Twitch reportedly considering big partnership changes and sub revenue splits
Twitch is reportedly considering big changes to their partnership contract, including reducing subscription revenue splits and adding more incentives for partners to run ads throughout their streams.
Twitch considering partnership changes
In the report, Twitch is considering at least three major changes to the partnership program. One of the updates they are considering would be more incentives for streamers to run ads throughout their stream. This is a change that some users believe has already been added to some large streamers’ contracts, as NICKMERCS has dealt with complaints about his ad breaks since here-signed with Twitchlast October.
The Amazon-owned site is also considering getting rid of the 70% sub revenue cut offered to certain partners on the platform, lowering it to 50%. “Twitch staff is considering paring back the revenue cut of channel subscriptions granted to the top echelon of streamers in its so-called partnerships program to 50%, from 70%,” Bloomberg reported. “Another option is to create multiple tiers and set criteria for how to qualify for each one, two of the people said.”
In theory, if Twitch released NICKMERCS from his exclusivity with Twitch, we could see himstreaming with Dr Disrespect again.However, Nick would still have to stream on YouTube. It’s important to note that these updates have not been finalized and could be changed — or completely abandoned before they are made official. We’ll have to wait to see what happens in the coming months.
