    I’d say it’s harder to get big as just a streamer. Mainly just because twitches recommended system is terrible. If not non existent. Ya gotta have a mix.

    I’ve been streaming since 2015 and almost at 900. It is for sure a grind but I’m not stopping. I have a story to tell when I’m on top!

    Be a youtuber before streaming bc that way you have a built in audience.
  • @mrtrollya247
    Streaming is 100% more difficult once you start streaming you realize how entertaining you actually are without post editing I say build an audience on YouTube then bring them to twitch

    I think it depends on content that you do. Best advice is do something that you enjoy watching and get inspiration on it. There os no need to get complicated about other stuff like editing, software etc. Just upload content that you are willing to share and you know everyone can enjoy. Treat it like something that you can share to a family member or friends. And if it goes viral, then you have idea and foundation to build up your channel. Regardless if you stream and posting yt videos.

    Everything is a grind and the important part is ensuring you don't give up on any dream you have.

    I got respect for both, I think they both take an insane hustle. Maybe a different kind, but it’s a hustle either way. And one’s easier than the other at some thing and vice versa. Streaming like scarra said once you get somewhere you can autopilot it but the hard part is getting ANYONE to watch your stream starting out. Meanwhile posting full on videos that are up forever….you get noticed and views easier cuz people can watch it whenever and therefore also choose to subscribe whenever. It’s just a different hustle but they’re both a hustle

    Twitch is prob harder, u have to be on all the time, it’s not like u can edit what u do or say out, so u always have to keep it in the back of ur mind. Yt on the other hand if ur recording n u say sum fucked up shit u can edit it out. Just my opinion btw
  • I'm a new streamer. Definitely a lot involved in streaming. To upload a video a week on YT I can do the editing anytime in the week from footage but with streaming you have to YT and keep to your live schedule. its wild sometimes. Let alone handling all the plugins and socials on top.

    I’d probably go streamer here as coming from experience it can be difficult to be able to do things like count sub count or any of that stuff especially if you stream on console also for small streamers it’s harder be able to manage school/work having a nice life for example spending time with family and streaming 5+ hours a day this is my opinion if you don’t agree I apologize please don’t hate
  • @Dwightlockerhumper
    You can literally just play a game and stream it vs playing the same game for the same amount of time but spending 8 to 10 hours editing it a good way
  • @GingaTea01
    I genuinely prefer streaming, but that’s just because I hate editing, I don’t really care if I get big while streaming, but I’d love to get up to 1000 average views per stream in like a year or two
  • @TheSafeHav3n
    I do both, which in my opinion is the best because then your followers from YouTube, Tiktok etc. Can come over to your Twitch
  • @FoxyAreku
    If someone actually is successful as just a streamer without being a youtuber as well then i have huge respect for how lucky they must have gotten.
  • @mikegold3130
    If you want to be a streamer you better do tons of research and have a lot of money saved up because it’s one of the most expensive things to get into when it comes to content creation.
  • @KiraAsakura14
    depends. If you can think fast. Stream. If you like setting things up. Make videos. That's a generalization but there's alot of factors into it. In the end "Effort x 1(undefined luck) = benefits."
  • @parisazoghi
    both are difficult to make it far but if you are only doing one of them twitch is miles harder there isn’t anyway for people to find your streams unless they are scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the page but if you do both your streams are your footage then you just edit the parts you want and the youtube can help boost your twitch

    YouTubers: - Film content (vlog, games, review, reaction, challenge, news update etc.) - Edit in or out moments you want: make it monetizable - Edit how long you want the video to be - Able to choose music before uploading: use non copyright music or you have rights to - demonetized video can be re-edited and reuploaded - Can only block troll comments: Blacklist certain words or phrases in comments - Could hire Camera crew, editor, manager, etc. Twitch streamers: - Livestreams (Just Chatting, Games, Podcast, ASMR, etc.) - Livestream however long you want/can stay up - Pay attention to chat and donations - Constantly have to think before speaking - Unable to control “sudden moments” - Watch out for copyright music: mute stream - End stream before being taken down - Able to ban obnoxious viewers - Hire Moderators Similarities: - Same rules and guidelines - 3 strikes, You’re out! - Will try to take down ban creator’s alt acc’s - Sponsors and Ads: use premium to get rid of ads - Viewers, subscribers and donators - Hire people for extra help

    streaming is way harder to get big in. youtube you can get lucky and have 1 video just pop tf off to start your career. streaming you don't just have 1 stream just pop off. as for the content aspect, youtube is way harder if you're doing it solo. all the editing and post-production stuff you need to do in order to make it appealing to the average viewer is much harder than hitting the go live button and just sending it.
