Twitch tried to implode a few days ago. I'm hoping for YouTube, it's too much of a monopoly.

As for YouTube, Odysee exists and has a mirroring for YouTube uploads for content creators, but it's mainly just tech and crypto people at the moment - yes, there's others, but most everyday people have never even heard of LBRY or Odysee.
