“This feels impossible and weird.”
The response from streamers to this news, however, has been mostly negative.
To qualify, streamers must hit a certain threshold of hours streamed regularly with an average of 75 viewers.
However, a major caveat is the need for recurring paid subscriptions.
That means that one-off gift subscriptions and subscriptions through Prime won’t count.
As streamer Meg Mage noted on Twitter, this is a misunderstanding from Twitch on how communities work.
“This feels impossible and weird.”
Case-by-case exceptions should be considered, he added.
70/30 should be for all partners, but I’m glad to see things changing.
Perhaps consider case-by-case exceptions?
Further, removing gift subs from eligibility defeats the point of gift subs altogether.
Twitch gets the same amount regardless."
So smaller streamers continue making the same amount while big streamers make even more money than they already are?
Why introduce gift subs to Twitch when they dont count towards things like this?
Yet this new benefit won’t apply for the vast majority of smaller streamers unable to hit the criteria.
So who is this for?
It also gives existing Partners a new goal to strive for to grow.
