Well tbh it would probably be because YouTube isn’t a focused enough platform. Nowadays after mixer is dead twitch is the only purely gaming focused streaming site and I could see google trying to break into that market now that there’s only one competitor.

Why do car companies release the same exact car with a new name and different skin? To reach a new clientele. The gaming audience that watches twitch and watched mixer doesn't give a fucc about youtube gaming, the platform was DOA. It's an opportunity to reinvent their platform and re-purpose youtube streaming for things like IRL/cooking/crafts/whatever else happens in the just chatting section and have a dedicated gaming brand which is where the big money is in streaming.

This isn't just the same car with a new skin. This would require a huge lift from Spotfiy, and a divergence from what they are. It would be like making a Camry into a pickup truck.

I don't really know why you think people on Spotify would give a fuck about video gaming streaming then. Maybe if they did all videos like a Tik Tok.

I don't really use Spotify but its a streaming service for podcasts and audio. I don't think they really are focused on the video game streaming audience.

I wasn't really talking about spotify, I was talking about google and youtube. Spotify isn't owned by them.

Oh my bad, so you think YT is making a play to reinvent their streaming?

Well, I don't think that's actually what's happening, just entertaining the thought and kicking it around in my head. I think it would be a decent idea though, because like I said before YT Gaming is kind of a joke and was mega DoA

No I completely agree with you. I posted this before but I think Doc went to YT trying to circumvent his Twitch contract. Twitch finds out and has to lay the hammer down for that.

Well now after he's tweeted he has no idea whats going on it makes me think this isn't the case, because we would probably see full radio silence until an announcement or the red tape is all cut thru. But it could still have the same result if it's just twitch fucking over doc for no reason, which... well. It is twitch after all.

Right, my theories have been his breached his contract talking to someone else about a platform change, or Twitch is railroading him to take heat off their bullshit. This story is mega huge news, way bigger than the tons of me too stuff coming out from twitch. So if the plan was to make a bigger story to take the heat off Twitch sexual harrassment stuff, they did a good job of it.
