/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Many vtuber channels are growing well on Twitch recently, and more and more indies continue to make the switch
It's pretty obviouis with the end of Corono; the more casual/normie viewers return to their daily life and forgtet vtubers, and Youtube is the most entry-level site possible, 2nde to google searcH, everyone know about it and use it, though mostly to watch VODs.

Meanwhile Twitch has the enthusiasts, it's been the face of streaming for 7+ years and the audience there is dedicated, they spend more on average, they spend pend more time watching, more likely to buy merch, overall it's a growing audience sure it's a niche in itself, a lot of people never heard of twitch but wouldn't watch your stream even if they heard, what matters is that they reach audience who is interested in streams and willing to look at new streams if it's recommended to them via algo or raid or gift sub. I keep seeing people losing their mind about the VODs being kept a month or two by default, but that's exactly my point, it was never an issue for most viewers, because they're here for the live. Maybe check the one they just missed. But never to watch some obscure VOD from last year. If someone thinks it's important they can automate archiving on VODs site like Youtube.
Also the oh so evil "twitch culture" anons seems scared off, a stream's culture depends on the streamer not the plateform, big youtube streams also have a garbage and spammy chat. Many twitch indies have a perfectly good chat.

All in all especially at the moment any indie staying on Youtube is just sabotaging themselves, and most do this because Hololive being the biggest company people do just like them without understanding they're not at all in the same position.
