Hey, thank you very much for the awesome feedback
I started with Twitch. My initial goal was to show how I do everything alone (build, market, sell, etc.). But that fell pretty much flat...
1. I won't be able to master Hardware, Software, Android Dev, Social Media, Marketing, Funding, Selling, etc. all alone.
2. I confused people interested in tech with people who would actually buy what I'm building
But, it showed that I can reach much higher if I network with people. That's how I made my first prototype (hardware & embedded software). I worked in a couple hardware design jobs previously, so I knew how to do that. But I was fairly new to embedded SW. The Twitch programming community helped me incredibly much. They reviewed my code, pointed out mistakes and problems in my architecture.
So, I keep streaming only for the aspect of getting immediate feedback and network with people. I want to pivot to YouTube, so I started to stream to both Twitch and YouTube at the same time.
But, basically I want to focus more on the community and journey including tutorials how to build, market and sell your own product.
My goal with the community (5uperMakers) is to find people from various areas with a similar goal. An engineer might know how to build something, but has no clue how to market or sell. A marketer has no idea how to build stuff, but knows how to market, etc.
In my opinion it's huge, when you can ask an expert. Instead of spending 5h googling without getting advice specifically for your situation.
I'd say: Streaming if you want immediate community feedback and a warm fuzzy feeling
. YouTube if you want your content to last and have a longtime impact. Plus YouTube is just huge in every aspect
