Content creators in 2024 be like…

A little over a year ago, Vita was grinding on Twitch maintaining the same viewers after 6 years. When I moved to YouTube he taught me everything about Apex and I got on his ass about moving to @YouTubeGaming cause he was a DEMON on Apex. He was so down on himself like most people coming from Twitch... "No one would watch me", "who would watch videos", "I don't know how to make videos", "I'm not Pred so who cares"... He listened to me though and made the switch. Fast forward just over a YEAR. He's made videos that have gotten tens of thousands of views, coming up on 10,000 Subscribers, has been averaging 100-200 viewers and is top 30 Pred in Apex Legends. This is why I gas YouTube and bash on Twitch for up and coming creators. YouTube is more intimidating sure... But it offers you more tools to LEARN and succeed as a "small creator". It gives you the confidence to be better all around. While Twitch is great as a whole, community wise, it lacks the ability to actually help show streamers that DO want to grow what they are or aren't doing wrong. This is why I feel so many Twitch Streamers are so down on themselves and I honestly don't blame them. It feels shitty as fuck to grind day in day out for something you enjoy, not being able to see what you are doing wrong and how you can improve. Only to judge yourself by views so Twitch can take 50% for "giving you a stage" that does nothing to help make you a better creator. This is why, even though I am doing well on Kick, I still stand by the fact that YouTube is the best platform to get discovered if you are willing to learn.
