Twitch president Dan Clancy talked about this today in his latest letter to streamers. Twitch is considered by many to be the best platform for streamers, especially for those looking to make a career out of it. While the platform uses a 50\/50 baseline revenue share for subscription earnings, not everyone is provided the same deal. It has been an open secret among the Twitch community that the company offers standard agreements with premium subscription terms to \u201cselect streamers\u201d as their channels grow larger. \u201cStreamers are and always will be the foundation of our global community. It\u2019s your passion, hard work, and creativity that make Twitch the one-of-a-kind place it is,\u201d Clancy said. \u201cWe can\u2019t run this service unless you make money. That\u2019s not a drawback; it\u2019s by design. This innate partnership is why we support all streamers\u2019 careers and ambitions like they\u2019re our own.\u201d Clancy went on to reveal that the company has made the decision to stop offering premium agreements (a 70\/30 revenue split) to new streamers who are not already on these terms. According to Clancy, the premium deals were creating problems for Twitch:\u00a0 The company had not been completely transparent about the existence of such deals.\u00a0Twitch did not have consistent qualification criteria. These premium deals were generally given to larger streamers.\u00a0The management does not believe it\u2019s right for streamers who have standard contracts to have varied revenue shares based on their size. For streamers who currently have such premium deals on their contracts, Twitch will make some adjustments to them. They will retain a 70\/30 revenue share split for the first $100,000 earned through subscription revenue. If revenue exceeds $100,000, it will be split 50\/50 between the streamer and the platform. Clancy also said that these changes will not be implemented now. They will go into effect on June 1, 2023, and streamers will only be affected after their existing contracts are up for renewal. \u201cAll streamers with these terms have already received this information and more via email, and we will make sure to give them exact updates and timelines as we get closer to June 1, 2023,\u201d he said. The upcoming changes will not affect the majority of streamers (approximately 90 percent) on the platform, according to Clancy. While the top streamers\u2019 revenue might be hit in the future, Twitch is making it up to them by \u201coffering an alternative way to earn revenue.\u201d By increasing the ad revenue share to 55 percent as part of the Ads Incentive Program, large streamers will be able to recover their losses. Clancy gave multiple reasons that forced Twitch to move away from the 70\/30 split model, including investing in Twitch products, losses due to Prime Subscription conversion, and, mainly, the high cost of delivering the Twitch service.\u00a0 \u201cDelivering high definition, low latency, always available live video to nearly every corner of the world is expensive,\u201d he said. It seems that the platform will be moving closer to the 50\/50 revenue split model in the future, despite over 22,000 streamers signing a \u201cUserVoice\u201d petition asking for the 70\/30 split for everyone.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/21091923\/twitchdevblog2.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689810"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2124"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=689810"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":689900,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689810\/revisions\/689900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/689836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=689810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=689810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Twitch president Dan Clancy talked about this today in his latest letter to streamers. Twitch is considered by many to be the best platform for streamers, especially for those looking to make a career out of it. While the platform uses a 50\/50 baseline revenue share for subscription earnings, not everyone is provided the same deal. It has been an open secret among the Twitch community that the company offers standard agreements with premium subscription terms to \u201cselect streamers\u201d as their channels grow larger. \u201cStreamers are and always will be the foundation of our global community. It\u2019s your passion, hard work, and creativity that make Twitch the one-of-a-kind place it is,\u201d Clancy said. \u201cWe can\u2019t run this service unless you make money. That\u2019s not a drawback; it\u2019s by design. This innate partnership is why we support all streamers\u2019 careers and ambitions like they\u2019re our own.\u201d Clancy went on to reveal that the company has made the decision to stop offering premium agreements (a 70\/30 revenue split) to new streamers who are not already on these terms. According to Clancy, the premium deals were creating problems for Twitch:\u00a0 The company had not been completely transparent about the existence of such deals.\u00a0Twitch did not have consistent qualification criteria. These premium deals were generally given to larger streamers.\u00a0The management does not believe it\u2019s right for streamers who have standard contracts to have varied revenue shares based on their size. For streamers who currently have such premium deals on their contracts, Twitch will make some adjustments to them. They will retain a 70\/30 revenue share split for the first $100,000 earned through subscription revenue. If revenue exceeds $100,000, it will be split 50\/50 between the streamer and the platform. Clancy also said that these changes will not be implemented now. They will go into effect on June 1, 2023, and streamers will only be affected after their existing contracts are up for renewal. \u201cAll streamers with these terms have already received this information and more via email, and we will make sure to give them exact updates and timelines as we get closer to June 1, 2023,\u201d he said. The upcoming changes will not affect the majority of streamers (approximately 90 percent) on the platform, according to Clancy. While the top streamers\u2019 revenue might be hit in the future, Twitch is making it up to them by \u201coffering an alternative way to earn revenue.\u201d By increasing the ad revenue share to 55 percent as part of the Ads Incentive Program, large streamers will be able to recover their losses. Clancy gave multiple reasons that forced Twitch to move away from the 70\/30 split model, including investing in Twitch products, losses due to Prime Subscription conversion, and, mainly, the high cost of delivering the Twitch service.\u00a0 \u201cDelivering high definition, low latency, always available live video to nearly every corner of the world is expensive,\u201d he said. It seems that the platform will be moving closer to the 50\/50 revenue split model in the future, despite over 22,000 streamers signing a \u201cUserVoice\u201d petition asking for the 70\/30 split for everyone.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/21091923\/twitchdevblog2.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689810"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2124"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=689810"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":689900,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689810\/revisions\/689900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/689836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=689810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=689810"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=689810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
