Twitch takes 40-60% of everything, so that's not "0 costs." Bits are just donations, and every streamer already tries to get people to donate directly to circumvent Twitch's fees, and subs are possible through Stripe directly, or through Patreon or their self-hosted version.
So, literally none of what you said is reality.
- mdrzn 5y agoTwitch takes a cut, but doesn't "cost" anything. When you signup and decide to start streaming, do you have to buy a subscription or pay for something?
- bryans 5y agoYou're making some ridiculous assertions that do not reflect reality in any way. If a business pays a commission to a service it utilizes, that is a cost. If the viewer is paying $5 and Twitch takes $2.50, it COSTS me $2.50 to participate in their system. Whereas, what you're suggesting is that the expense magically doesn't even exist, simply because you didn't need to pay it up front. Except that's not how anything works.
