Myth explains why he left Twitch for YouTube Gaming YouTube: MythAli \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani was once one of the faces of Twitch during Fortnite\u2019s heyday. He\u2019s still a prominent force in streaming \u2014 but now in the red colors of YouTube Gaming \u2014 with the star explaining why money was the ultimate factor in his platform swap. After a legacy of streaming on Twitch, popular streamer Myth has committed to streaming exclusively on YouTube. The jump from Team Purple to Team Red has been a popular one in the gaming space ever since Dr Disrespect was practically exiled to the Google-owned platform. In the years since, big names from TimtheTatman to Ludwig and LilyPichu have changed allegiances. Myth is the latest in that long chain as YouTube tries to break into the streaming marketplace and there was one big reason why he took the offer \u2014 the sheer amount of money. \u201cSo first things first, why did I move over?\u201d Myth said on his debut YouTube stream, getting right to the topic at hand. \u201cWe all know the answer to that question: the f**king bag bro!\u201d When discussing the amount, Myth states \u201cit was an amount that would have been stupid of me to turn down.\u201d While he won\u2019t disclose the exact amount, and is attempting to stay on the conservative side, it\u2019s evident he\u2019s ecstatic with the number \u2014 the man danced with happiness on stream when thinking about the money. Outside of monetary reasons, Myth states that it was \u201ca choice that made sense on a lot of levels.\u201d When pondering the move, he asked himself questions about where he is, where he sees himself going, and who he is as a creator. During his discussion with the YouTube team, he confidently stated that they understand his vision, and he understands theirs. \u201cIn general, I just felt like they were a team that was genuinely invested in who I am and what I could bring to the table in terms of content creation and personality.\u201d What does it ultimately mean for the streamer wars though? Though many big name streamers are making the move, Twitch\u2019s ecosystem will likely remain unphased by their competition \u2014 even if it seems concerning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
