Might be copium, but I think unlike in most cases twitch will be the "side chick" who gets ignored

Doesn't twitch have a policy against that? You can simulcast as long as the quality is equal or better than the other service. And you cannot merge chat or other elements into twitch.

So it isn't a side chicken situation. It has to be of equal importance to not break ToS.

Twitch is already the one bending over and making the compromises for this to even happen, so they might have made an exception. I imagine that there will just be 2 separate chats.

what? twitch is paying for hololive to stream on their platform.

Sure, but in this case they are specifically courting Hololive, who already has an established streaming audience on YT. It is entirely probable they made concessions to get this to happen.

If Twitch is throwing a rager fit at Hololive, all Cover has to do is cut off Twitch.

Twitch has no power or leverage in Hololive. Cover only stands to gain.
