I have to agree in that there is a rise in creators are actively looking for alternatives to where they are currently streaming too. YouTube hasn't been looking to improve their live-streaming section much as they focus more on the Shorts community more, since that's where they can make more money with. Twitch is floundering in trying to figure out what they want to do with ads or other ways to make money. At least there's Stream Together which Twitch has been spending so many resources on that pet project for the past 2 years.

Places like Owncast and Peertube offer a better option for those interested in the Fediverse.
