What advantages do artists get for using Sywork instead of Twitch?

Sywork is a place created especially for artists. Next week the streamers will be able to setup rewards to their fans. In Twitch they have a small channel for creative people. But the audience is not the same, in Twitch they're into games. In Sywork they're into games, comics, movies and art in general.

Twitch is gaming-only, and users can only stream gaming-related subjects.

They don't seem to be very strict about it. I've watched poker, piano playing, and drawing on there before.

Twitch actually has an entire section titled Creative[0] where people paint, do graphic design, sculpt, etc. Right now there are 2,000+ viewers. They also have sections for Music and Game Development / Programming.
