As the competition between YouTube Gaming and Twitch continues to intensify, MrBeast and MoistCr1TiKaL have taken jabs at the purple platform for “spitting” on its content creators while YouTube continues to make great strides in development.After poaching several high-profile streamers from Twitch, YouTube announced its extravagant plans for 2022 yesterday. On the flip side, Twitch has failed to acknowledge the needs of its streamers and has struggled to keep hate-raids at bay.To add fuel to the fire, Twitch also introduced the controversial "boost" feature despite vehement backlash from the community.MrBeast and MoistCr1TiKaL feel that Twitch wants YouTube to winWith entities like Valkyrae, DrLupo, and TimTheTatman, YouTube can lay claim to having some of the Internet's finest content creators under its banner.However, Twitch has clearly dominated the streaming industry ever since it was acquired by Amazon in 2014. Incidentally, other platforms have been closing in on the gap that has existed for a while now, and YouTube Gaming stands as a perfect prototype.Charlie@MoistCr1TiKaLTwitch doesn't have the streaming monopoly it thinks it does.
