Ok so... Do you all prefer Twitch or Youtube for livestreams?
I gotta livestream some place new for a while I guess.

I've heard a lot of people like YT for live streaming, but I've never tried it. From my impression of YT vs Twitch this is what I know: Twitch: when you end your stream it's common to raid into another stream, thus growing your community. I think it's also more common for people to "lurk" in twitch streams, aka have it on in the background. Discoverability is more related to your own promotion and growth in the communities that you stream in. YT: At the end of your stream, you can drop everyone that was watching into one of your own videos. It's a really nice boost to your own channel. YT has a better discoverability algorithm, and people expect to watch both live shows and posted videos. Sorry for the long post, I've been thinking about this a lot for my own stuff. At the end of the day, it should be the service that works best for you.
I got in on a few raids when I was hanging with friends on there. There legit is an entire culture over there I'm not familar with, but Art Victim, my friend on Discord, she is. I will for sure look into YT a bit more too. But looks like TT is back....for now?
I have a twitch that I rarely use, but yt is (I think) more accessable for most people. But I've only started following streams in the last year or so, so wtf do I know, lol.
Lol I got on durring the pandemic, had the account for a few years before that but never used it. I mostly got on to watch my friends stream, who were laid off from work and thats all they were doing.
I don't have Twitch, but if that's the best direction I'm willing to learn it.
I have it but never really use it, but also willing to learn more lol. If thats where the cool kids are going lol.
I don't have Twitch either. Was considering adding it but just never got around to it.
I have it but never really use it.
I don’t have Twitch - I guess I’ll have to go check it out!!
