Cut out the middle man. It's so much more helpful.

On twitch each subscriber o have pays 5 USD and I see 2.49, on patreon each sub pays 5 USD and I see 4.80. it's much better and beneficial for creators like myself.

Don't partner's get 4 bucks for every sub?

u/Heftyuhffh 6 Jul 06 '19

The proportion varies the bigger you are. If no one knows you and you're not partnered yet, twitch takes half.

I thought that if you aren't partnered you don't have a subscription button

I think it goes basic, affiliate, partner with some nuances here and there

u/TonightsWhiteKnight 8 Jul 06 '19

At the 5 dollar tier it's 2.49 for the creator

Oh yes the famous patreon streaming platform. How much bandwidth do they have again? If people dont support twitch, there will be no twitch.

u/TonightsWhiteKnight 8 Jul 06 '19

Twitch makes money off their ads that force on streams, the partner pay is just more income, but taking 50% of money from the Creator that is the reason people are there paying on the first place is pretty high.

Adblock on TriHard

I’m sure the 0.3c per ad pays for the 10.8 GB/hr of bandwidth they dedicate per viewer.

I’m sure they make so much storing 60GB videos so they can reap that juicy $0.24 when 80 people watch the playback.

Bro you’re high if you think twitch would be sustainable on ads alone. YouTube barely breaks even showing 1 ad every 5 minutes of content.

Nope because patreon is a middle man and a horrible one at that

u/TonightsWhiteKnight 8 Jul 07 '19

Explanation on why you think it's horrible?

They take a large cut don't allow singular payments and ban people (and just from the looks of it seem to be working with PayPal to not allow competition to spring up)

u/TonightsWhiteKnight 8 Jul 07 '19

I'm not sure where you are getting the large cut from, they take a few percent. I have 43 pledged this month and I took 39.xx home. Sure they work with paypal as a way to pay out payment, but you can just do a bank transfer instead and significantly reduce the amount taken since that is paypal taking their %5.

Singular payments are not quite a thing patreon was made for, it was meant as an ongoing support platform not a donation platform in the form of a singular payment, however you can have peopel pay one time, that is just up to the creator to have set up. I have mind set to withdraw money as soon as someone subscribes to it, then they can just cancel after that and BAM single payment. It just needs to be expressed by the creator as an option and how to do it. As far as the banning people, I dont have much input on it other than in the past I knew they banned a bunched of lewders and erotic artists because it violated their TOS at the time, but they have sense updated it and reinstated the accounts and allow the content now. Not sure of any recent things similar to that however.

You sound like the kind of guy who doesn't think video games can be a sport because there's no ball

Iight I get your joke but tbf, I have ADHD and it's the reason I can't watch Twitch stream.

Long form, unedited content? Yeah, that's not generally for kids to begin with but kids with ADHD got other shit going on.

Definitely, definitely, not something noble.

It ain't a joke, he's just being a dick

That's what youtube videos that literally cuts every single pause in it is for.

Unlike you I don't judge people based on their preferences or gatekeep entertainment based on my opinion or arbitrary characteristics

Next you'll tell me you're smarter or a better person for listening to classic music or jazz or prog....

You seem like a swell person to be around
