Let's Plays: YouTube, or Twitch.tv?

[MrabEzreb]

I have a delemma.

I am (trying) to do a let's play series of me playing KSP.

I can record, stream, or both.

Should I put it on youtube, and why.

SHould I put it on Twitch.tv, and why.

Should I do both, and why.

Note that when I stream & record at the same time the video often freezes while my voice continues on.

The next section is for all of the pros and cons of each thing. (I will add things in as people say them.)

I'll recommend what HOCGaming does: Stream normally on Twitch, and then upload it to YouTube. If you want to, you can replace the commentary from the Twitch stream and post-commentate it.

I believe Twitch offers the possibility to export videos to Youtube

Youtube has it's own streaming service, which then automatically uploads as a VOD.

Streaming wont be a good idea since you cant to edits to skip the boring parts, also you can produce only for a limited timezone...

But in my opinion there are way to much LetsPlayers out there, there is no reason to have even more, especialy when you are not sure if you are as good as Scott Manley...

Unedited KSP makes me want to shiver. I record over an hour for 20 minutes of video. The idea of watching those other 40-60 minutes of fiddling with maneuver nodes, 4x time warping through burns, and launching yet another ship of the exact same type in the exact same way makes me want to cry.

So I voted YouTube.

YouTube. More people go there than Twitch.

Hmm, it seems very diverse. Many people like youtube, thats right, BUT, other people realize that, so they do youtube. It seems to me that youtube has MUCH more content, and it is harder to get found. Twitch, on the other hand, has less streamers, so... idk.
