Before you can be able to appreciate Twitch would be when you give it more time of usage like you have given to YouTube. What you've said is the real fact. I've given my time to YouTube, if I offer such time to Twitch, I might say opposite thing. But at this time, my project is different from gaming, assume I want to live stream video games, I would consider twitch an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go on with the YouTube channel since it's going to be what would work best for you. Maybe in the future, you can start up something with Twitch and see where that takes you.

Good luck with that my friend whenever you are ready to take that step forward with using Twitch. I'm sure that with your experience on YouTube, it's not going to be too hard for you to use Twitch.

I decided to go with YouTube first via a football niche channel, to seek experience then later I can switch to video game to further enhance my live streaming career.

Kane99 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I really like twitch and it's ability to let fans support you. I feel like YouTube has its perks, but I feel twitch is where you get a lot more options for both the streamer and viewers. YouTube is catching up I guess, but twitch is still the best place to stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 YouTube have same equivalent userbase just as Facebook, twitch userbase can't be compared to what we have with YouTube. And YouTube suit my plans at the moment, I had an account with twitch but it seems I've forgotten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook is actually worse off in the streaming side of things. The options are there, but no one really bothers to stream on FB compared to twitch and YouTube. But it is growing so who knows, that could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even viewers find it very difficult to go to Facebook for videos like they do on YouTube or Twitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the creators of those Facebook reels are generating revenue from what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean you need to make comic videos, you can just show off your lifestyle videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started seeing the features on Facebook recently about 2 months ago but never cared to have it checked out. It was on Instagram that I have watched videos made using it. I'm guessing it's the same thing with Facebook as well since they are owned by the same person - Mark Zuckerberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, mark zuckerberg brought the feature to Facebook, it was only on Instagram. And again the feature is monetized, those creators of the reels are paid doing those short videos just as YouTube pay it's #short creators. I created one short video before, but I didn't get monetized because it didn't reach 1k views mark which YouTube shorts monetization starts from.
