>>88292377Alright I'll give it a shot to explain to you why people dislike twitch in the context of holos.
Youtube has a strong box effect for associated streamers because of the recommendation algorithm. Most holo viewers watch many other holos, not just one. That means that if you found just one holo, whether through their music or streams, eventually you get recommended all other holos. This also works for strongly affiliated streamers like Ui or Patra.
Youtube keeps VODs forever unlike Twitch, unless you're grandfathered in.
Youtube's recommendation algorithm is further gamed by holos, by making covers of popular songs. This means that if you're an anime viewer watching covers, eventually you're going to get a holo popping up in your recommendations with the cover.
Twitch has none of this.
Instead Twitch has front page recommendations, and the algorithm for them seems to be really fucking bad. Apparently it thinks that since I subscribed to dooby3d I would be interested in doodybeard.
Twitch has the Browse category, which sorts by games. This heavily biases away from vtubers and towards fleshstreamers because surprise, fleshstreamers outnumber vtubers. This also means if you want to be discovered you have to be constantly chasing the latest hot game instead of just playing niche stuff.
Twitch shared emotes can create a scarily homogeneous chat culture across the website if the streamer does not have strong enough emotes to override them. It can be very difficult to overwhelm the memetic pull that chatters go through to type KEKW when the streamer fails, 4Head when the streamer fails something to be easy, or MonkaW when something scary happens. This effectively results in a sort of newspeak that constrains viewers to a particular mode of thinking.
