This move comes months after staying firm in a 50/50 split.

In late September 2022, Twitch announced that they are not going to budge on a policy change that would let Twitch partners earn more than 50% on all subscriptions. For a long while, several Twitch partners were earning a 70/30 split, which let them pull in 70% of all user subscriptions, while everyone else earned the base 50%.

At the time, Twitch streamers and viewers signed a petition pushing for a 70/30 split...

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...

Twitch, like most every other sane person, is tired of the group's lies.

Twitch just updated their community guidelines with a new section aimed at weeding out those who spread "harmful misinformation." The new section is listed as "Harmful Misinformation Actors" and some streamers have already gotten hit with the ban hammer as a result of this new policy update.

Twitch says that this policy probably isn't going to "impact you or the streamers...

September 1st is #ADayOffTwitch.

Multiple Twitch streamers are planning on boycotting the platform in protest of hate raids that have been hitting marginalized streamers across the site for a while now. They feel as though Twitch has done very little to prevent these hate raids from happening in the first place.

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.
