the leaked twitch payouts should honestly be an eye opener and a conversation about the robbery twitch does on their creators. taking 50% of the majorities pay is wild and we don’t make nearly as much as viewers think we do.
inb4 some dusty dorito person comes rolling in here like “yOu DoNt ThInK 50% iS fAiR yOuRe UnGrAtEfuL” like firstly, stfu. we work our asses off and are quite literally the backbone so yeah, taking half of my hard earned work is bullshit 🤙🏼
and by backbone, i mean we literally are twitch. without streamers, there is no twitch. i don’t wanna discredit the viewers/lurkers because, let’s be real, y’all the real backbone.
@motherrmoon To be fair, I wouldn't necessarily label any one group the "backbone." Each are significantly important parts of the puzzle and if any one piece fails, the entire thing collapses. The hard part is each piece is also usually partially in conflict with the other.
@motherrmoon They forget without content creators nobody can consume said content.
