>>8542085How many normalfags use Twitch versus Youtube? Even for people who do use Twitch regularly, do you have it open if you haven't already decided to watch a particular streamer? For most of the audience who came because they watched clips, clicking on a link to a website where they might not even have an account is too much work. Even if they do, they'll probably never be around to catch any streams - because normal people don't keep Twitch open for nothing. On the other hand, people use Youtube for cat videos, for work, to play their own music.
As a current viewer I am very happy because the quality of my streams is raised. But as a holo? I'll quickly notice the comparative lack of growth. Even when that growth comes, it brings people you don't want. Due to how the site functions, it prioritizes viewers who watch for a particular game over people who come for the streamer. You thought Minecraft kiddies and Apex autists were bad? It's much more amplified on Twitch.
It used to be even worse - at least now they have the 'live channels we think you'll like feature - but that's even worse in a way because holos are giants. That feature makes it way more likely for viewers to flow away from holos and to indies, not the other way around. (Hell even as I speak I realize I've been distracted from Nene's stream because Twitch recommended a vtuber from my country. That literally never happens on Youtube.)
