Streamer breaks down in tears after Twitch takes half her money Twitch\/CrunkmuffinA Twitch streamer is going viral after she broke down in tears explaining why it\u2019s not fair for Amazon to take half of the money viewers give to her. Twitch\u2019s subscription revenue split has been a very controversial topic for a long time, with the site operating on a 50\/50 split \u2013 but it\u2019s beginning to be too much for some streamers. Amid the controversy with Twitch\u2019s split, other platforms have risen to compete such as Kick, which lets streamers keep 95% of what they earn, prompting a wave of former Twitch stars to jump ship. In an emotional stream, broadcaster \u2018Crunkmuffin\u2019 teared up while putting Twitch on blast for its decisions and opened up to her viewers about how it\u2019s unfair for half her money to be taken. Streamer tears up explaining how Twitch takes her money In a post on social media, Crunkmuffin revealed how she couldn\u2019t upgrade her content with editors because she doesn\u2019t have enough money left over after Twitch takes half. \u201cDude, how about Twitch doesn\u2019t take half the money you guys give me?\u201d she began her rant. \u201cI\u2019m sorry you have to hear this. I\u2019m sorry I have to even have this conversation on my channel. \u2026You pay me more than enough to be here.\u201d With tears forming in her eyes, Crunkmuffin made it clear to her fans that it wasn\u2019t their fault she was in this position and that all the blame falls on the streaming platform. \u201cI\u2019m making 20k a year when the people are paying me $40k a year to be a streamer. Sh*t\u2019s f**ked up,\u201d she captioned the clip. In the comments, the streamer went on to slam Twitch, accusing the site of holding her back when she could be using her finances to grow and improve her content. \u201cAnd this whole time I\u2019m thinking it\u2019s my fault for not being entertaining enough, when in reality, Twitch as a company doesn\u2019t care. The people do.\u201d Since the tweet went viral, Crunkmuffin has begun to stream on Kick. Whether or not a mass exodus of streamers will make Twitch rethink its ways remains to be seen, but it\u2019s clear that streamers have more options than ever to change platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
