>>16210807They have no choice. YouTube is currently unloading a new feature that decimates live viewership and therefore makes it impossible for their talents to be paid (which prioritizes average monthly CCV over all).
YouTube will not improve, because they have a 15+ year track record of lying profusely to creators and consistently making their website worse no matter what backlash is
Cover will be forced to seek a partnership and/or move to Twitch, and after the initial meltdown from bitter brand loyalists and /pol/tards who let trannies not only live rent-free in their heads, but throw massive parties up there, (spoilers, YouTube has just as many trannies on staff in the american Corp office, they just dont parade them around as often) everyone will realize that 90% of the complaints about the site and its "culture" are a bunch of overblown panic
1. The site works fine, it just requires better than a pajeet potato to run, so those with garbagetrash devices and 0.001meg of download will have issues running it
2. "Twitch culture" doesn't exist. Each community and chat is its own bubble, and if people come in and are dusruptive there is this thing called a "moderator" that can just fucking ban them
3. "Oh no chat will be spammed oh no!" The average holos chat is already moving at a speed of 10 messgaes per second or more. When Slow Mode is applied on Twitch, that's about the same speed if not slower. Non issue
4. You dont have to allow raids if your that autistic, but you have to be a moron not to. Its maybe 20 seconds of elevated chat activity in exchange for hundreds and in some cases thousands of more viewers getting exposed to you, which increases the chances of hooking in more longtime viewers, and donators, which I'll remind you is the entire point of Covers existence, to make money
5. DMCAs are handled the exact same way on Twitch as they are on YouTube, and per capita there are actually far less DMCAs filed on Twitch year on year
6. It takes, and I am not kidding you here, exactly three mouse clicks to export a full VOD from Twitch to YouTube, so the "it has no VOD" complaint is nonsense as well. It is also incredibly easy to archive VODs on Twitch itself, it just takes a modicum of effort and channel organization
