Dr Disrespect Says Twitch Streamers Have it Easy

YouTube streamer Dr Disrespect knows a thing or two about streaming on Twitch, as he had one of the most popular and profitable twitch channels in history before being permanently banned in 2020.

Now, Doc claims that Twitch streamers have it easy compared to the content creators who stream on YouTube, pointing out the available audience and claiming he would hit 100,000 viewers per day if allowed back on the Amazon owned platform.

“It blows my mind… you don’t even have to try on Twitch” he said during a live stream on July 26th (h/t Dexerto).

He then went on to point to streamer TimtheTatman, saying “Literally, he’s got 50,000 people watching him watching other people’s solo games, and they suck. He’s got like 50k viewers!”

“I’m telling you, right now, I’m telling you if we were still on Twitch, we would have 100,000 people,” Doc continued.

“On YouTube, when I’m streaming, releasing videos, I’ve got to reach out to my team, I gotta make a whole bunch of calls; [figure out] what’s the algorithm today?

“On top of that, I’ve gotta make sure I’m setting up thumbnails, keywords, YouTube hashtags, and then after all that we still get buried behind games like Minecraft and Roblox. It feels like we’re pushed to the side. We’re pushed all the way down, deep down into this wannabe community infrastructure, allegedly livestream-focused infrastructure that YouTube has.”
