    Dailymotion doesn't have the comments section on a video as Youtube and removed the livestream option.

    Twitch is more focused on livestreaming content, while YouTube is generally more so with videos. In terms of YouTube live though, Twitch would be a good alternative.

    Twitch is not at all similar to YouTube. It is for streaming games.
