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 is better for seeing the chat next to the video. YouTube is better to watch a stream that is in progress from the beginning.

Twitch is better for audience integration like what happens in dougdoug’s stream, and unless it’s some major event or well produced ttrpg I can’t be arsed to watch unedited content.

YouTube. Twitch is cancer. Also you can rewind, start over, etc in the middle of a stream. You’re not going to miss anything.

Plus, you can set the speed to 1.5x and catch up to live, if you want.

Currently twitch because there are the people, I like to see streaming their games.

I would prefer YouTube because no advertisements due to uBlock. I know there are twitch adblockers but they don’t work very well.

Also twitch seems to be filled with softcore/ lots of almost sexual content which I don’t want to see.
