I actually used Youtube Live (as a viewer) a bit and found the experience inferior to Twitch.tv . You could see the effort of Google devs to clone the best features from twitch, but they just did a ~bad~ job. From the graphics/material design, chat, etc., none of it would have even breathed life if it didn't have Youtube/Google's userbase pushed into it. Google product owners need to ask themselves, would this business be viable without the artificial stimulus of existing Google users? GCP - yes. Youtube - yes. Youtube gaming - no.
