Justin.tv was created by Mr. Justin for the sole purpose of lifecasting. Although this awesome young man had a great thing goin', the dude couldn't keep a camera strapped to his head until 2050. After time this site was transformed into something wonderful. A website where you can come and follow in his footsteps. You can lifecast 24/7... things were great.
When I first joined, I wasn't a hot shot... but over time, for some unidentifiable reason, people actually seemed to enjoy watching me. So I kept at it, and soon my lifecast/showcast was pretty damn big!
Something has come to change all of this. It's arabic, spanish, french, etc. sports and news channels who are taking the suffix ".tv" a bit too literally. MagicRich, who had an average of 300 viewers per show, is now lucky to get 150 --- these sports channels are taking over what used to be a great site.
Let's not let this happen. We know better than that. This petition is to vanish all foreign channels and sports/news channels off of Justin.tv for the sake of it english-speaking audience, the original audience, the lifecasters.
Thanks. - Aiiron
The response to this petition has been significant and confirms that many others share this perspective on the direction of our community. Seeing this level of engagement reminds me why it is necessary to advocate for the original purpose of this platform.

Seriously tired of clicking on random channels just to find soccer games or news in another language. This used to be about real people sharing their lives not a cable box substitute. Fix this.
