Rekieta bitched a lot during his 2nd strike two week suspension that his non-superchat revenue on Rumble was down 80% with a roughly commensurate number of viewers.
I guess streamers on YT make bank from viewers that have YT premium because they receive compensation based on time viewed.
If you ever wonder why the YouTube competition is shit, it's this. Content creators seem universally unwilling to not grab all the money, in the name of principle, and treat their video as "YouTube first, everything else backup/secondary."
Yeah, I get it, it's hard to leave five figures a month on the table. But never forget that money exists to keep you putting this content first.
Fuck YouTube, but I also refuse to be a second class viewer.
Probably also the case that most people just go on youtube and see X live, so they watch it. If they don't see it, they don't seek it out to additional platforms. They might check occasionally, but not often enough to catch a stream live.
