Sykkuno claims the best thing about Twitch had nothing to do with the platform YouTube: SykkunoIn response to a fan who asked him whether he likes YouTube better than Twitch following his monumental move, Sykkuno claimed the best thing about Twitch actually had nothing to do with the platform itself. After exploding in popularity throughout the last couple of years on Twitch, Sykkuno announced a shock move to their biggest rival, YouTube, after reportedly being offered a \u201cridiculous\u201d amount of money to make the switch. He\u2019s since opened up about the move, admitting a major blunder on Twitch\u2019s behalf influenced his decision, and how he felt \u201creplaceable\u201d on their platform. Now, he claims the best thing about his former home at Twitch had nothing to do with them. After a fan asked him whether he likes YouTube more than Twitch, he replied: \u201cI will say that the thing I liked more about Twitch wasn\u2019t even Twitch. It was just the community there, which is kind of weird to say because I guess that\u2019s part of it.\u201d He explained that he never felt like he had any sort of \u201cattachment\u201d to Twitch. Instead, it was more about his attachment to fans and viewers in chat and the \u201cfun\u201d they had together, which he \u201ccan still do\u201d on YouTube. \u201cGiving Twitch credit is just wrong because it\u2019s not Twitch that makes it fun,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s the community. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be mean to them. I know that\u2019s weird to say. But yeah, it\u2019s not like their website magically made it fun. It was the people that were there.\u201d Like other streamers who moved from Twitch to YouTube, Sykkuno has settled into his new home well. He currently has a little under 3 million subscribers, which is a little less than the 4 million followers he had on Twitch. However, his average viewership isn\u2019t far off the mark, and according to SocialBlade, the trajectory of his growth looks promising. So, it\u2019s fair to say that he\u2019s already well on the way to re-establishing his community after the big move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
