While at it, they now forbid all streamers (not just partners) from simulcasting to other streamer services.
They force you to have their ads, but give you no revenue. Any source of revenue you manage to have gets hit by a 50:50 split, streamers can get banned anytime for vague reasons (like a vtuber showing too much "skin" e.g. vei (veibae) recently, but not equally enforced, particularly meat-based streamers tend to get a pass) and on top of that they want streamers to be captive on Twitch through these new measures against streaming to multiple sites.
It is an abusive relationship.
I hope this is the last "kick" streamers need to just move on to greener pastures.
It would be great if one of the larger corpos simply moved all its streamers, and this set a trend.

- snvzz 3y agoAIUI kick is a twitch-like platform with a better revenue split (95:5) and without the whimsical moderation. Even moderately large vtuber agencies (e.g. vshojo) have constant trouble with Twitch, with their streamers getting arbitrarily banned, sometimes right on their debuts. With the last batch of changes, it makes sense to go elsewhere. From a business continuity perspective, it is already a no-brainer. Moist is completely on point. Twitch is way too abusive, and its corporate culture issues seem far too deeply rooted, only getting worse over time.
