Interesting. According to the leak, the 10$ is worth 2 subs and the 25$ is worth 6 subs. I suppose its to help smaller streamers grow more?

"Chat is in subscribers-only mode! Subscribe to chat!" "Emotes are tier 2 subscribers only! Subscribe for $10 a month to access emotes in this chat!"
I imagine its so more money passes through Twitch. They gotta be trying to get more of that paypal donation money with what they tried with bits.
I guess it's fine. I don't see any issue with it as long as those the person is subscribed to still gets the same share of the profits
Fuck Twitch. Why does all main-stream platforms eventually turn into huge money grabbing assholes? Youtube is going the same way. We need a platform that isn't terrible for the consumers and that maximizes profit for the content creators. Fucking who the hell does Twitch think they are?
[QUOTE=usaokay;52123048]As long watching the streamer doesn't have a paywall, then that's fine. I could hardly care about emotes :ok:[/QUOTE] Super-Sub only chat now active! To be honest, even special emotes for higher paying subs annoys me. It just splits the sub base and the viewer base in general.
