Popular Twitch streamer Mizkif has explained why $10 million isn’t enough money for him to join YouTube Gaming, saying the platform lacks many features that could make him change his mind.
Back in August 2021, DrLupo announced that he had signed an exclusive deal with YouTube Gaming, which made him leave Twitch after almost 10 years. TimTheTatman and Ludwig soon followed suit.
These high-profile Twitch streamers heading to YouTube sparked discussion about the platform, including Tatman himself, who said YouTube Gaming is better than Twitch.
In a recent video, Mizkif revealed that $10,000,000 wasn’t enough to make him leave Twitch for YouTube – and explained why.
YouTube Gaming is the home of live streams on the platform and competes directly with Twitch.

Mizkif explains that $10 million is not enough to move to YouTube
Mizkif and his community spoke about the recently rumored Twitch changes during his broadcast, prompting the creator to upload a video on the subject.
During the stream, he mentioned that it takes a “fat exam” to move to YouTube Gaming. Shortly after, a chatter asked if he would do it for $10 million.
“10 million? Under no circumstance. I’d rather gamble and stay on Twitch to be honest,” he explained.
(Topic starts at 4:55 in the video)
Mizkif has hinted at what it would take him to make a move in the past and he elaborated on that in the video.
“When YouTube starts to make good progress and things like ratings, a live section and a directory happen, my reward for that gets less and less,” he explained. “By then there will be more.”
It’s no surprise that Mizkif is hesitant to switch platforms at this moment in his career. With nearly two million followers and an average view count of 43,840, it’s doing pretty well.
