I agree. Keep it short and simple. Remove the unnecessary bloat.

My English tutor always said that, when in doubt, to go for two shorter sentences. Might not be the best way to create literature, but is always a good tip when writing manuals or documentation.

I would simplify it further:-
"Only users who start streaming inside peak hours will be affected".
|
|
|
|
|
Or better:
Users streaming during peak hours may receive a modified master playlist.

"the peak hours" is awkward -- normally, the phrase is without "the", as in "during peak hours"
"and they will thus not be affected" => remove it entirely. "will get the unmodified master playlist" is sufficient. Or: "will not be affected and will get the unmodified master playlist."
"will get the" => "will receive". "Get" is sort of low class and probably lacking descriptiveness.
"will get the the unmodified" => I'm assuming the second "the" was a typo?
Consider reversing the logic of the sentence:
"Users who start streaming during peak hours will receive a modified playlist. Users who start streaming just before peak hours are unaffected."

And while we are at it, we could replasse all the 'will's with 'shall', thus making it clear that there shall be no discussions about this.

You have two 'the's in that sentence

Bless you, bless you, bless you for using "affected" instead of the abomination that is "impacted."
Wisdom teeth are sometimes "impacted." Otherwise that word should rarely be used
|
|

|
In my opinion, "get" can always be replaced by a better word!
I use "get" way too much in my own speech; I try to never use it in a document.
You get understand my point?

Users who initiate streaming during peak hours will be affected. Users who initiate streaming before peak hours will not be affected, and acquire the unmodified master playlist.

Yeah just realised I didn't really link the two parts of the clue together properly though - will wait a bit before tweaking it.

I thought it linked pretty well - clear, and fairly easy IMHO.
At least you know you won't be up tomorrow!
