He streams as part of his job to make money. You can't currently do that on other websites and get the same benefit. I have never liked twitch but I have a pretty valid reason for using it. He wouldn't reach the audience he does there anywhere else except YouTube who don't pay much if anything for streaming and take a more significant cut of donations. People won't leave because the viable options aren't giving the same benefits, and it's not just about the viewers, but also the content creators. permalink fedilink source parent
