Last year saw a massive shift in the power balance, as popular streamer Ludwig left Twitch for YouTube just months after his highly popular subathon saw Ludwig climb to the most subscribed streamer ever on the platform. Viewers have seen several of Twitch's biggest streamers make the move to YouTube in recent years, with TimTheTatman joining YouTube Gaming in September and Dr Disrespect previously signing with the Google-owned platform.

The departure of top talents like Ludwig and Dr Disrespect have prompted many to wonder if other streamers on the platform may be eyeing an exit from Twitch in the near future. Popular female streamer Pokimane was previously rumored to be considering a switch when her contract with Twitch expired in early February, though she would later re-sign with Twitch. Now, with the ideas of streamers switching platforms becoming a hot topic amongst the live-streaming community, Mizkif recently addressed his own stance on what would convince him to switch during a discussion on Ludwig's move.
