I believe these recommendations combined would positively make a huge impact for every streamer and supporter.

Change the payout split between streamers and Twitch. Right now affiliates and most partners only get a 50% split from a Twitch subscriptions ($2.50 USD). I would like to see all streamers get a minimum 70% revenue split from subscriptions with a higher revenue split for all partners 80%. Currently both Facebook and YouTube streamers get a 70% split from subscriptions (and they have the option to create custom subscriber tiers with Youtube).

In addition, I would like to see Twitch lower its payout minimum which is currently $100 USD to $10 - $20 USD. A $100 USD payout is the equivalent to 40 subscriptions not including bits or ad revenue. For the smaller streamers to benefit from that financial support a viewer gives them, they need to be able to actually receive it in a reasonable amount of time.

To put this in perspective: Amazon Affiliates monthly payout minimum is 10 USD (they also give the option to pay out with gift cards) and Patreon's monthly payout minimum is only 3 USD.

We need info on the price brackets of our subs! I have no idea what my viewers are paying for my content... As we have 1,2,3 tier subs information described, it only makes sense we know how many subs are paying 1,2,3,4... dollars as well. As an international streamer i have no idea what people are paying for my content and this is affecting my income and my mental health significantly. I have streams that i think went well just to go to my dashboard and be confused by the income stats. What influenced that result? Was it me? My category? The tags? The hours livestreamed? Or did I just get unlucky with a lot of 1€ subs? I don't know because... there's no data!
Imagine you have a restaurant and you are serving menus all month with no fixed price. At the end of the month you have no idea if it was a good month, the boss aka twitch is counting the money and you just kinda have to...hope for the best and trust it? Before this I was able to have an idea of my income by looking at the sub count and I would adjust the content and hours streamed accordingly. Now? I have no idea what's happening and it makes me really anxious :( please let us know how many subs are in which price bracket, you shouldn't have moved forward with local pricing internationally without our dashboards fixed first with the information we need to do our job!

$4.99 for a subscription and 50/50 payout is what content creators sign up for.

What they get in reality:

If based in Europe, pay 5 Euros ($6 per sub)
If based in UK, pay £5 (a whopping $8 per sub!)

Do content creators receive 50% of these extra payments, no, they receive the appropriate % of $5

Is it fair for people based in Europe, UK, Canada, Aus, etc. to pay MORE for subs than the US and yet as a streamer receive significantly less than the 50% they are promised in the affiliate/partner agreeement? Of course not...

PLEASE FIX THIS so that a) People can CHOOSE which currency they pay in b) If people choose to pay in a different currency that the conversion is reasonable and close to $5 c) That if people are to be charged more that the content creator gets the agreed % revenue

It is exceptionally helpful to know if people are unsubscribing due to factors outside of our control (such as a viewer's finances or schedule changing) or within our control, such as a streamer schedule change or experimentation with new content. This would help alleviate the stress of wondering if unsubscriptions are something we can affect as streamers or if it is primarily beyond our control, which would greatly decrease some of the mental burden and worry of never knowing for sure why people unsubscribe. This data, collected via an anonymous dropdown menu, would be incredibly helpful so streamers can best navigate future decisions.

Anonymous Sub Cancellation Dropdown Ideas:
- My finances changed.
- I subscribed with Prime, and I periodically switch up who I use it on.
- I received a gifted sub and chose not to continue it.
- I choose to support this streamer financially in other ways.
- My schedule changed, and I can no longer watch as often.
- This streamer's schedule changed, and I can no longer watch as often.
- This streamer doesn't stream often enough.
- This streamer's content changed and/or no longer fits my interests.
- I had a bad interaction or have a personal issue with this streamer.
- I have an issue with Twitch.
- Other

Now, this is right after regional prices for Europe came out. Most countries are now set to 3.99 EUR, despite countries in Eastern Europe (especially countries in the Balkans), having 3-6 times less income than nations in western Europe.

