You'll get 50% and you'll like it.

Just yesterday, Twitch scored a few brownie points when they said they were going to ban some gambling on the streaming platform. It wasn't much but at least it was something positive. Today, whatever positivity remained was tossed out the window when Twitch flatly refused to increase streamer revenue share.

A petition signed by over 22,000 Twitch streamers and viewers sought to increase the subscription revenue share from 50/50 to 70/30...

Twitch being horny on main.

Late last year, Twitch began to test a system that would allow viewers to pay real money to boost a streamer's channel to Twitch's main page. This would perhaps give the streamer some added exposure and help their channel grow. It was also obviously an easy way for Twitch (ie: Amazon) to pull in even more money.

Today, that grand experiment came to a predictable end. Viewers were using this boost feature to push channels to the main page of...

September 1st is #ADayOffTwitch.

For those in the dark, these "hate raids" are when a streamer is targeted by someone, or multiple someones, that spam the streamer's chat with hate speech....

Fans are unable to tell him due to chat restrictions.

Snoop Dogg, rapper and known supporter of the devil's lettuce, has been streaming for about a week now without any audio. According to some reports, all of the performer's last six days of streams have not had any audio.
