Title. Curious if I should get a Twitch account or not as currently I only have YouTube. Not sure if I want another corpo ad machine in my life.
YouTube. Twitch is cancer. Also you can rewind, start over, etc in the middle of a stream. You’re not going to miss anything.
Kick—syphoning up as much thotwater as possible from thirst traps
In all honesty, I never messed with yt streaming and was quite chronically on twitch for almost ten years. Mostly hanging out in Aris’ streams listening to him talk trash and dicking around. But, his channel got so big and too overrun by overzealous mods that he doesn’t ban anyone unless you @ him with something stupid. The subject of Paul Walker came up and I was memeing like everyone else and put “Pedo Paul” as the most throwaway comment ever, and guess what? I was afk and came back to a permaban. I know it wasn’t Aris (the streamer) because I know he wouldn’t have given two shits about that. So, I was like, all the other streams I ever really watch are dark souls and re1 speedruns, might as well use this as an opportunity to be more productive with my time instead of hanging out in vacuous chat rooms absorbing the exact same content continuously.
I hungout in his stream for the vga’s to see the memefest I knew it would be, but I sort of look at it as a fun time while it lasted, and a gratuitous ban from my favorite streamer is what I needed to break away from the unproductive, rote addiction I had. Podcasts are a better alternative to background noise or multitasking anyway. At least for me.
Twitch because the points i can redeem to ask cool things ro creators
YouTube, but there are a few creators that only stream on Twitch that I like. The content is more important than the platform to me.
Also, weirdly, I find Twitch generally has the less toxic chat - Twitch as a company tends to be better at policing their platform while YouTube really doesn’t give a shit… Moderators are definitely more impactful, but Google really doesn’t give a shit about moderating.
