Did YouTube Just SOLVE Small Streamer Growth?!

  • Twitch Discovery is solved.... by moving to TH-cam! TH-cam just announced amazing updates and changes that make it so every Small Streamer has the chance to reach hundreds or even thousands of potential new viewers, that's right, TH-cam's new updates have completely destroyed Twitch.
    The update has made major improvements that I love, while not really increasing the workload that Creators currently have to do, this video is breaking down exactly what the update is, the pros, cons, and what you should consider doing to make the most of it and grow your stream in 2023.

    Why Is Twitch Discovery Not Good for Small Streamers
    Twitch sorts their categories by most viewers, which means it is what we call a Kingmaker system, essentially when one Streamer gets lots of viewers, they rise to the top of the category or get more recommendations causing them to get more viewers who come browsing Twitch.
    So beginners or small streamers often sit right down at the bottom of the categories and never get any clicks, because nobody scrolls down 20,000 streamers to find them, and nobody uses the filters over here to check by recommended or smallest despite what you might hope.
    In reality, very few even check categories, most Viewers actually go straight to their Follower List or Favourite streamer meaning discovery on Twitch is relatively slow to start out.
    Think about it, when you type twitch.tv into your bar, it usually auto-completes to your favourite streamers channel, not to a specific category or the homepage.
    This kingmaker system has led to A LOT of outcry from smaller creators asking Twitch to do more for them and their discovery and in turn the same reason why educators such as myself or harris often push you guys to diversify across other platforms with algorithms such as TikTok or TH-cam… even if you hate that advice with all your heart.

    What Is The New TH-cam Update?
    Channel page updates are rolling out right now slowly and should be rolled out for everyone by the end of the year, this means now Videos, Shorts, and Live Streams will have their own tabs on the channel, if you’ve uploaded each of them…
    no more unlisting Live streams, and of course that means, no more losing watch hours, but more importantly, uploading shorts without making your channel page look terrible and harder to locate your main videos.
    Quickly as well, they are experimenting with a new recommendation tool on channel pages so the subs who visit get videos or content on your channel recommended to them based on what they enjoy most, so if someone subscribed to you for shorts, they’ll see shorts rather than videos when they come to your channel.

      Fisrt time I see your channel this video need to be spread more. Really informative even for big content creator. I feel TH-cam algorith can be really bad some time and some time really good. But i just think i mess whit mine by stroling shorts and 2min video for 1h or more.

    Being discovered while live totally depends on how you're titling your videos. We're constantly being found by new viewers while live. If you title them strategically just like you do recorded videos when someone searches for that or something similar you're there.
    Great video man. 🤘😎

      Interesting to look at!
      I think you're right, it depends on the niche.
      But also on another level, I think it heavily depends on how high quality your content is, and how well the streams VoD was packaged.
      I've noticed some gaming channels that do more cozy style content, leaving there VoDs up and published has helped them because Viewers enjoy putting them on to lurk, sleep, have in the background, etc.

    TH-cam's algorithm is absolutely superior for ANY content creator starting streaming.
    Smaller, newer streamers get picked up so good by the algorythm if they stream daily with regular uploads.
    I've been following severall smaller Streamers jump from 50 to 500 viewers in the matter of 2 weeks. I'm very happy to see that.
    Consistency is and stays key tho.

    I've genuinely considered starting streaming lately, been watching hours of guides of both the technical stuff and behaviour, yours especially, and I've been working on a setup the past weeks etc, but I'm not sure whether to start streaming on YT or Twitch anymore, especially with the recent Twitch changes I've heard about. I've been setting up my Twitch too, but this video has really made me consider YT.

