The post LilyPichu latest streamer to exit Twitch as Youtube beckons appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>She is the latest top streamer to make the switch as YouTube begins to gain some skin in the steaming war against Twitch. Her decision comes only after a few months away from when her good friend Thomas “Sykkuno” ported to YouTube.
LilyPichu made the announcement on her Twitter page via a video post she titled, “my big decision”, which depicted the Matrix “blue” or “red” illustration. In front of her were two buttons – red (1) and purple (1), which represented YouTube (red) and Twitch (purple).
Thank you for supporting me ;_; I had so much fun on twitch, I can't wait to have just as much fun on youtube!!!
(my first stream will be in a hotel room in Japan it will be very janky)

The OfflineTV member was unable to make the big decision so she resorted to having her pet choose. Her dog gestured closer to the red bowl which contained a YouTube logo design cake. She seem to agree with the decision as she was heard saying “good decision.”
She looks to make her debut on July 8 on her dedicated YouTube channel, but the announcement did not bear details as to the time she would be live. A few days ago using her Twitter page, LilyPichu seemed to be itching to make some sort of announcement. She was seen counting down to something as she prepared, setting up some suspense for her big reveal.
2 hours ish!!!!

She had garnered total watch hours of 2.9 million on Twitch as reported by Streams Charts. She had attained a peak of 32,137 viewers this year, with an average of about 5,508 viewers this year. While she covers a large range of content on the purple platform, her most played game is Valorant, which garnered a total of 145.6 hours spent.
LilyPichu to go live on Youtube OTV Japan stream
LilyPichu joins the likes of Valkyrae, DrLupo, TimTheTatman, and CouRage in signing an exclusive contract with YouTube Gaming. Although Dr. Disrespect streams exclusively on YouTube. This was attained due to an indefinite suspension he suffered on Twitch for reasons unknown to the public.
Her announcement was met with much fanfare by her fans and colleagues likewise, as she was congratulated for the move. Her switch was done ahead of the OTV Japan stream as she gears to make her first stream on YouTube on July 8.

Her decade-long union with Twitch comes to an end as she looks to chart a new course with YouTube. Like Imane “Pokimane” Anys and William “Scarra” Li, LilyPichu is an original member of OfflineTV. While she is known for her gaming streams, she is also a musician.
While she frequently plays competitive esports titles like Valorant and League of Legends. Her most popular posts have always been her laid-back collab streams with Pokimane, Sykkuno, Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang and her boyfriend Michael Reeves. She also shares content that borders on art and music on her channel.
She received tons of well wishes from YouTube streamers, including Valkyrae, Sykkuno, and TimTheTatman. They wished her a smooth transition to her new platform, with her being used to Twitch. Even Twitch took to Twitter to bid her farewell and thanked her for her time with the brand.
“From art to music, to gaming, you did it all with a voice and style that’s unmistakably you,” Twitch’s official Twitter account tweeted.
“Good luck, keep growing, and thanks for sharing so many memories with us.”

]]>The post Twitch considering major changes to partner revenue appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>The revenue share for partners is now 50/50 for a tier-one subscription, 60/40 for a tier-two subscription, and 70/30 for a tier-three subscription, all in favor of the streamer. A different income split has been informally agreed upon by a few major Twitch partners.
??According to Bloomberg, the revenue split might be reduced to a 50 percent cut across the board.??
The platform is also said to be contemplating several levels of partners, each with its own set of requirements for access. As a result, Twitch may allow its partners to stream on platforms other than Twitch, which is prohibited at the moment.
??Profit-based over people-based streamers have been fighting for a more equitable revenue split for years, with one of the most popular campaigns on the Twitch UserVoice site. If these rumored modifications are effected, it will be of benefit to Twitch significantly more than consumers.
??Over the last year, the streaming service has been rocked by high-profile departures amid claims that it has lost touch with the streaming community. It has also lost top streaming talent to YouTube, which has a 70/30 income split.
??Twitch is also discussing other alternatives, such as the creation of different levels with specific requirements for how broadcasters might qualify for each. The proposed changes are said to also feature an increase in advertising incentives for streamers.
??The brand is also considering overhauling its flat sum model for advertising earnings and looking to implement a revenue-sharing agreement instead. Partners would no longer be obligated to stream only via Twitch in exchange and may also stream on YouTube or Facebook.
None of this has been confirmed yet, but if accurate, it might annoy a number of the larger streamers. After all, they would lose a major portion of their income as a result of this shift, all in the name of the company’s increased profits.??
Reacting to the rumored changes, users have taken to Twitter to air their displeasure.
Ok, @Twitch, real talk.
We know you want more ads. We saw the article suggesting even more are coming. We see the writing on the wall.
But seriously, for the love of all that is holy…
MAKE. AN. AD. SKIPPING. SYSTEM. PLEASE.

