The ongoing mass shift from Twitch to YouTube

TimTheTatman was only the first among many streamers to leave Twitch for YouTube. Streamers such as Valkyrae and Dr Lupo followed Tim to YouTube shortly after his departure. Call of Duty streamer NICKMERCS is also rumored to be shifting over to YouTube soon. Furthermore, Twitch giant Pokimane has also extended her Twitch streaming break, which she took due to burnout.
