Nick Eh 30 has been streaming on YouTube and he'll still do videos and vlogs there, but his game streaming will be exclusive to Twitch.

Nick Eh 30 stressed that Twitch has been really accommodating, ensuring that loyalty badges and tenures are transferred over, which happens to be the first time they've done this for anyone.
Nick Eh 30 said that one of his secret recipes has been clever timing, as he was one of the rare streamers who regularly streamed 5-hour sessions in the morning and evening.

It was just an early-morning stream every single day, and an afternoon stream every single day. So I think those were the two big things", he said.
