Disguised Toast made the unexpected claim that streaming on YouTube is “harder” than on Twitch, given how difficult it is to succeed on the Google-owned platform. There are many things to compare between YouTube and Twitch streaming when doing so.
Although Twitch still reigns supreme in most areas, YouTube is steadily closing the gap and escalating its rivalry.
Valkyrae, Dr. Disrespect, Sykkuno, and LilyPichu are just a few of the well-known streamers who have already joined the red platform. Many well-known Twitch streamers have finally decided to switch networks, either for financial reasons or because they want more control over their content.
One of the biggest and most lucrative online markets is live streaming, but many streamers struggled with the new platform and its applicable algorithm in a desperate attempt to go viral.
The community recently witnessed yet another switch in the ongoing battle between YouTube and Twitch. After ten years, popular Twitch streamer LilyPichu switched to YouTube. After making an important choice, Disguised Toast now briefly outlined the differences between working on various platforms. He also suggested that it’s harder to succeed on YouTube than it is on Twitch.
Recently, Disguised Toast joined fellow host Scarra and guest anime expert Gigguk on the Offline TV podcast.
Disguised Toast addressed the key differences between Twitch and YouTube, the two main streaming platforms while discussing the ongoing platform switch and how streaming has grown to be one of the most well-liked professional avenues during the pandemic.
The Taiwanese-Canadian streamer claims that YouTube’s algorithm is a little “harder” to comprehend than Twitch’s. Not only that, but he also emphasized that YouTube has better work ethics.
Given that YouTube is designed for a variety of content types, including vlogs, short videos, and long-format features, whereas Twitch is a dedicated streaming platform, the latter’s algorithm does appear to be much more complex.
