It’s still unclear whether Hasan plans to renegotiate and stay with Twitch or if he intends to leave for another platform. However, many fans have speculated about YouTube, as the video platform has been attracting popular streamers in recent years.
Twitch’s recent updates, such as stricter DMCA policies and increased non-subscriber ads, have pushed streamers towards exploring other options. In response, YouTube has been actively improving its streaming service and introducing new features to make it more appealing to content creators.
Making a move from Twitch to YouTube carries some risks, but Hasan has already been creating content on the latter platform and currently boasts over 1 million subscribers. Fans can expect to learn more about his decision in the coming months.
