While Amazon may enjoy owning the largest piece of the livestreaming pie, the reality is that Twitch is not a revenue generator at the scale it would like, especially compared to a massively profitable rival like YouTube. But according to a new report from Bloomberg, among other ideas to boost earnings is to squeeze creators and cut their pay. Specifically, one proposal is to reduce the payment top tier streamers get from subscriptions to 50%, down from 70%. Other ideas include incentives for streamers to run more ads, more tiers and criteria to qualify for them, and opening up exclusivity to allow streamers to also be on rival platforms. source: Twitch Reportedly Considering Giving Its Streamers A Pay Cut (forbes.com) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/masseffect/support
