Asmongold explains why he \u201chates\u201d Twitch culture and prefers YouTube YouTube: Asmongold TVPopular streamer Asmongold explained why he isn\u2019t a fan of Twitch\u2019s chat culture and revealed that he\u2019d prefer to broadcast on YouTube if he had to pick between the two platforms. Asmongold is one of the most prominent streamers on Twitch, where he boasts a whopping 3.4 million followers. Asmon has been streaming on the purple platform since 2014 and has been an active World of Warcraft player since 1997 \u2014 but despite his prominence on Twitch as an OG gamer, he\u2019s actually not a huge fan of the site\u2019s overall culture. The OTK co-founder discussed the topic during the very first episode of the Steak and Eggs podcast on February 17, where he admitted that, if he had to pick between YouTube and Twitch, he\u2019d switch to YouTube. Asmongold picks YouTube over Twitch as favored platform \u201cIf I had to pick one I had to do for the rest of my life, always, I would do YouTube,\u201d he admitted. When the group got to discussing the pros and cons of the two platforms, Asmon admitted that there were facets of each website that he liked and disliked, but claimed that he genuinely \u201chates\u201d the culture of Twitch chat. \u201cTo be honest, I hate Twitch culture,\u201d he continued.\u201d I think it sucks. \u2018Oh, wow. This is a cool new joke. Let\u2019s type it 400 times.\u2019 And then, \u2018Oh man, let\u2019s [play] Marco Polo. You say this word, I say this emote. How clever and funny.’\u201d (Topic begins at 56:06) He went on to agree that the predictability of Twitch chat has its benefits, but ultimately feels the platform has too many \u201cweird\u201d users. \u201cThere is a certain value on it. Like, have you ever had a cat, and you raise your arm up and the cat looks up at your arm? And you\u2019re like, \u2018I control you, b*tch.\u2019 I can kinda feel that way whenever I\u2019m doing my streams. Yeah, sure, but in general? I don\u2019t know, man. There are so many weird things that people do on Twitch. It\u2019s so weird.\u201d \u201cI think a lot more weirdos come from Twitch than YouTube, too,\u201d Emiru added, to which Asmongold agreed. Asmongold streams on Twitch and also uploads content to YouTube, where he has over 1.7 million subscribers. It seems like he\u2019s got the best \u2014 and worst \u2014 of both worlds\u2026 but with OTK announcing a slew of new content in the future, it looks like he\u2019ll have a lot to look forward to outside of his regular broadcasts (and that all-too-predictable Twitch chat).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
