YouTube or Twitch for streaming?

[Yarik]

If you're a streamer, which one of the platforms do you prefer - Twitch or YouTube? And what are the reasons for that?

I don't stream, but I feel Twitch is the better site. It's easier to build your channel there as the audience is more considerable. And also, the platform is specialised in streaming. But YouTube has been trying to get big streamers to move to their platform by offering them exclusive deals and this strategy seems to be working well for them. Even with that tho, I don't believe YouTube could beat Twitch in this aspect.

I play games. I am also on Youtube and Twitch. However, I am not streaming games on Twitch and Youtube. Twitch was basically created for gamers whereas youtube was created for sharing all kinds of video content. However, these days Twitch is used by all sorts of people, and youtube is also used for game streaming.
