Fans speculate the reason behind Myth’s shift shortly after LilyPichu
The sudden resurge in the number of streamers shifting from Twitch to YouTube has gotten fans speculating about the reason behind this. Most fans seem to believe that Twitch’s infamous Creator Pay has to be one of the motivating factors.
Rumors had been circulating a while ago that Twitch was going to reduce creator revenue from 70% to 50%. While Twitch never confirmed this or brought any changes to the actual policies, the rumors created quite a stir within the community. It forced many streamers to speak out against the issue, or look to switch to other platforms, YouTube being the most favorable one.
After Ludwig, LilyPichu, and now Myth, it remains to be seen which streamers switches allegiance from purple to red in the near future.
