  • Essentially, the big issue is that Twitch went from a 70/30 sub split to 50/50 for a lot of its larger creators. Most smaller creators started at 50/50 and once they grew they were able to negotiate better contracts for the 70/30 but it was since then removed.

    The biggest issue imo is that streamers don’t fully comprehend the costs of Twitch and say things like “Amazon can afford it” (Quote from a major streamer on the platform). What they fail to realize is that Amazon isn’t running Twitch as a charity and if it continues to not be profitable it could be shut down just like Mixer was.

    I am not bootlicking Twitch either, streamers need to eat and taking 50% of a major revenue stream is a difficult pill to swallow.
