In its Twitter staff explained that he sees as the main “sin” of twitch undermine his own business and irritate his figures as Amouranth and xQc. “The sin of twitch it is not trying to squeeze its creators. Their sin is creating a business model that doesn’t succeed, except perhaps on a scale of Youtube“, the streamer wrote on her account. “But live streaming is a much smaller total addressable market than pre-recorded video.”
To end, Amouranth commented that instead of looking for ways to link to twitch with the fast growing business of Amazonthe company “decided to squeeze streamers even though they will never be able to achieve profitability that way.” Unlike the contract xQc, the terms of the agreement you signed Amouranth They are not yet public. But it is believed that she achieved something quite similar since otherwise she would not have recorded the video that she uploaded to her account Twitter.
The reason streamers are leaving kick is quite simple: twitch He has his profits distributed in a 70/30 while your opponent’s is 95/5. That is to say, it totally benefits the streamers despite the fact that on that platform the number of viewers is much lower than on Twitch. So it would not be a surprise if other big players on the platform switch to their opponent for the benefits.
