Veteran content creator Myth has announced that he's taking an "indefinite" break from streaming, a decision that comes shortly after the end of his two-year contract with YouTube Gaming.
The 25-year-old streamer Myth confirmed that when he eventually returns to streaming, it will be on Twitch, where he last streamed in late 2022 before signing an exclusivity deal with YouTube. Myth's return to the Amazon-owned platform isn't unexpected, given his declining presence on YouTube, where his livestreams have recently garnered only 10,000 to 20,000 views.

Reflecting on his career, Myth said, "I do feel like I've accomplished a lot, but at the same time, I look back at my past and I have this feeling that I really didn't do much." Despite these feelings, Myth has a sizable audience awaiting his return, with over 7.3 million followers on his inactive Twitch channel, which hasn't been active since June 2022.
The Future Of Myth On Twitch: What Fans Can Expect When He Returns
It's unlikely that Myth will sign another exclusive deal with Twitch, potentially leaving the door open for platforms like Kick to approach him. However, given the lucrative nature of his YouTube deal - described by Myth as "getting the fucking bag" - money may not be the primary factor in his future decisions.When Myth returns to streaming, he plans to focus on creating content that feels true to him. "I want to make content and stream in a way that's authentic to me," he said.
