Streaming Platform

Which streaming platform you guys prefer to use & why?

Personally I find youtube a lot better than twitch due following reasons :

a) I can rewind video when live.
b) Video buffers a lot more times on twitch than youtube ( my internet connection is good enough to stream 3-4 4K videos on netflix at the same time).
c) YT has a lot better search engine than Twitch & i can't even find anyone on twitch unless I know the exact name of the streamer.
d) UI of youtube is a lot user friendly than twitch.
e) actual 1080p video quality

Edit : Fixed some typos

if i want to watch a streamer then id watch twitch
if i want to watch a pro match then YT

YouTube just no specific reason

If I’m on WiFi I prefer twitch
If I’m on data I prefer YouTube

YouTube takes a lot less to run on 1080/1440p then Twitch but the quality of twitch is better imo

Tbh you're the first one I found who says Twitch has better video quality than youtube but nw it's your opinion

Twitch feels smoother and gives the livestream vibe idk why.

twitch has higher bitrate of 7000kb but youtube recommends 5000kb thats why twitch has better quality, but even though i have 300 mbps speed, twitch buffers like hell on my phone, probably the amazon servers arent as good as googles

same even i like watching yt stream over twitch

YT>TTV

Nah twitch deffo has better video quality because of yt video compression but yeah I prefer YT for the reasons you have mentioned...

twitch chat hits different

Both.
Twitch chat and clipping system is much better but Youtube is better in other regards.

Twitch because of chat. YouTube chat sucks ass.

Just make sure to watch in full screen and do not read the chat.

wtf are you even talking about? How did you not mention Loco and 2160p streaming quality with 0 buffer and low latency

IMO twitch >> yt. twitch quality>> yt quality thats it

just curious
does twitch show ads in india? maybe that's why twitch buffers cuz there's no dedicated server near the region?

YouTube >>>>>>>>>> Twitch in almost every aspect except that chat looks better on Twitch
(Twitch doesn't buffer for me though)

I'm a big user of rewind feature so maybe that's why

the Audio quality unmatched and the chat cannot get spammy because of it's highly sophisticated chat filtering and more importantly it never crashes in the middle

bro you forgot absolutely no buffer or lag experience & they also don't promote mobile game streamers only unlike other platforms out there.

Twitch is for hot tub streamers, pure cringe.
