Based on purely anecdotal data points, it seems to me that YouTube is the lagging incumbent in online streaming these days. The creators that make their platform valuable are slowly either leaving the service, or diversifying their content streams to other services. Twitch, Patreon, Curiosity Stream, etc are all taking the parts of the pie that YouTube could have had if they invested in understanding the communities that built themselves on top of their platform. But instead, smaller, more agile (the verb not the noun) companies are responding to the demand while YouTube's advertising revenue streams are starting to dry up.