Users have pointed out that while many of the partners have a 50/50 split already, instead of bringing others up to the bigger names on the platform, they are seeking to apparently drag everyone down instead. Others have said that YouTube is a much better option since its defaults to a 70/30 split instead of a 50/50.

]]>The post LoL streamer Sanchovies receives a permaban from Twitch and renders an apology appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>This occurred when he encountered a problem with the internet service, so he had threatened or impulsively altered to plant explosives in the headquarters of Rogers Communications.
Although clips of this streaming were not made available, categorically, he had made mention of burying in Rogers Communications headquarters, a claymore mine which is a remote explosive.
It did not take long after the stream, his suspension on the platform was announced by the StreamerBan Twitter account. Following this, Sanchovies retweeted the post (which he later deleted) with the caption “I don’t care”. This impulsive act had led him from a temporary suspension to a permanent ban.
Sachovies apathetic response to the ban had led to lots of criticisms and also fans tweeting that he enjoyed his holiday. Whilst some triggered diehard fans had started a #freeSanch trend on Twitter, expressing how uninteresting it will be to not be able to watch their favorite streamer. A fan also made reference to how Sach’s tweet, got more engagement than his ban announcement tweet.
Sanchovies apologizes to his ISP
Sanchovies has taken to his Twitlonger to explain the reason for his menacing comment during the stream and has tendered an apology to his internet service provider. He also apologized for his recent tweet, noting it was an outburst of frustration.
“I’ve been dealing with internet problems for as long as I can remember, and in an outburst of frustration I said something reallllllly stupid towards the end of the stream, threatening to bomb my ISP’s headquarters.”
He added, stating:
“This had been something of an inside joke within my channel for years, but what I said was super irresponsible as somebody with a considerably large audience. I apologize for that. It was an awful, awful joke to make and it’ll never happen again. I am truly sorry and I totally understand Twitch’s decision to enforce the policy I violated.”
In his Twitlonger, he also discussed the reason for his initial tweet. He said, he was unaware of the gravity of the matter and supposed the ban will be brief, specifically because it was his first ban in nearly four years of Twitch streaming.
“I would also like to address my previous tweet. In response to my ban, I immediately tweeted that I did not care, as I thought it was just going to be a short ban of a few days at most, considering I’d never been banned before in my ~4 years of streaming.”
He added that:
“After logging into the Twitch appeal portal and speaking with my partner manager, I found out that the situation was a lot more serious than I thought, and that my suspension was indefinite.”
Sanchovies continued to discuss his streaming adventure, emphasising his challenges and how losing such a loving community is nearly catastrophic. He further said, he had learned his lesson and hoped to be given a second chance.

]]>The post Streamers are being banned on Twitch for spreading harmful misinformation off the platform appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>While it is totally a norm for the owners of a platform to restrict, suspend or ban a user who goes against the policies guiding that platform. It is, however, unusual for the owners to do the same to a user when the violation occurs on a different platform, not connected to the particular platform in question.
This policy will have streamers being cautious of their utterances or communications on and off the application. If one is caught wanting, such a user will be banned from using the services of the purple platform. With this policy already being enacted, it is imperative that streamers are aware of this and as such act adequately.
The purple platform’s misconduct policy was updated in March 2022 for all users, streamers, and otherwise. The American live streaming service owned by Amazon.com, Inc., updated its policy to stop the spread and enabling of fake news on its platform.
Being one of the biggest streaming platforms in the world, Twitch has been poised to protect its community and maintain the safety of users on its service. The platform prides itself as a safe place for its streamers to exhibit their talent and build a community while at it.
Twitch Streamer Haz was banned on Twitch for spreading harmful misinformation on a different platform
Twitch streamer, simply known as Haz was recently banned from the platform owing to having spread harmful misinformation off Twitch. The streamer took to his Twitter page to share his predicament. He had received a mail from the live streaming service, informing him of the ban, while disclosing the reason why he was banned.
Just got banned from twitch, but not for the reason you expect. It was 'off twitch services' which means it was either because of my appearance yesterday on another website. Not sure what I said, will appeal it but regardlss live on Youtube now https://t.co/eDytL40iE8 pic.twitter.com/Va1zBmOxBa

“Just got banned from twitch, but not for the reason you expect,” Haz said. “It was ‘off twitch services’ which means it was either because of my appearance yesterday on another website. Not sure what I said, will appeal it.”
The ban came as a shock to him and he was unsure how that was possible or even what the malicious information he must have shared was. After a series of brainstorming and researching, the primary streamer on Infrared was able to trace the cause of the ban.
He apparently uncovered that the ban came as a result of a report made by Financial Times reporters after a Tech Transparency Project Report defamed his stream and described it as ‘Kremlin propaganda.”
BREAKING: The reason for both my and @jacksonhinklle's ban from @Twitch was because they were contacted by journalists from the @FinancialTimes today after a Tech Transparency Project Report defamed our stream content as Kremlin propaganda. pic.twitter.com/91pPOXx81D
