Youtube Live has way more viewers overall than Twitch does. But it only has a fraction of the gaming views. Just people streaming LoL on Twitch is about 15% of the entirety of Youtube's gaming streams.
So, why does this matter? Essentially, most of Youtube Live is not livestreamers as we traditionally think of them. If you look at the top Youtube Live channels, it's shit like Brazilian football, Al Jazeera Arabic and ABS-CBN (largest flip TV channels).
So, as far as streaming as we think of it (including all vtubers), Twitch is the much larger platform. It's probably about 5x as big as Youtube right now. If we include everything else, from news broadcasts to online TV channels, it's the opposite, Youtube is about 5x bigger. But I have no idea why you'd do that, because there's essentially zero overlap between people who watch sports and news broadcasts and people who watch streamers, they're not competing for audience in any meaningful way.
