Disguised Toast is well known for having strong opinions. That's part of what's made him such a popular streamer in Twitch's Just Chatting category. While some of his takes may be offbase at times, or even outright trolling, he typically provides thoughtful explanations for them. The latest example from Disguised Toast provides insight into his views on content creators, as he discusses whether he respects YouTubers or Twitch streamers more.
The question originated in a conversation Disguised Toast had with YouTuber and competitive eater Matt Stonie on a recent episode of the OfflineTV podcast. Disguised Toast asked the question of whether it's harder to be a streamer or YouTuber. This led to Disguised Toast answering his own question, saying that he respected YouTubers more. He respects how independent content creators on YouTube are, as well as how fiercely competitive they have to be in order to get viewers to watch their videos over other content creators.
He says that streaming on Twitch, or streaming in general, is a much more collaborative experience. It's a lot more about who a streamer knows on Twitch, so that they can create unique experiences and "farm" drama. Disguised Toast also says that he has favorite top YouTube content creators that he watches and that he enjoys the craft that goes into making that content, whereas he sees creating streaming content as much more straightforward - he mentions Shroud shooting people in FPS games and both Mizkif and Hasan covering weekly drama.
Disguised Toast does admit that he may not have an unbiased prospect on the matter. He explains that he knows how the sausage is made, so to speak, when it comes to content creation on Twitch. The implication being that he's perhaps grown jaded toward what it takes to become popular or successful on Twitch. YouTube, on the other hand, he can view through an idealized lens.
A good part of Disguised Toast's time answering this question is spent talking about his frustrations with what he calls the "collab meta," which could mean he's just feeling down on streaming at this moment. He also says that there's a game drought on Twitch right now, which could also be contributing to his discontentment over the state of streaming.
Fans of Disguised Toast probably don't need to worry about him leaving the platform any time soon. He may respect YouTubers more, but he's also talented at streaming and knows it. He's just having fun and creating conversations with some friends. That's part of what being a Twitch streamer is, after all.
