Like many tech giants Amazon It is also working to reduce spending. The company, which recently laid off 35 percent of Twitch employees, is now reducing the amount it pays content creators from Twitch Prime subscriptions.

Against this more publishers They will be able to generate income from the platform and benefit from various revenue sharing models. However, Turkish publishers are likely to experience serious revenue losses under this system.

Twitch Prime subscription revenues are declining

From June 3 Nervous twitching, For Prime subscriptions transitions to a fixed payment model. CEO Dan Clancy wrote in a blog post on the subject: “We believe this is the structure for the program moving forward, and these changes will do just that monthly Twitch subscriptions We’re making it available to Prime members for a long time so that it will provide a sustainable benefit to the Twitch community in the long run.he said. According to Clancy, this decrease will be less than 5 percent for many countries.

Here are the top revenues of major countries:

Yes, as you can see in the table, unfortunately, Amazon Turkey has literally not spared its Prime subscriptions. Even publishers in Ukraine, the country with the lowest commission on the list, will earn more than three times more than Turkish publishers. Prime subscription’s local pricing policy is also likely to be effective in Amazon’s pursuit of such a policy, but this does not alter the fact that publishers will suffer serious revenue losses.

More creators will be able to monetize Twitch

Although Prime subscription revenues have declined Nervous twitchingis also planning changes that will make it easier for content producers to take advantage of revenue sharing. Under the current system, a content creator must have a minimum of 350 paying subscribers for three months to benefit from revenue sharing. They can therefore receive a 70 percent share of the subscription costs for 12 months. Normally this rate is 50%.

From May 1st This system will also change and be renewed as a two-stage Plus program. As of this date, $5 subscriptions will be rated as 1 point, $10 subscriptions will be rated as 2 points, and $25 subscriptions will be rated as 3 points. Gifts and Prime subscriptions are not included in this calculation. Content creators who have 100 points for three months will receive a 60% share of subscriptions for the next twelve months. Those who can maintain 350 points for 3 months are entitled to a 70% share. With this change 3x more content creators will benefit from a better distribution of income.

Twitch also eliminated its $100,000 quota for high-earning content creators. In the past, after these publishers reached this quota, 50% revenue sharing instead of 70% it was natural. Now there will be no such limit. Similar Nervous twitchingaims to retain popular content creators who make a lot of money.