    After watching your video i think i will just forego twitch completely and just start on youtube with streams as well. :)

    Hey man! I’ve been binging a lot of your videos, (I’m new to streaming), and I’ve been learning a lot so first I want to thank you! This is a really good video and I’ve been doing a lot of research on TH-cam videos since I wanna start that too. Idk how the retention on this video is but I think that it would improve if you talked about the main point (stream hours being retained) in the beginning of the video and then went into depth. Love the videos and looking forward to watching your streams!!
    Edit: just watched to the end :/

  • @CryHard_Gaming
    @CryHard_Gaming ปีที่แล้ว +11

    This video was very well made and you explained what the smaller channel like ourselves were actually struggling with! We started our channel in March and focused primarily on short form content. We definitely grew however we did notice when we did longer videos the short viewers were left unaware that we even did it. We took a short break and came back with a new plan to push shorts every day using clips from longer videos and telling the viewers the long videos are on the channel however again this didn't really do much due to the difficulty for a shorts viewer to go from the shorts feed to your channel. Ever since the update has been announced we have noticed our videos getting way more views than they did before (from 5 views to 30 views which is big for us). Focused a lot more energy in thumbnails and titling also helped but with this update being announced this is HUGE! Would encourage those on the fence to take advantage of the shorts whilst these updates are being implemented!

    Cleaning up that homepage UI will be gaming changing when it comes to shorts content! Live streaming on TH-cam is advantageous right now since there are more views than streamers, but Twitch's latest moves will definitely bring a lot more streamers to this platform. I hope TH-cam continues to make these changes. I believe they could easily overtake Twitch if they solve their own streaming problems.

    Great video. I'm actually a huge fan of this update! Question for you, as I've reached out to Todd on twitter about this as well. Do you see this update as a gateway for creators whos content is lets say streaming gear/stream setup focused to start live streaming gaming streams on that same channel? For instance, I have grown to roughly about 30k subs in the past 2 years and all my videos are streaming industry focused (gear, updates, OBS tips etc.) Do you think it's now possible to live stream (games) on my main channel here on TH-cam without hurting my channel?

    I personally prefer TH-cam just because of custom thumbnails in streams. Granted, you're less likely to be noticed because of the amount of streams/channels that don't do gaming content. Also shorts ROCK (both the ones on my legs atm and the ones on YT), really helps with smaller channels get noticed!

    I swapped to TH-cam RIGHT before all the Twitch drama about the 50/50 splits, twitch con stuff, gambling stuff, and I'm glad I did! I had already built a community over on TH-cam through normal videos that was three times the size of my Twitch following, so I get 20-60 viewers almost every stream! On twitch, I averaged at 10-20 viewers, and had never gotten above 30 viewers without a raid. Definitely happy the transition was smooth for me!

      and it has the added benefit of not being owned by amazon. Google is also filthy rich, but them being ready to split 70/30 is still much more generous. The only real downside is the problem of fiunding specific streams on TH-cam, everything else sounds like a dream to me.

    I've had shorts and lives with some produced vids on my channel (didn't believe in separating it all) and it actually works really well. I've been doing the strat of releasing a short about an hour before going live for months now and it works really well! Also I leave the livestream up after its over as a VOD and it get views. I will say that I think its a niche thing cause I have a gaming channel and the same strat isn't nearly as effective as it is with my commentary/react channel. Gaming content on YT is for sure harder to crack through I'll say. Great video with many great points.

    I like Twitch because I just feel more "free" and so far the community seems to be better. I have a LONG way to go and I'm stuck at like 2.3 average viewers out of the 3 to become affiliate (I have everything else) lol I just want to make emotes and stickers. However, YT seems to be heading in a great direction and I do love YT. Once I learn to edit videos properly and not just upload streams but have a purpose, I may make the switch or do both. Your videos are really helping the process. Thank you for making such awesome content!

    • @StreamScheme
      @StreamScheme  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's funny, since moving to TH-cam I have felt more free than ever, streams are so fun because not everything rests of them, and I know the channel is growing thanks to the other content.
      Freedom is the exact word I'd use to describe my move, it's really interesting to read this afterwards.

