    I guess it’s because I’m not into live streams, but twitch has seemed the worst for content discovery. Don’t find it useful for finding relevant content unless it is edited clips put on another site. It’s just useful for finding streams of a certain game, but not actual specific game content like where is item x located.

      You’re totally correct on that. Twitch for me is for the one competitive game I play (esports and costreams of esports). I use YouTube sometimes for guides and info, that’s somewhat useful. Although I’m starting to find that the video that YouTube shows me as the top video for a search under “relavent” is not always really all that relevant. Sometimes the best video for a search is way down the list. I find it easier for some games (like Remnant 2), to find text guides that are popular and then watch an attached YouTube video there if there is one.

      My main beef with YouTube today is how garbage my front page is. I feel like years ago I would discover content based on suggestions. Now I spend most of my time being irrationally mad at how bad my suggestions are on the YouTube front page.

        Oh yeah, I hate YouTube recommendations, since it seems not great at recognizing what I look for in channels only the general subject matter. Got to a point where now I use newpipe and freetube on PC to just keep track of my subs, since I wanted to not even see suggestions anymore.
