Fuslie reveals \u201cterrifying\u201d reason she left Twitch for YouTube YouTube: fuslieLeslie \u2018Fuslie\u2019 Fu recently jumped ship from Twitch in favor of an exclusive streaming contract with YouTube \u2014 and she says one \u201cterrifying\u201d reason was a big part of her decision. Fuslie was one of the most popular streamers on Twitch before her decision to move to YouTube on September 7, 2022. Now, she\u2019s joined the other elite broadcasters who\u2019ve made their homes on the website, including Valkyrae, Ludwig, CouRage, and many more. While she initially teased the move with a tearful stream a week prior, she didn\u2019t officially make her grand reveal until recently\u2026 and now, fans have a better idea of why she chose to join another platform. Fuslie says Twitch\u2019s DMCA process prompted her to make YouTube switch According to Fuslie, Twitch\u2019s handling of DMCA takedowns was a big part of the reason she made the switch. The streamer claimed that YouTube has a more streamlined method of keeping track of one\u2019s content, while Twitch had a more \u2018sink or swim\u2019 situation happening on their end of things. \u201cOn Twitch it\u2019s like, \u2018Hey, two years ago there\u2019s this clip, you were listening to Ariana Grande, and you listened to it two times in one day, so that\u2019s two strikes on your channel,’\u201d she joked. \u201c\u2018One more and we\u2019re gonna have to permanently take your channel down.’\u201d \u201cWhen I was talking to the Twitch higher-ups \u2014 I was talking to people high up at Twitch \u2014 and they were saying, \u2018Hey, there\u2019s nothing we can do to help you,’\u201d she added. \u201cThat freaked me out.\u201d \u201cI was like, \u2018Oh don\u2019t worry, I have connections at Twitch, I\u2019ll just tell them. Surely they can do something. When I messaged them and they literally gave me the, \u2018Hey, all we can do is tell you to take down every clip you have, but we don\u2019t have a system for you to remove those clips,\u2019 \u2026 To hear that from them, directly\u2026 was terrifying.\u201d For Fuslie, avoiding the fear of \u201cliterally almost losing my career\u201d was a big factor in choosing YouTube \u2014 a huge change for her life as a streamer, but seemingly a welcome one for her peace of mind (and her financial security). Fuslie is just the latest streamer to join YouTube, following Myth\u2019s switch from Twitch just a month prior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
