How can we improve subscriptions?

Subscriptions: Local Sub Pricing

Categories

This is not just an idea, but the harsh reality...

I'm a Twitch Streamer of 7+ years with 3500+ subscribers from Türkiye. I can't make a living anymore. Local sub pricing after all the cuts and taxes is just lunch money, and it is getting harder and harder month after month to have a viable income off of Twitch. The problem is not the Twitch cut, it's simply the price of the subscriptions. 1USD is 28.90TRY right now and Tier1 Subscriptions are 9.90TRY, even if streamers got the full amount paid by viewers on subs, it's nothing. This forces everyone to employ other means of income, making streams and the platform quite disingenuous. Twitch has to adjust local pricing according to current economic climate.

    yeah this isnt just in turkey. in canada the t1 sub is the same per month as disney+, how am i supposed to compete with my content at the same price point as Disney? i dont have a million dollars budget for every stream i do, and i dont have over 50 years of back catalogue content. you need to let t1 sub prices be set by the streamer so they can set a price in line with the value proposition of the content they offer.

    Due to the exchange rate differences between the Turkish lira and the dollar, Twitch subscription prices in Turkey are insufficient in terms of providing income for streamers. In this context, updating and increasing the prices will enable Turkish streamers to generate more income and continue on the Twitch platform. This regulation will positively impact both the streamers and viewer community in Turkey.

    this is so true. no reason to continue for Turkish streamers anymore.

    I completely agree and give my full support. The issue that needs to be underlined is "1USD is 28.90TRY right now and Tier1 Subscriptions are 9.90TRY".

    This is true
    I think there definitely needs to be improvement for small publishers to continue.

    Çok haklısın abi, küçük yayıncılar çok az kazanıyor, twitch'in bazı politikalarını düzeltmesi lazım maalesef :/

    That's exactly right. Small streamers cannot earn from the version. This Twitch prevents small streamers in Turkey from broadcasting.
