With technology and the internet becoming a part of human life, new occupational groups have started to emerge in recent years. Publishers on many platforms such as Twitch and Youtube create their own fields and perform them as a profession. So much so that this profession had become very popular during the epidemic.
Twitch’s move to strengthen YouTube’s hand!
Twitch streamers’ revenue will drop. New allegations about Twitch say there will be more cuts from broadcasters.
Broadcast audience decreased 8 percent in the first quarter of 2022
Streaming platforms have gained great momentum in the past two years. So much so that it was noticed by everyone that the closure process that came with the coronavirus was effective in this increase. However, the recent increase in the rate of vaccination and the subsequent decrease in cases seems to have reduced the interest in the publications, albeit small.
According to a report by StreamLabs, popular streaming platforms have been observed to be on a downward trend. In the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of 8 percent was observed compared to the same period of the previous year. In the report, it was argued that the situation was directly related to the normalization process.
On the other hand, there is a clear advantage of Twitch in the broadcasting world. So much so that the platform dominates this field by holding 91.5 percent of all streaming hours. On the other hand, Twitch was the only platform to experience quarterly growth despite the partial reduction of the coronavirus effect.