Just for a bit of comparison (data is from google)

Bulgaria - Average monthly wage = 595€
Serbia - Average monthly wage = 562€
Romania - Average monthly wage = 743€

France - Average monthly wage = 2,225€
Belgium - Average monthly wage = 2,262€
The Netherlands - Average monthly wage = 2,240€

I understand it may feel ****** to people living in wealthier countries to pay more, however like I already showed above, the money made in different countries isn't even in the same atmosphere. I would ask for Twitch to either rethink the prices for Eastern European countries.

I receive one or two of these emails each month, as I'm currently subscribed to 2 channels via the twitch.tv site.

Subject: Your Subscription Will Be Renewing Soon

Then in the table below:

Renewal Date: 19 Oct 2021

Description: Tier 1 - 1 Month Subscription - AU
Amount: A$7.99

Nowhere does it say WHOM this subscription is for! I can only tell by looking up my subscriptions list and comparing the date and amount for each subscribed channel. If I had more than a couple of subscribed channels, as I'm sure many users do, this would be a nightmare.

The channel name should be a key feature of this email.

Streamer Toggle - Show/Hide Cancellation Reasons

I'm not a large streamer, but hear me out. There's an argument that a streamer shouldn't see the reasons why others cancel subscriptions as it might cause resentment toward their community.. and I see and hear the validation toward mental health and awareness. I think the easiest solution here would be a toggle that would allow the anxiety to be skipped, and for a streamer who identifies that they might develop resentment towards their community to dodge the resentment. Have the toggle to 'hide' the reasons on by default on roll-out, and a streamer would have the choice to view cancellation reasons.

I think that seeing the cancellation reasons as a broadcaster would allow for potential invaluable feedback on content and understanding, and denying a streamer this knowledge would be impeding growth. Knowing that a portion of your audience unsubbed because you stopped playing <insert voxel game> and started playing <insert shooter game> is important knowledge, and while it might cause anxiety or resentment in some, it is valued knowledge for others. The best 'all around' solution to this issue would be to provide the knowledge to the streamer, but in a way that those who are concerned about knowing won't be 'swimming' in the knowledge on day 1. The toggle solution, with the information 'hidden' by default is that best all around solution.

Firstly I'd like to praise Twitch in listening to my previous idea regarding 'Local Sub Pricing' https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310231-subscriptions/suggestions/42603280-fair-payments-and-payouts

However there is one element of this that still seems unfair. In almost every aspect/part of the world there is generally an 'adult price' and a 'kids price' so for Twitch I also feel that if an account is verified as that of a person under the age of 18 (maybe you'll need to verify ID or something so this system would not be abused) they should certainly be paying no more than half-price for their subscriptions and gifted subscriptions.

Using the US price as an example, $4.99 is a lot of money a month for someone Under-18 and I feel you'll get a lot more subscriptions charging just $2.49 a month.

Thanks for considering!

Another update that makes Small Streamers lives a lot harder and makes it much better for bigger streamers. I get it that it is unfair for some countries to pay more for subs.

Isn't it unfair that small streamers earn less though?

Twitch says they are 'trying' to make the streamers earn more money with more subs but small streamers rarely get subs and I don't think its because of the price. It is because they don't have enough viewers or some just don't want to waste their money on subbing. I earn 0.33$ per Twitch Prime and $0.96 for paid subs.

If Twitch are actually 'trying' to make it so streamers earn more, isn't it better if they take like 20% of subs not %50. Clearly they will make less money but more small streamers will be able to turn Twitch into a job. A lot of our income goes to taxes already and Twitch taking %50 just makes them greedy. I also think this 100$ payout should be changed to $20 or $50. As a small streamer I barely used to get $100 in a few months and now earning 0.33$ from a Twitch prime it is going to make that few months into a few years!

Speaking about Twitch prime most of the people use their Twitch Primes to support their creators instead of paying and now making 0.33$ from it is just a joke.
