredible (that is, upwards of 30 seconds and sometimes even as bad as a full 2 minutes) delay with the video and audio data. Worse when in multistreams.
The only things theyconclude after all of this is that there's something wrong specifically with my account on Picarto, that is causing some sort of bandwidth throttling. As somebody who works with clientside content, this makes me scratch my head, because this implies that somebody moderating my account has flagged me for something. Which... makes no sense, since I don't stream, and I figure I would've been notified if I had violated some rules or terms of service for the platform. But the Picarto techs don't have any such flags on file for me. Which only makes me more confused.
In any case, the headache has gotten so massive, since the problem has not been resolved, that I am axing my Picarto account, so I'll no longer be logging in to watch any Picarto streams. I'm sorry if this is a problem, but there was literally nothing that I could do to fix my connection issues, and there didn't seem to be anything that Picarto could do on their end to find out why it was happening in the first place.
