Nintendo hates their fans, there is no other way they can be doing this.

Instead, YouTubers have a couple of options. The easiest, albeit disadvantageous option, instructs YouTubers to stream from a different account not associated with Nintendo’s program.

If it isn't apparent already, the Nintendo's Creator Program is a scam, stay well away.

Pretty much but let's be honest, are any of us surprised at this point?
 
Even I am surprised by this. I could not think that Nintendo would restrict such a big feature for their games.

I hate this Nintendo Creators Program. Honestly if Nintendo could get away with it, so can other companies, as you can see with ATLUS who restricted live streaming and uploading videos on Persona 5, similar to Nintendo.
 
This is difficult to hear when I used to be a fellow streamer back on ustream, and doing let's plays back in my young adulthood. What does Nintendo expect people to do? It advertises them, and they want to take such away? I know of course people are going around, bypassing rules and leaking roms they are not supposed to. (Looking at you recent people spoiling M&L+Bowser's Minions.)

There goes a good chunk of knowledge and free information on a game you might want to purchase, oops. Might as well go and get that copyright for jumping since everyone is freely doing it! (Sorry for joke.)

Goddamnit Nintendo. How can you create some of the greatest games to ever exist, and yet be so horrendously incompetent in other fields. They can barely create a functioning online system in 2017, and they have such backwards-ass stance on content creators and fan content. I really want to like you Nintendo but for God's sake get your head out your ass. But I fear as long as the company is still run by a bunch of old men, it's not gonna get better.
