Asmongold & Valkyrae blame ads for \u201ckilling Twitch\u201d as platform denies 70\/30 sub split Twitch\/Asmongold\/Valkyrae\/PixabayStreaming sensations Asmongold and Valkyrae are blaming Twitch\u2019s ads for being a major issue contributor to the platform\u2019s issues amid denying a request for a better subscription split for streamers. The drama at Twitch just refuses to stop. One day after the Amazon-owned platform banned select gambling websites after community backlash, the platform announced that it would not be implemented a long-requested 70\/30 revenue split. Instead, beginning in June 2023, larger streamers that did have a 70\/30 split will only receive $100,000 of sub-revenue, with anything after this at the regular 50\/50 split. Twitch cited the \u201chigh cost\u201d of running the site as the reason for not making a 70\/30 split the norm for all streamers and this isn\u2019t sitting well with some of the biggest names the streaming world has to offer. Asmongold and Valkyrae destroy Twitch over \u201cexcessive\u201d ads Taking to Twitter following the announcement, Asmongold rallied his troops, demanding Twitch \u201ccut the bullsh*t\u201d in regards to a revenue split. \u201cExcessive ads are killing Twitch,\u201d he remarked. \u201cYou go to a stream and it says 1\/6 ads played, you go to another tab then come back and the video player has crashed.\u201d The World of Warcraft streamer went on to present a call to action for his followers, asking them to \u201clike\u201d the tweet if they\u2019ve ever clicked off a stream because of too many ads. Interestingly, this type of post is what Pokimane made when she began campaigning against Twitch\u2019s gambling streams, and ultimately it ended up working out, albeit not to everyone\u2019s liking. 100 Thieves co-owned Valkyrae also blasted Twitch\u2019s ads, with the YouTuber accusing the platform of being \u2018greedy.\u2019 \u201cKilling your viewer base with more ads and hurting the backbone of your company, the creators,\u201d she commented. \u201cWe want to see success from both platforms since competition is good but Twitch is throwing.\u201d As the streamer wars continued to heat up and YouTube gains momentum, it will be interesting to see if Twitch backtracks or doubles down on some of its more controversial decisions as of late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
