CouRage explains why his sub-count drove him away from Twitch Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop recently announced his departure from Twitch and that his new home would be on YouTube. The streamer has now gone into detail on why he felt this was the best move. From Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins to Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek, a number of the top Twitch streamers have been jumping ship lately and many more could be set to follow in the near future. CouRage is the latest example of a hugely popular content creator parting ways with the platform and in a recent video on YouTube, his new full-time home, he explained just what drove him to the pivotal decision. Elaborating on the transition, CouRage expressed how being on Twitch imposed a \u201cfear of being tied down just for a sub-count button.\u201d \u201cWhen you\u2019re a full-time streamer and you have to rely on [the] sub-button and always pushing for sub-count, it kind of eats away at your opportunities to do things off-stream,\u201d he stated. Twitch streamers earn a great deal of their income through subscriptions, therefore, taking any time away from the platform can result in a loss of overall subscribers. This is the primary reason as to why CouRage felt it was time to step away from the platform. \u201cMan, if I don\u2019t go live today, then I\u2019m gonna lose this many subs,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd this many subs equates to this many dollars and it\u2019s what any streamer has to go through. It\u2019s why a lot of streamers don\u2019t take vacations.\u201d Describing life on YouTube, without having to constantly stress about the number of subscribers on his Twitch channel, CouRage detailed how \u201cit\u2019s such a freeing mindset,\u201d being able to stream on YouTube and focus on content simultaneously. \u201cNow doing this gives me the freedom to go and explore and take on more opportunities than I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d On a recent holiday in Japan for instance, he explained how he was able to \u201cactually really enjoy [himself] and not have this toxic mentality that [his] sub-count is going down while gone.\u201d While various other popular streamers took their communities over to Mixer, CouRage is one of the biggest personalities to transition from Twitch to YouTube, and move that he\u2019s promised will mean fans will \u201csee more of (him) than ever before.\u201d With close to two million subscribers, and daily videos garnering hundreds of thousands of views, it\u2019ll be interesting to see how well livestreams complement his frequent output.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
