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.
Twitch, for the community. I used to watch youtube streams and i’m still not even sure if they have raiding. Also drops, game integration, channel points.
I use my PC as a media machine in my living room. I absolutely use both. Twitch has the culture, while YouTube has the better video player.
Most importantly, just watch the streamer you want to watch live on the platform they choose.
I pay for YouTube premium so no ads there, and adblock works wonders for me and I don’t see ANY ads on twitch.
YouTube because of the better video controls.
No.
Youtube has better quality and rewind but twitch has more interesting chat, even if it is just spamming emojis. Twitch chat has a vibe, feels like you are in a stadium. Also for gaming streams, twitch is a must. Also you need a browser extension like 7tv to appreciate the chat.
