Chose YouTube Live
They didn't have TikTok Live or Twitch, but those would be, I think, the best examples of competitors. Many other platforms have channel points; they have hosting/raid features that allow people to get discovered more easily. YouTube Live feels very behind the times with the …

YouTube Live is best suited for conducting live interviews, live podcasts, live events, this could be either digital or physical events, community building, community connect, education, webinars, product launches. another good use case is for having live exercise sessions like live yoga sessions or meditation sessions where instructor led sessions can be conducted remotely and two way communication can be established using the chat function. only place where I feel it may not be great is where you want to limit the access to who joins into the live stream especially when you are embedding it into another page restricting sharing becomes difficult. Or having the person find the actual YouTube Live link and share it without your control might make it difficult.

It's easy to use. People can easily use this platform to stream and watch streams. I am unsure how to advertise on the platform effectively. YouTube Live seems disconnected from the audience it aims to attract, which is crucial for its platform's success. I think there are just quality-of-life improvements that could make it better, even though it's easy to use

  • It's become a reliable source of traffic (even years after each Live they keep adding views)
  • It's added hundreds of subscribers to my newsletter (where I sell my services and courses)
  • It has increased my visibility with less effort than in more produced non-live videos.
