twitch vs youtube

Why do people use twitch? i always use youtube because if i miss a round/match, i can go back and rewatch it. I think that the only downside to youtube is that theres no ttv emotes, and you can't reply to people, but i don't usually interact with chat so it doesn't really matter to me.

I only use Twitch when there are active drops. Otherwise I stick with Youtube.

twitch came before youtube livestreaming so ppl stayed with it. also youtube live sucks

theres no tarik watchparty

youtube clears tbh

quality matters

How ?

Youtube Quality 1440p
Twitch Quality 1080p

I just watch the tarik watch party which is why i use twitch. However idk what the people who are saying twitch has better quality is smoking, youtube has better encoding than twitch and realistically either way the streams are literally identical.

YouTube normally 10s behind for me and it's nice to be able to chat shit without using my real name on twitch

I think hes talking about the ui

Watch Partys is the main pull for Twitch
I use YT now for Sliggy (almost no ad's, rewind, No Buffer)
YT chat feature is just horrible but if your only watching the game I think YT >>> Twitch but most want to watch fav streamer to.

1. you can use the speedup function to get around the delay, unlike twitch
2. just change your name on yt

Youtube chat is somehow 100 times dumber that Twitch, but at least u can replay in YT 🤷‍♂️

idk why streamers don't multistream since now it's allowed on twitch

def youtube bc twitch ads are mindnumbingly long and the quality is shit

I have youtube premium so I watch youtube

ui on yt does kinda suck, BUT i still think the rewind feature and the speedup feature makes yt INFINITELY better than twitch

yt chat feels meaningless tho 😭

Nah twitch UI is the main reason I use twitch but if yt ui gets better I'm switching instantly

thats fair. i dont really interact with twitch chat since 60% of it is braindead takes and then 37% is copypastas
