The latest streamer to join this list is LilyPichu, who recently posted a video on her official Twitter account, announcing that she would be switching from Twitch to YouTube.

LilyPichu makes the switch from Twitch to YouTube
Since the beginning of 2021, many Twitch giants like TimTheTatman, Valkyrae, Ludwig and many others shifted from Twitch to YouTube. This prompted many viewers to speculate the reason behind this mass shift in platforms. The reasons primarily boiled down to the financial benefit as well as a lot more freedom that YouTube was offering.
After Ludwig and Sykkuno, LilyPichu became the latest streamer to be signed by YouTube as an exclusive streaming partner. The former Twitch streamer announced the same via a video that she posted on her social media.
