A rumored series of changes could be coming to Twitch in order to increase the company's revenue, and users of the site are less than pleased. Right now, the livestreaming platform's partners have a 70/30 split when it comes to revenue, but there’s a potential change coming. Various reports suggest that streaming talent on the Amazon-owned platform could soon be getting a 50/50 split instead.It could also lead to partners being able to stream on other platforms without exclusivity being an issue in the future, but social media is furious at the move, seen by many as incredibly greedy.Jake Lucky@JakeSuckyTwitch MIGHT be taking top streamers from a 70/30 sub split down to 50/50, offering better ad incentives instead and possibly making exclusive contracts allowed to stream on YouTube and FacebookLatest from @cecianasta75324Twitch MIGHT be taking top streamers from a 70/30 sub split down to 50/50, offering better ad incentives instead and possibly making exclusive contracts allowed to stream on YouTube and FacebookLatest from @cecianasta https://t.co/4Pf5jU31AaTwitch reported to make major changes to increase revenueAccording to rumors, Twitch is looking at changing up its monetization, perhaps as early as Summer 2022. The main push is to reduce the Twitch partner revenue cut, pushing it from 70/30 to 50/50. This is only one of the changes that is said to be proposed, though.The platform is also allegedly in talks about different tiers of partners, each with its own criteria on how to get to it. Twitch may, as a result, allow its partners to stream on other platforms, which is not permitted at this time.Parker Mackay@INTERROThe fact that most Twitch streamers only get 50% of the their subscriber revenue is an absolute jokeThe 70/30 split should be the norm, not the exception - ESPECIALLY with how intrusive and obnoxious ads have gotten on Twitch2107The fact that most Twitch streamers only get 50% of the their subscriber revenue is an absolute jokeThe 70/30 split should be the norm, not the exception - ESPECIALLY with how intrusive and obnoxious ads have gotten on TwitchCurrently none of this is confirmed or set in stone, but if true, it could certainly alienate a number of the bigger streamers. After all, they would lose a significant chunk of their income thanks to this change, all to see higher profits for the company.While none of this has been officially communicated, the fact that the platform, which has seen record profits and growth over the past few years, is allegedly trying to increase profits at the expense of the people who create content on the site has left fans with a sour taste in their mouths.Not pleased with the rumored changes, social media lets Twitch have itJake Lucky@JakeSuckyTwitch be like hmmm streamers are really pissed that we do 50/50 splits, so let's have everyone even our top earners do 50/50, give more ads to viewers, andddd let them stream on competing sitesIdk what the future is but I feel like platform wars gunna be spicy this year6159Twitch be like hmmm streamers are really pissed that we do 50/50 splits, so let's have everyone even our top earners do 50/50, give more ads to viewers, andddd let them stream on competing sitesIdk what the future is but I feel like platform wars gunna be spicy this yearThe notion that the Amazon Inc.-owned platform is looking at ways to increase its revenue at the expense of the partners that create that profit has undoubtedly upset many viewers and streamers. Many feel that this potential decision will diminish their work.Katrine@itsyourkatrineSo our hard work, dedication and passion towards creating a strong community, means that we dont deserve the bigger split on subs - which our community pay for to support US????

This quite literally gives you no reason to even apply for partner and so many partnered people will probably start leaving if twitch changes the split from 70% to 50%.
