In the midst of the \u2018A Day Off Twitch\u2018 boycott, streaming star TimTheTatman announced that he would be departing the streaming behemoth for the greener pastures of YouTube Gaming, Twitch\u2019s biggest competitor. This follows the announcement that DrLupo would also be switching over to YouTube\u2018s streaming platform.

Fellow Twitch star Asmongold has voiced his opinion on the YouTube phenomenon, musing that it may be the revolution that the streaming universe needs. Asmongold on DrLupo & TimTheTatman YouTube move Tweeting out shortly after the September 1 announcement, the self-professed professional neckbeard predicts that major names switching platforms will be a \u201creal shakeup\u201d for streaming. \u201cWith the newest wave of big creators like Tim and Lupo moving to YouTube I think we could start to see a real shakeup in streaming overall,\u201d he writes. \u201cNow, we\u2019re beginning to see entire viewership ecosystems moving rather than individual streamers. YouTube is making the right decisions.\u201d With the newest wave of big creators like Tim and Lupo moving to YouTube I think we could start to see a real shakeup in streaming overall Now, we’re beginning to see entire viewership ecosystems moving rather than individual streamers YouTube is making the right decisions \u2014 Zack (@Asmongold) September 1, 2021 When asked whether or not he would consider a move to YouTube, Asmon revealed that \u201cif I thought my streams would get more viewers there I\u2019d stream on YouTube.\u201d Joking that \u201cI don\u2019t really care about the money, but a contract with a 20 million signing bonus would help too,\u201d it seems like the MMO king definitely hasn\u2019t ruled out a YouTube switch. Most months I have 2x more views monthly on YouTube than I do on Twitch, if I thought my streams would get more viewers there I’d stream on YouTube I don’t really care about the money, but a contract with a 20 mil signing bonus would help too \ud83d\ude42 \u2014 Zack (@Asmongold) September 1, 2021 Asmongold boasts 2.4 million followers on Twitch, a number that continues to skyrocket in tandem with the popularity of his Final Fantasy XIV Online streams.
