Prominient Twitch streamer Ben “DrLupo” has jumped ship to YouTube after being with other platforms for years. This major migration does not bear good news for Twitch, as it loses yet another massive streamer. However, he isn’t only the major streamer on YouTube, as the video sharing platform has already acquired Dr Disrespect, Valkyrae and MrBeast.
If this list continues to grow, then YouTube could become a credible threat that can end Twitch’s monopoly. The streamer is going to host its first exclusive YouTube stream on August 31st.
