Streamers claim Twitch payouts were lowered without warning TwitchA slew of Twitch streamers are claiming they received their lowest payouts ever from the website as it continues to face backlash amid multiple changes and updates. Twitch has faced a swath of outrage over the last two weeks, starting when the platform created a proposed update to its branded content guidelines in early June. These new restrictions around advertisements were eventually removed \u2014 but other issues soon took their place, such as when Twitch prohibited multi-streaming on any other \u201cTwitch-like\u201d platforms. Most recently, Twitch has actually brought back its 70\/30 subscriber split with Partnered creators\u2026 but the joy from larger streamers regarding this latest change has come alongside complaints from smaller streamers who claim their payouts have been much lower than before. Partnered streamers lash out at Twitch over \u201clowest ever\u201d payouts On June 15, Partnered Twitch streamer \u2018Babywock\u2019 uploaded a video to Twitter calling out the platform after receiving the \u201clowest payout\u201d he\u2019d ever gotten in a little over a year of broadcasting. \u201cThe numbers are not lining up,\u201d he explained. \u201c\u2026now, you guys are messing with my food. You\u2019re messing with the roof over my head. You\u2019re messing with the hard work that creators put into this platform. I need answers.\u201d Babywock isn\u2019t alone. A number of other streamers took to the replies to share similar stories, with one streamer even claiming she received a negative payout from the site. In a screenshot, creator \u2018kitty venom\u2019 showed that she\u2019d actually been charged $91.56 at the beginning of the month. \u201cI\u2019ve been streaming for like a year and a half and have never had this happen, or at least never noticed it,\u201d she said of the situation. \u201cPay attention guys. Sad times.\u201d i had to take a little break from stream and went to check my rev at the beginning of the month\u2026 it was negative\u2026 i\u2019ve been streaming for like a year & a half and have never had this happen, or at least never noticed it. pay attention guys. sad times. \ud83e\udd7a pic.twitter.com\/ab906yCe2R \u2014 kitty venom (@kittyvenom) June 15, 2023 Whatever the case may be, it\u2019s clear that this is a problem affecting many Partnered creators who are seeking answers. This is just the latest issue to plague Twitch following outrage over its return of a 70\/30 sub split with the induction of its new Partnered Plus program. Although Twitch recently revealed that it\u2019s bringing back this highly-coveted sub split, there\u2019s a major catch to the clause that\u2019s also inciting outrage from streamers \u2014 Dexerto reached out to both Babywock and Twitch for comment on the situation. Twitch claimed that it could not comment on the matter due to \u201cprivacy reasons\u201d for the streamers involved, but we spoke with Babywock in a tell-all interview, which you can read right here on Dexerto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
