Asmongold estimates streaming from second channel costs Twitch $150k monthly Twitch\/AsmongoldPopular Twitch streamer Asmongold is costing Twitch a considerable chunk of change streaming on his second channel, as the platform reveals how much it costs to host content. Asmongold is easily one of the biggest content creators on Twitch. With over 3.3 million followers, the MMO streamer is practically a household name on the purple platform. However, for the past few months, Asmongold has been streaming primarily on his second Twitch account, which at the time of writing has close to 1 million followers. Despite his second account booming in popularity, it still remains completely unmonetized \u2014 essentially costing Twitch over $150k a month. Asmongold costs Twitch a fortune streaming on his second channel Despite calls for Twitch to expand the 70\/30 sub revenue split to all streamers, in a September 21 blog post, President Dan Clancy explained that the platform won\u2019t be making the change due to the site\u2019s high overhead costs. According to Twitch, it costs more than $1,000 per month to host live video for a streamer who broadcasts 200 hours a month at 100 concurrent viewers using Amazon Web Services\u2019 Interactive Video. Taking the math above into consideration, Asmongold worked out just how much it\u2019s costing the platform streaming on his second channel. In his September 21 broadcast, he concluded that he cost Twitch over $158k in the last month, leaving him completely shocked. \u201cI\u2019m getting got, man,\u201d he joked. \u201cYeah, that is uh\u2026 man,\u201d he stammered while struggling to grasp words. \u201cI\u2019m paying them in exposure, yes of course I am.\u201d Viewers noted that typically it\u2019d cost the platform much more, considering he usually streams more hours. Nonetheless, he was taken aback by how much he\u2019s costing the platform to stream \u2013 though it\u2019s unclear if he\u2019ll return to streaming on his Asmongold account after the shock realization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
