Germany is also a significantly smaller area with more of the population in high density zones compared to most of the USA. Aboveground cables are easier to repair and much less expensive to string up over thousands of miles.

Youtube's interface (both broadcasting and viewing) is terrible compared to Twitch for the kind of programming people watch on it, and the "community" on Youtube is infinitely worse in every way possible to boot.

A high-end graphics card is $700+, the 1070 you mentioned is toward the upper end of the "mid tier" market. Cards like the 1060 and RX480 are considered low tier.