    I’m excited for this change. I’m trying to slowly go away from my Twitch. I have >1500 subs on TH-cam and 355 on Twitch. I like the idea of making the shorts to advertise your live while your live. This to me was one of the best ideas I heard from your video. Thank you for that. This is a long grind and it’s a hard process.

  • @SongbirdGaming

    I've had this video on "watch later" for a little over a week now since it really did feel like main monitor content, and I'm glad I paid attention. I already make shorts from my clips, but I really need to put in the time to make youtube videos. I've been thinking of trying youtube streaming for a while. I definitely need to give it a try.

  • @whisker7842

    Doing a lot of research and will start streaming for a semester away from college to take a break and try something new- Do you think that currently streaming on twitch, then using those VODs to create videos, and then shorts to promote those videos is a smart way to start off right now to diversify? Great timing with the video too I’ve been thinking a lot about this today! Thank you for your great content for the small streamer :)

    Hey Eljay quick question. with shorts is it best to put in a detailed description and loads of relevant tags or just to clip it from your phone for a quick upload? this has been bugging me for ages. love the videos man hope you feel better soon buddy!

    • @StreamScheme
      @StreamScheme  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've found that more details, more data, and more information TH-cam has the better it is at sending shorts to the relevant audience. Just personal testing though, but other channels I've talked to and helped noticed when they took my advice of using tags and description SEO that they started getting much faster short views.

    You can customize your channel page a lot on YT, and put specific playlists on your channel landing page. So I put different streaming series in their own playlists, when I’m setting up the stream, before I even go live. Shorts are also in their own playlist, and then only the current series playlist is on my channel page, the other playlists featured are my long form edited videos. All nicely organized.

  • @QuasiHobbies

    To be fair, when it comes to properly sorting/separating streams, shorts, and videos, TH-cam is working on a better UI. As far as I know it's already rolling out on mobile, and it is clean af. I don't think it will be necessary to unlisted streams anymore in the near future.
    Edit: well shoot, maybe I should've waited a little longer before pausing to comment. Anyhow, YT is certainly making great changes.
    Edit #2: There are lives channels in the recommended section of this video, they are being pushed.

    Hey there! Just discovered your channel with this video - I am actually not a streamer but a "youtuber", having done LPs so far, but was thinking about streaming as well and if it's just to supplement my main content. I saw that you made a video already about Things you should check before doing each twitch stream. While most of that can be applied to youtube as well, it would be great if you could do something similar for youtube. Like youtube streaming for beginners or something. Also I would like your opinion on how useful it is to use streaming as supplement for non-live content, instead of the other way around.

    • @StreamScheme
      @StreamScheme  ปีที่แล้ว

      That sounds like a quick way to hurt viewers and the retention of the video though.
      The updates in this all connect and interact, covering them in 3 different videos means that viewers would need to watch all 3 to understand the extent of the changes.
      They'd be lost, and confused due to assumed knowledge or requiring prior knowledge of other videos, this hurts retention rate on education videos, and really any video.
      Breaking it down this way allows anyone no matter who to watch and understand the impact properly without requiring any other work, information, or prior knowledge.

    Want to move to youtube the next days finally. Now I am ready for this. Had enough of this "sad feeling most of the time to not become enough viewers and the recognition I tried to get in the last 2 years. It was okay, I have some firms and cooperations around me, but the motivation disrupts if you are doesnt "go live" everyday and "function". Its so hard to get attention on twitch and mostly "big" streamers getting the full audience you will never has had without "connection", as many as you tries. In my case I tried so many thinks out for me and the people, but the audience doesnt see it often. thats demotivating. I only want to live and spread out what I love and to show it to the people to distract them in this hard times to get the best feelings on a hard day.. Now I am ready for a chance and a new begin. Thanks for your great tips and motivation! Best

    Watching this taught me a lot about TH-cam shorts, and making money on TH-cam. Although shorts are a side thing I've tried, now that I know how powerful it can me to drive viewers to videos or streams, I'm sure I will start making more shorts to drive more viewers to my channel.
