Justin11 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 PayPal account limitation are too weird, just a single mistake, or no mistake can get your account limited especially when your country isn't approved in using PayPal and you went ahead and bypass the protocol. At least with twitch or YouTube, you can enjoy your time pushing lots of video contents, only getting penalized when their is too many negative reports.

YouTube didn't have streaming until, maybe the last 5 years or so. I may be off, but Twitch was doing streaming before YouTube if I'm not mistaken. I'm pretty sure you're right on that. So, if you're wrong, we're both wrong. 1 hour ago, Heatman said: They probably just decided to screw you guys over because they know that there's nothing you people can do about it. It's just like what PayPal does with limiting users account. That's possible. When it happened, it didn't take long to find an article about another Twitch account being mystery banned.

YouTube started as a service to upload content. I believe Justin.tv (Twitch before their name change) starting streaming first, and then YouTube jumped on. But I remember it taking a long time, maybe when Twitch became a thing. harleyqbx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why it Twitch seem be more powerful in streaming because that's the foundation with which they started. YouTube had to join in order not to be taken out of business completely by Twitch competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube probably saw they were losing audience that wanted to see live entertainment to Twitch, and decided to get in before too much damage was done. I wonder what's going to be the next big thing that's going to make both YouTube and Twitch change in order to compete. I'm all for competition amongst the tech companies. I'm pretty anti-monopoly. It stifles innovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I mean hell, YouTube didn't have a clip option until recently. Twitch has had one for years, while YouTube seems to just be starting on it. Hell I took a clip from a video weeks ago, and YouTube outright deleted it on me. You don't usually see that happen on Twitch. 2 hours ago, harleyqbx said: Yeah.

It stifles innovation. They've been losing an audience for a long time now. Creators are having to adapt to the changes, or get out, and a lot of my favorite YouTubers don't make the content they used to because of all the changes. I think YouTube is a dying place sadly. It's not popular when it comes to game streaming, and I don't think it'll ever catch up to Twitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course, there's always a possibility that what happened to you guys wasn't the first time it's happened. It's just that you people aren't aware such thing already happened in the past.

YouTube played the catch up game with Twitch on making use of streaming services. I think that it's why Twitch is more strong in that field now.

Competition is always good for business and it favors the customers or users of such services more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only way they will keep giving their users their very best services, otherwise we would see some of the things we witness with some gaming companies that have monopoly over a game's franchise (EA in FIFA). harleyqbx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In as much as what you said about twitch been a more better platform for streaming I am still very much comfortable viewing streams on YouTube than twitch. I only started using twitch some months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 YouTube got huge user base, I don't think twitch is better. I feel settled around YouTube, I wouldn't go over to twitch anytime soon. I have an ongoing project I'm doing on YouTube, I just want to grow my channel there and not having dual thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the case here for most people with YouTube and Twitch. Most users will always pick what they are used to over what's still new to them.

It will be difficult for you to dump YouTube for Twitch since it's where you started your project on and it's where you have more background knowledge and strong foundation. Before you can be able to appreciate Twitch would be when you give it more time of usage like you have given to YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasher Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Because of my obsession with RDR2 , the last of us and call of duty which is what prompted me to open a twitch account as I heard from folks that they got really good video gamers streaming their gameplay on the platform, aside these i have always been using YouTube for all my video games streaming activities.
