What surprised me is the commercial ad revenue theyre making. One streamer i watch regularly is Lirik. As of late he's been playing a lot of ads during his gameplay compared to years prior. Now i understand why.
One thing i dont understand is how Amazon Prime give Twitch users a free subscription each month. With $2.50 of the Amazon Prime cost going to the Twitch broadcaster. Thats 1/6th the cost of an Amazon Prime monthly membership going to an outside source.
Another aspect of subscriptions i dont understand is that Twitch users can gift other Twitch users broadcaster subscriptions. When it comes down to how it works. I get the feeling this is people money laundering. Phantomlord was found to be using this method two years ago.
