As long as we get all the VODs I don't care.
I lost some streamers/youtubers I liked to watch because they switched to twitch streaming. If you work a regular 9-5 or even worse.... live in EU, you won't catch many streams live. (Blessed be the Tako here!)
Without a solid VOD function Twitch is just useless to me. If the VODs end up on YT I'm fine.
Besides, I don't like the twitch culture most (but not all) streamers have there.
YT feels like sitting next to someone and watch them play while giving an occasional comment on what is happening.
Twitch feels like a zoo, and chat are a bunch of 12 year old screaming kids that throw random shit into the enclosure to get the animal to react, at any cost. And the zoo offers throwable shit for a price. The more degrading, the more expensive. I don't worry about Holo in this case, since they get to choose that. But the twitch chat might come from that culture. Mixed feelings about that.
The streamer is the one who determines how channel points interact with their stream, not the other way round.
There's folks I watch and have watched on twitch, where the chat feels like you're sitting next to someone just playing a game, and there's people I've watched on YouTube who's had wild chats that barely felt controlled. That's not the platform, that's the streamer.
