In the continuous saga of Twitch vs. YouTube, popular streamer Asmongold has weighed in on the debate. With more streamers and content creators seemingly jumping ship, the comparison continues to be a hot topic on the internet. While it's certainly concerning for a streaming platform to lose a large chunk of its talent pool, Asmongold believes that YouTube cannot completely terminate or overpower Twitch. In fact, the American streamer believes the ongoing debate is ridiculous as there's no comparison between the two streaming platforms. He stated: "I mean YouTube is better."

Focusing on the ever-increasing list of prominent streamers switching to YouTube Gaming and signing exclusive contracts with the Google-owned platform, he lamented: "So she moved over to YouTube.

The growth that the Twitch video streaming platform has had in recent times has been tremendous. In addition, this does not seem to change soon, especially if we take into account that the number of users who start their journey here does not stop growing. This is an online service in which we can find video transmissions of all kinds, despite the fact that at first it was focused on games. It is true that these contents are still the most important, but the themes that we can see here have been extended significantly. Hence, at this point practically any user can become a streamer on Twitch relatively easily. Initially, all you need to do is create an account on the service, have some hardware of acceptable quality, and start streaming. Of course, the acceptance or success that we have later will depend almost entirely on our content and ways of doing things. We must offer transmissions that are interesting and also do it in an eye-catching way. Although it may seem like it, achieving this is not easy. More with the competition with which we are going to find ourselves right now. That is why sometimes we may be…

You can now add Twitch to your home screen again without ruining the look WhatsApp, Spotify, and Reddit are among the most popular third-party apps to adopt a themed icon as part of Android 13. Every few days, we see the introduction of a new dynamic icon, and the latest to join the ever-growing list is Twitch. Spotted by Android Police editors in the last day, it appears to be a part of version 13.7.0, which arrived on September 7. If you update your Android app now, you should find Twitch's new icon will appear on your phone. You can turn on themed icons under the Wallpaper and style menu if you own a handset on Android 13 and have yet to use this feature. Many third-party apps still don't include a compatible app icon, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Disney+, Paypal, and more. While many big names are still yet to include the feature, it does feel like third-party apps are picking up the pace since Android 13 arrived last month, If you're using themed icons, you'll likely find your homescreen is a bit of a mess at the moment, with some apps using the feature and others…

On September 4, Erica “Erica” hosted a livestream called ADVICE STREAM, where the Twitch streamer apparently told a disabled 15-year-old boy to stand up against the bullies and “don’t be a little p**sy.” That’s not all. While continuing to lay out advice immediately after skimming through the message, the online personality also continuously berated the youth. Unsurprisingly, her behavior didn’t sit well with most viewers, drawing an immense backlash. Saying how disturbing and toxic criticizing a little boy was, that too in front of hundreds of people live despite knowing his disability, a user noted: A fan’s reaction (Image via Twitch/Erica) Twitch streamer criticized for berating disabled teen schooler Erica held a Twitch livestream, ADVICE STREAM, where a 15-year-old disabled schooler came to her seeking advice on how to tackle the bullies he had to face in school due to his unfortunate condition.

Trans Twitch streamer Keffals has finally won the battle against troll forum Kiwi Farms and is now ‘celebrating their demise.’  Canadian trans streamer Clara ‘Keffals’ Sorrenti started streaming video games in 2021 and has since turned to Just Chatting to discuss trans-rights activism and politics.  Since then, her channel has grown to almost 50,000 followers, grabbing the attention of troll forum Kiwi Farms, which has repeatedly tried swatting her.   In August 2022 Keffals even got taken into custody, due to fake claims that she possessed a firearm and had already killed her own mother.  Swatting and doxxing are still very serious problems within the Twitch community, with many top creators suffering from this form of dangerous pranks.   Not long ago, top Twitch streamer xQc had to move house because the police kept showing up to his doorstep, after trolls found out his address. What is Swatting? Swatting refers to making hoax calls to the police, or other emergency services, reporting a major incident, with the hope that an armed SWAT team will be sent to an address. For obvious reasons, Swatting is most common in the US but it does happen elsewhere as well and is frequently used…
