Reinventing the Social Media Game

One thing that makes human life so special is how we can always make it better. You see, when you are able to grow in such a consistent manner, what happens is that you end making yourself eligible for some notable milestones along the way. While this is backed up well by all the milestones we have achieved so far, none do it quite like technology. Technology stands out rather comfortably because of reasons that are bigger than its innate skill-set. Instead, they also revolve a great deal around the creation’s ability to mould those skills, and consequentially, make them suitable for a range of purposes. This, in particular, would help technology big time with taking over the entire spectrum, and as soon as that turned into our primary dynamic, we never looked back. Soon enough, the creation was reinventing our identity in every conceivable area, but even after successfully doing so, it will continue bringing all the right goods, and if anything, Twitch’s latest move should only allow this trend to get bigger and better moving forward.

Twitch is officially expanding its ad incentive program, therefore covering more creators than ever before. This is interestingly partnered up with more revenue for individual creators. According to certain reports, the platform will no longer calculate the creators’ payouts using the CPM model, which would pay the streamers a flat rate for every 1,000 ads watched on their channel. From August onwards, Twitch is going to pay these streamers on the basis of a 55-45 approach that will see them getting 55% of the revenue for each ad that runs on their channel. However, in order to qualify for the new payment structure, the creators will have to run at least three minutes of ads per hour. Interestingly, if the streamers can manage the stated goal, they’ll also get rid of those highly annoying pre-roll ads.

“We found that a fixed CPM model wasn’t the most straightforward way to share revenue with creators,” said Mike Minton, vice president of monetization at Twitch. “So we’re now launching a new model that’s not only easier to understand but also increases ad payouts by paying creators 55 percent of the revenue for each ad that runs on their stream.”

Twitch’s relationship with its creators, so far, has been a controversial one. Back in April, Bloomberg reported how the platform was planning to increasing earning by decreasing revenue share of some top streamers, a report that sparked immediate backlash. Nevertheless, despite the hullabaloo, Twitch remains a financially attractive prospect. The same was proven on the back a report, which revealed “creators have earned over $1 billion in earnings in 2021, including earnings from subs, Bits, and ads. This is a more than 50 percent increase compared to 2020.”
