RE: YouTube is Dying and I've Got the Data to Prove It. | Q1 '18 Streaming Platform Report

So you admit making a clickbait title that isn't relevant.

I never claimed that services that focus on streaming aren't growing, I was claiming Youtube isn't dying just because other streaming services are growing. You're comparing apples to oranges.

Like others have said, 1 QTR is not enough to base this on anyway. If you look at 2017 as a whole. Youtube had DOUBLE the growth % than twitch.

Also, never understand post where people get off on services "dying" just because their "big," instead of showing post about alt-services rising...
Oh that's right, because they aren't showing massive growth.

I guess I assumed that to mean you thought those services weren't growing. But, W.E. Let's chuck that up to text being difficult to convey ideas sometimes.

I wouldn't say the title is irrelevant. YouTube is hurting in a big way. Losing 30% of creators is a huge decline. If this repeats, YouTube will be the smallest platform for live content by the end of this year. Additionally, being 120% behind the industry average is a huge deal, even if it's just 1 Quarter. If bitcoin was down 30% while every other crypto grew an average of 90%, don't you think people would be pronouncing bitcoin dead?

Lastly, can you post a source for YouTube's 2017 year growth? I can't find anything that suggests double the growth twitch had.
