Streaming site, Twitch has responded tostreamerswho were pushing for a new revenue sharing plan.
The streaming giant has denied users a better revenue-sharing deal despite the pressure from streamers and users.
The majority of Twitch streamers receive 50% of subscriptions on Twitch.
The other half goes to the streaming service.

Any revenue the user earns after this will fall under the standard 50/50 plan.

According to Clany, they essentially raise the income share to 65%.
But Twitch is obviously trying to steer streamers toward alternative revenue streams, including the ad incentives program.
