Twitch vs Youtube

It's amazing how Twitch never self-desctructed with all their bad decisions

I am glad that Youtube is making bigger moves on the streaming side. Hopefully it makes Twitch do better

If YouTube fixed the chat it would become the obvious answer. The other features it lacks aren't a game changer for me. The chat is the biggest issue.

One thing Charlie overlooked is the stream consistency from the viewer side. If you don't have good internet a YouTube stream is waaay better than twitch

Something I also really like about Youtube is the ability to NOT immediately go live when you press Start Streaming in OBS. This allows you to preview your stream to yourself first before going live publicly, checking bitrate quality, delay, connection etc. ...it also helps when you accidentally misclicked Start Streaming when you wanted to record offline

Getting those "face jump scares" as thumbnails for Charlie's stream is something that makes my day just a little better

charlie's ability give credit where credit is due while also giving genuine critique in a constructive way is what makes him such a force as a commentator

And don't forget, viewers who tune into a YouTube stream don't have to watch 10 unskipable 30 second ads before getting to the stream to give the stream a chance

Another feature that Charlie did not mention is the ability to schedule streams (up to a year from now). Charlie doesn't really use this since he just goes live whenever he wants to but creating a scheduled stream HELPS A LOT in terms of notifying and reminding your viewers about your stream. Scheduled streams notifies subscribers like an hour or half an hour before the stream starts and notifies again once the streamer goes live. Going live out of nowhere somehow reduces the chance of this notifications to work and I hope YT fixes that but scheduling your stream really helps.

The cat house is gone, this right there, this is when they decided to not mash pissers anymore
