Sykkuno concerned Twitch exclusivity change could be \u201creally bad\u201d for streamers Twitch: SykkunoSykkuno is one of the latest streamers to share his fears over the rumored monetization changes that could soon be coming to Twitch, with the worry that the change could have a particularly damaging effect on big streamers. As one of the world\u2019s leading streaming platforms, Twitch has amassed over 2 million broadcasters since it was bought by Amazon in 2014, with 50k creators going on to become partners. Many partnered streamers have gone on to enjoy very profitable careers thanks to a 50\/50 or 70\/30 revenue split by streaming exclusively on the platform. However, Twitch is reportedly eyeing up a series of monetization changes. According to Bloomberg, this includes revenue splits being capped at 50\/50 and streamers including more ad breaks. Not only that, but Twitch reportedly plans to cut exclusivity deals, meaning creators could stream on multiple platforms. Understandably, the streaming community has been rocked by the rumors with many creators already speaking out against the changes. Now, Sykkuno has voiced his thoughts that the changes could be \u201cvery bad\u201d for streamers. However, he went against the grain saying the \u201cno exclusivity\u201d plans could also be a problem. Sykkuno disagrees with fans over Twitch exclusivity plans There were several changes in the report which were blasted by Twitch viewers and streamers, alike. However, the idea of exclusivity deals being cut was met with praise as it would allow streamers to broadcast on multiple platforms. Yet, Sykkuno claimed it was also a \u201cbad\u201d idea. \u201cIt sounds good, but it\u2019s bad because of what you get for exclusivity,\u201d he explained. \u201cA lot of big streamers get special deals to stay on Twitch [\u2026] the thing is no exclusivity means they\u2019re not going to get those deals anymore.\u201d After a fan argued that no exclusivity would be better for bigger streamers, Sykkuno disagreed saying it could be \u201creally bad.\u201d He claimed: \u201cA lot of big streamers have a contract to be exclusive with Twitch and they get a lot of money. So, if Twitch says \u2018we\u2019re not doing that anymore\u2019 that means they don\u2019t get those contracts anymore.\u201d https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yq_LzCjsGII Sykkuno worried over \u201cscary\u201d Twitch changes Similar to his fellow streamers, Sykkuno expressed his fears over Twitch\u2019s reported plans to cap revenue splits to 50% is \u201creally bad\u201d as creators could \u201close out on a lot of money.\u201d Sykkuno also panned the possible change of more ads being included during streams. The topic of ad usage has been particularly controversial in recent times with Twitch offering $100 to streamers who run two minutes of ads for every hour they stream, much to the anger of viewers. \u201cI think it\u2019s going a little far,\u201d the streamer said. \u201cI think everyone\u2019s already seen a lot of the changes they plan on doing which is kind of scary, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
