This sounds really fun - obviously Twitch's Bob Ross stream was an incredible experience. (I work at Twitch)

Do you think that youtube will provide enough engaging content for people to start getting into the platform? How could you go about getting 'real' popular content onto the platform, and if this works how can you compete with Twitch?

Awesome to hear feedback from someone at Twitch - to answer your questions:

- Absolutely. As the largest video platform, there's a ton of great content produced on YouTube everyday. Not to mention, a growing number of legally available shows (including Bob Ross!) on YT. YT is also just a starting point.

- We're working with several notable YT creators to bring them in as partners. In comparison to Twitch, we're focused on pre-existing content that can be watched as live channels.
