28-year-old streamer Crunkmuffin struggles with the fact that Twitch collects 50% of the revenue. She demands that Twitch should give every streamer, even the small ones, a 70% share. Almost in tears, she complains to the viewers of her suffering: They would give her enough money, but Twitch is so greedy.

How much revenue does Twitch collect?

  • Twitch gets 50% of the revenue that streamers receive through donations and subscriptions.
  • Some of the biggest streamers currently have a deal that guarantees them 70% of the revenue.
  • But this deal will also tip over in the summer of 2023, then the big streamers will only get the current 70% of the income for the first $100,000, then even these exceptional streamers will drop down to a 50:50 deal.

    • Twitch removes special financial treatment for the biggest streamers – “I am extremely sad and disappointed”

    “Twitch is literally stealing half my money”

    One streamer says: The relatively small twitch streamer Crunkmuffin from the USA finds this division unfair. In a Twitch clip she posted via Twitter, she says:

    Why don’t Twitch stop taking half the money you guys give me. Am I being unreasonable? […] You pay me enough, you pay me more than enough to be here. It’s not up to you. But here I am and I have to tell you how Twitch is literally stealing half of my money.

    The streamer continues on Twitter:

  • People should know that she doesn’t even make $4,000 a month. If she got $4,000 a month, she would hire an editor to help improve her channel. For example, when they show Dungeons & Dragons content.
  • The situation makes her feel like she’s not entertaining enough when the problem is Twitch as a company that just doesn’t care enough and is “holding her back”
  • The streamer is annoyed: If she’s on the air for 15 hours and people pay her so well, she’ll only get paid for a “9 a.m. to 5 p.m.” job (via twitter).

    This is their requirement: Crunkmuffin demands that Twitch give all streamers a 70:30 split for the first $100,000. It’s not fair that Twitch takes half.

    How is that discussed? Crunkmuffin’s post is discussed quite differently:

  • Many agree that a 50% cut is really high
  • Others say: Twitch also provides the infrastructure and gets paid for it. Another adds: A streamer of her size causes Twitch around $ 25,000 in data consumption alone. Twitch is not a “profitable company”
  • Many also advise her to generate income through other platforms such as Patreon and through sponsorships, from which Twitch does not collect such a large share

    This is how it went on: After posting her anger on Twitter and international media taking it up, it wasn’t long before she started streaming on Twitch competitor Kick.

    They then tweeted, “The problem is solved.” They released Crunkmuffin’s new streaming channel on Kick. (via twitter)

    What is Kick? Kick is a streaming platform that wants to establish itself as a competitor to Twitch and has now won over some controversial Twitch streamers. In addition to Adin Ross and Trainwreck, Corinna Kopf recently switched there.

    Behind the platform is a gambling casino that has been banned on Twitch – apparently “Kick” wants to become a haven for people who struggle with Twitch.
