Twitch is a livestreaming platform, where people typically play video games while chatting to viewers. Streaming site Twitch has announced plans to share more of its revenue with creators as part of a shake-up. The revamped system, called the Twitch Plus programme, will come into effect in May. Twitch estimates this will mean “three times as many streamers” will benefit from better revenue shares than the default 50/50 split. The new deal will keep in place the 70/30 revenue split offered to the site’s even more popular users, who have more than 350 paid subscribers each month. That part of the new system was previously announced in June 2023, as part of what was then called the “Partner Plus” programme, which was met with a degree of criticism at the time. What is your take on the new deal ?
