never seen any indication the algo cares much about vod length as far as recs go, see picrel, that account is only subbed to shiki there
it's more being a streamlet and the vibe of how youtube operates being more attractive to streamlets
it's not necessarily a bad thing, and there's a chance they'd do better with longer hours, but at least they usually aim for consistency and do the other youtube things regularly
I don't actually know of anyone intentionally keeping their youtube hours limited and doing bonus streams on twitch, most are just doing both at the same time
