Connor "CDawgVA," the popular Wales-born streamer, shared his perspectives on the distinctions between YouTube and Twitch during his most recent live session. These two platforms are the primary choices for big and small creators engaging in their streaming endeavors. Conor, however, elaborated on why the Google-owned platform (YouTube) edges its counterpart when it comes to videos on demand (VODs).
VODs are essentially the complete stream uploaded to platforms like Twitch or YouTube once the live session concludes. However, Connor expressed a preference for having his VODs on YouTube rather than Twitch.

"The VODs make money on YouTube."

"Using Twitch to watch clips or VODs is actual pain. It's awful and YouTube VODs do very well for me and allow me to put way more money into the content cause the VODs make surprising amount of money."
