Going into a hypothetical situation between Twitch and YouTube going back and forth with offers over Lupo and Tim, Ninja theorized that it is possible Twitch wouldn’t offer certain incentives to keep the creators on their platform.

With the thought that he might be right, Tyler explained why it may be good for other Twitch Partners: “Everyone that is left on Twitch, now has more leverage to stay on the platform by getting a better deal, or they could leave as well.” Going on to explain how those left on the platform can use Lupo and Tim’s move against the platform when negotiating contracts.

The creator made note that TimTheTatman and DrLupo were Twitch staples and that they “obviously” received good deals from YouTube, and everyone should be happy for them because they are just doing what they think is best for their career.
