Wow Oi leads Filler 5-0. Another big upset coming up
Finally, Garcia KO Gorst in a hill hill match. Final rack probably longest rack of millenium

When is a double hill match extremely boring and unwatchable? Well, the best approach is to have these problems all come together at the same time:
1) The players take a long break before the double hill rack. Only in pool do players routinely de-energize the biggest moments by taking a break.
2) No shot clock is in use.
3) A dozen shots in a row take over a minute each.
Despite some solid play by both, Roland Garcia vs Fedor Gorst is a candidate for the most boring double hill match ever played.
Why must pool so often allow special moments to fade by allowing these unnecessary interruptions in play? Why does pro pool tolerate such lethargically slow play?
The game, to me, is rendered virtually unbearable when it is packaged in this way.

Yes, for the few that managed to stay awake until they got there.

It’s pretty funny some people think it’s logical to have a shot clock on the stream table but not on the others, effectively two rule sets in play. It does not matter if this is common, done before or logistically hard to do because limited refs or whatever excuse one wants to present.
Two rule sets should never be in play in the same event. Some players like to play fast, some slow, if you are implementing a shot clock in a larger event it should impact every player in the event. Adjusting to the conditions is the players job.

It's the streaming table, it's meant to have viewers - nobody wants to watch players taking a minute or more per shot.
Both players are playing with the same shotclock on the same table.
Like you said, players should adjust

The other ones should too is what I said, you misunderstood. Two rule sets is a joke, there is no rationale that makes it a good thing. It’s irrelevant that the stream table is meant to have viewers. People will watch exciting matches and checkout for boring ones long or short. Personally I agree with a shot clock, slow players can stop a tournament in its tracks, but every one should play under the same rules.
I agree with you in principle that all matches should be under the same ruleset. However, with pool's limited budget, I think this is good compromise. I never, ever, ever, want to watch a match with no shot clock as a fan.
