Sykkuno claims the best thing about Twitch had nothing to do with the platform
In response to a fan who asked him whether he likes YouTube better than Twitch following his monumental move,Sykkuno claimed the best thing about Twitch actually had nothing to do with the platform itself.
Afterexploding in popularitythroughout the last couple of years on Twitch, Sykkuno announced ashock moveto their biggest rival, YouTube, afterreportedlybeing offered a “ridiculous” amount of money to make the switch.
He’s since opened up about the move, admitting amajor blunderon Twitch’s behalf influenced his decision, and how he felt“replaceable”on their platform.
Now, he claims the best thing about his former home at Twitch had nothing to do with them.
After a fan asked him whether he likes YouTube more than Twitch, he replied: “I will say that the thing I liked more about Twitch wasn’t even Twitch. It was just the community there, which is kind of weird to say because I guess that’s part of it.”
He explained that he never felt like he had any sort of “attachment” to Twitch. Instead, it was more about his attachment to fans and viewers in chat and the “fun” they had together, which he “can still do” on YouTube.
“Giving Twitch credit is just wrong because it’s not Twitch that makes it fun,” he continued. “It’s the community.
“I don’t want to be mean to them. I know that’s weird to say. But yeah, it’s not like their website magically made it fun. It was the people that were there.”
