It ties into similar comments he\u2019s made in the past. The top Twitch star claims YouTubers need to find success on their own, which is more of a hustle compared to streamers on his own platform who can simply rely on collaborations and website-spanning, star-driven drama. Disguised Toast admires that YouTubers have overcome that obstacle in their quest to find success on the platform, claiming it's a testament to their superior work ethic. He admitted his opinion is influenced by his experiences as a streamer on Twitch because he \u201cknows how the sausage is made\u201d compared to being a YouTuber, of which he\u2019s an outsider. The closest he's come is his stint with Facebook Gaming, where he exclusively streamed gaming between Nov. 2019 and Nov. 2021. Related: Toast insists having \u2018X-factor\u2019 is essential to any Twitch success Still, he\u2019s fascinated by elements they need to integrate into their strategies to succeed, which is new and exciting compared to what he\u2019s familiar with in the industry. The topic came up during a discussion with Gigguk, a YouTuber whose channel, which is 3.3 million subscribers strong, revolves around reviews, rants, and parodies about anime and anime culture. Gigguk started reviewing anime on his YouTube channel to procrastinate his studies back in 2007. It became his primary focus in 2016 when he decided to go \"all-in or bust.\" Fortunately for him, it worked, and he\u2019s been on the grind ever since. His journey exemplifies everything Toast said, and although he has since collaborated with others and branched out in new directions, it was a long and winding road.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/04010808\/Feature-Image-4.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626942"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626942"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626942\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":626991,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626942\/revisions\/626991"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626942"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=626942"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=626942"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=626942"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=626942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
