She announced her decision to exit the purple streaming platform in favour of YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>She is the latest top streamer to make the switch as YouTube begins to gain some skin in the steaming war against Twitch. Her decision comes only after a few months away from when her good friend Thomas \u201cSykkuno\u201d ported to YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>LilyPichu made the announcement on her Twitter page via a video post she titled, \u201cmy big decision\u201d, which depicted the Matrix \u201cblue\u201d or \u201cred\u201d illustration. In front of her were two buttons &#8211; red (1) and purple (1), which represented YouTube (red) and Twitch (purple).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you for supporting me ;_; I had so much fun on twitch, I can&#39;t wait to have just as much fun on youtube!!! <\/p>\n<p>(my first stream will be in a hotel room in Japan it will be very janky)<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Lily (@LilyPichu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LilyPichu\/status\/1545095809112240128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The OfflineTV member was unable to make the big decision so she resorted to having her pet choose.

She seem to agree with the decision as she was heard saying \u201cgood decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She looks to make her debut on July 8 on her dedicated YouTube channel, but the announcement did not bear details as to the time she would be live. A few days ago using her Twitter page, LilyPichu seemed to be itching to make some sort of announcement. She was seen counting down to something as she prepared, setting up some suspense for her big reveal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2 hours ish!!!!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Lily (@LilyPichu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LilyPichu\/status\/1545057916893347841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>She had garnered total watch hours of 2.9 million on Twitch as reported by Streams Charts.
