“I’m very proud of him” - HasanAbi applauds Myth’s decision to switch to YouTube Gaming

In a recent livestream, Twitch streamer and political commentator Hasan "HasanAbi" congratulated pro gamer Ali "Myth" for his sensational switch to YouTube Gaming.

Myth, a 23-year-old professional esports player with over 7.4 million Twitch subscribers, announced his decision to shift to YouTube through a tweet on July 11. The former Fortnite competitive player already conducted his first stream on YouTube last night, where he was seen playing Fall Guys and Valorant in a 5-hour-long stream.

Reacting to the announcement, the 30-year-old Turkish-American streamer, Hasan, expressed his regards to Myth and exclaimed:

"I’m very proud of him."

Hasan further reacted to one of the viewers commenting on the shift of platforms. Reading the chat, he added:

"'Just changing the OBS settings from Twitch to YouTube is not that big of a deal?' For the audience, it is. I think for the audience, it is definitely a big deal. That's why a lot of people are like sad, 'cause a lot of people don't necessarily change and your audience will change as well."

He further added his thoughts on whether Myth would lose his viewership by saying:

"I don't think so. I think he has a different audience and a larger audience on YouTube, maybe. I think his YouTube channel is massive."

Myth is not the only major streamer to have made the leap from the Amazon-owned platform to YouTube off late. OTV member LilyPichu recently announced that she would also shift from Twitch.
