Has anyone ever noticed if when on a bad strek, does it make any difference to switch sites?

Like when you are having a bad streak at one specific site but u have some bankroll at other site, switching seems to do better? Stop playing a little in one site and then play only in the other for some time? Or the bad streak is just something like really bad luck affecting your cards in all places?
Of course I am taking by side, the other factors that come with the bad streaks, like playing poorly, loosen your game and entering tilt.
I am just asking if pure and simple change of air. Going to another place seems to affect in any way your winnings?

Well, the cards you are dealt will still be random. If you're sitting at a table with good players it might make sense to switch, but then you might as well just change to another table on the same site.

So, if it makes a difference, it is all psychology so this might be an interesting subject for the Psychology forum.

Since there is no such thing as an impending bad streak, a bad streak always ends after each hand. A new bad streak can always start at any time though, on any site or table, and you can have many in a row.

Playing poorly, loosening your game and entering tilt is all you need to worry about, and really all you can control. Or, you can try to find an easier game. In some games you don't get punished much on bad beats or mistakes, and get paid off a lot on wins. Here you can have a bad streak and still come out ahead.
