Newer platforms compete on the terms they can change quickly: revenue split, moderation policy, and direct deals.
A more generous split is worth little without an audience to apply it to. The calculation turns on how much of your existing audience would follow you, which is usually less than it feels.
Less competition can mean genuine visibility on category pages, the same dynamic that makes a smaller category work on any platform.
Looser content rules attract audiences and advertisers with different expectations. Whichever side of that you prefer, it changes who shows up in chat and what moderation you need.
Platform risk is the argument for owning a searchable copy of your streams. Channels that depend entirely on one platform's archive have nothing to move if terms change.
