YouTube to Acquire Videogame-Streaming Service Twi...
YouTube wasn't super huge when Google bought them though, I'd suspect twitch has bigger brand recognition now than YouTube had then.

YouTube was THE online video site back then. Twitch is pretty much unheard of these days by the general public other than people following the PC gaming scene.

In 2006 it was competing with DailyMotion and Vimeo at least.

Besides the two mentioned, the other main competition in 2005-6 for YouTube was Google Videos.
