And at that point the question becomes, why bring these viewers to Twitch? If you can build an audience on YouTube, that’s your income right there, you don’t need to stream for Twitch where you’ll make a lot less money. Either you do it for the love or you don’t do it.
Aside from those who have like 5k viewers (<0.1% of streamers), Twitch creators make less money than they would on another platform with another kind of content. This is good for me as an audience member because it means most streamers (that i watch anyway) are doing it out of passion, but it’s bad for the platform because it means they’re not profitable. Daddy Bezos can pull the plug on the Twitch money pit any day
