“Going live leads to declining performance of the overall channel” is such a subjective sentence that it means nothing. However why would anyone need to space out live streams and uploads to avoid cannibalization of viewership? What on earth...

Why would you create live streaming on your platform yet it can be responsible for destroying viewership if used too much. What was the evidence that these fulltime YouTubers gathered and concluded that was responsible for negative effects on their channels? Cannibalization?

You can harm your channel by uploading too many videos also, the point here is that there isn't a link between livestreaming and declining performance vs regular videos.

So WHY do full-time YouTubers absolutely refuse to livestream regularly on YouTube, if at all? and pro-actively encourage others away from doing so? IF live streaming has no link to declining performances? (https://twitter.com/UpshallGames/status/1043098244946055168 …) have any of you read this thread at all?

You keep referring to that tweet, but there are also many creators who have found success on YouTube and continue to livestream regularly.

I do because nobody has explained any of it, and therefore WHY those creators have misunderstood their findings that have then led to them still not opting to live stream on YouTube...? Is that not a glaring issue? Big names opting for another platform to live stream??

The platform does not communicate well enough to the audience, thats why you get people like my self constantly looking for answers via twitter, to which we are then trying to put pieces together to try and find a conclusive answer.pic.twitter.com/owFwG5lTz9

YouTube isn't shy about how content is recommended, it's based on how it performs, if people don't watch the content, it won't be recommended. Videos outperform livestreams which is why they get promoted more, this is even moreso with livestream archives which perform terribly.

This isn't to say you can't grow by livestreaming. YTG and our gaming surfaces were built to overcome this lack of recommendations to give new surfaces for live discovery. Livestreaming creators grow on our platform.

However there are other things about the ecosystem that cause creators to recommend other platforms, such as a better community culture around donations (and monetization options, Prime is a really strong offering).

I just cannot see logic behind having 2 features on one platform where one can negatively impact the other in one way or several. Videos perform better than a livestream thats logical, livestream archives are terrible obviously. Why aren't these things separate from YT VOD's????
