De 1,75 dólares foi para 0,51 centavos de dólar, isso da 2,60 reais atualmente, já era meio complicado achar alguem que dava o sub com prime, imagina sub normal, os mais beneficiados (se não únicos) serão streamers grandes, que já eram acostumados a ganharem sub normal e com prime, muito complicado alguem chegar em um streamer pequeno e decidir dar um sub normal, mesmo com esses novos valores. O salto do preço do prime foi RÍDICULO, e não alteraram o valor para saque, continua 100 dólares, a plataforma já não era famosa por ajudar os menores streamers e agora ficou menos ainda, por mim voltava o valor do prime para o antigo já que 3 do preço novo n da um do antigo!! E mesmo se não quiserem voltar o valor, pelo menos diminuam o valor para o saque ou aumentem o preço para 1,50 dólar ou 1 dólar, qualquer coisa melhor que o atual!!

To whom it may concern,

I have read your blog post and help article about the new local subscription pricing model you will be launching soon. I fully understand and support the idea of making subscriptions more reachable for everybody.

Still, I would like you to rethink parts of what you have announced because I think it is to some extent fundamentally unfair.

I live in Switzerland where prices are notoriously high so I understand that I will have to pay more than somebody from a country with way lower cost of living/price level. This is totally fine. But I really cannot understand why you want to lower prices for Norway and Iceland which are literally in the same situation as Switzerland when it comes to price level. Also, Denmark, Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, The Bahamas and Finland will all see lower prices even though their price level is (to some extent) comparable to the one of Switzerland and higher than the one of the United States which seems to be the point of reference.

I am quite active when it comes to gifting subscriptions. Against this background I feel somewhat cheated. If the prices for Norway and Iceland will be lowered, so should those of Switzerland. It would even make more sense to raise the prices for all the above-mentioned countries with a higher price level than the United States. But for some reason only Switzerland gets ripped off. This to me is outrageous.

Therefore, I urge you to rethink your decision concerning Switzerland and treat us Swiss Twitch users fairly by applying the same standards to us as to everybody else.

Kind regards,

Turbo Streamer Features

Twitch Turbo doesn't have much use for those with Twitch Prime to subscribe too. Essentially all features (except ad-free) are available with Twitch Prime. People that have Prime have no real use to subscribe to Turbo as well. There are a few possible feature ideas that could make the $9/mo Turbo subscription price worth subscribing too. Here are just a few ideas. Not all have to be implemented, but a couple of them would be greatly appreciated.

• Transcode Options
  For streamers who subscribe to Twitch Turbo, one benefit that many people would be very appreciative of would be having even just one single transcode guarunteed. Many streamers would find Turbo worth subscribing too if they got a single transcode in addition to Source. For example, if they're streaming at 1080p60, a 720p60 transcode would be nice, or if they stream at 72p60, a 480p60 transcode would be super useful. Viewers with slower internet would be more likely to be able to stick around, watch, and subscribe to streamers or donate bits. With the cost of Turbo being $9/mo, in addition to having more people be able to watch streams and spend money on Subscriptions and Bits, it would be a no-brainer for Twitch to add a single-transcode option.

• Channel Points Boost
  This would be a nice to have feature, but wouldn't be required. Twitch nerfed the boost to channel points for subscribers, which makes Tier 2 and 3 subs almost not worth subscribing too, since it would cost double or more just to get the same boost to Channel Points. Giving Turbo subscribers a global boost to channel points rates would be nice. It could be a like 1.5x boost. Then if they also subscribe to an individual channel, changing the Subscriber boost to an additional 0.5x at Tier 1 could give Twitch the income to keep the platform running, in addition to being able to get that 2x boost again.

• Channel Subscription
  Twitch Prime gives a free channel sub once-per-month, but some countries people can't get Amazon Prime, so that leaves them unable to get the free sub per month. Giving someone a single Tier 1 subscription on Turbo as well, would get more people to subscribe to Turbo. And if they have Prime as well, Amazon still gets the money from the Amazon Prime subscription, in addition to the Turbo subscription for the cost of 2 subscriptions per month. A win-win for both Amazon and the Twitch member!

Personally, I (Kenson) do not see much of a reason to subscribe to Turbo, but if even one of these extra features was added, I'd subscribe to Turbo in addition to Twitch Prime. Personally, I'd make the most use out of an single Transcode option for my streams. I like to stream 720p60, but I have 3-4 regulars that have slower internet and they get lots of buffering and are rarely able to watch the stream for more than like 20-30 minutes at a time before their internet craps out.

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.

I hit affiliate and was taking off, but then life happened and now I can't stream as much (many friends in the same boat). We want to be able to stream when we can, without the added pressure of people subbing or gifting subs. When people pay to see our content for a whole month, and we don't know when we're streaming again next, it makes us feel obligated to stream more.

Receiving bits, having channel points, and having emotes is still something that would be nice to keep, but at least letting us turn off subs as we please would be great. Another use case is during charity events - I would rather people donate to the charity than subscribe to my channel.

Hello i have an idea that I would like to be considered if you will think about it. During the current situation of covid-19 and with people losing their jobs and having low income at the moment. I had an idea that if someone couldnt keep up their monthly subscription why can they not buy one using twitch channel points that they have collected over watching the stream. Say like 1000 points to purchase a subscription? Or something like that. I know viwers can gift subs but people such as myself do not like to ask others because it comes off like im begging for one. It was an idea that i had because i am a person who lost their job due to covid-19 and now have to limit my subscriptions but i have accumulated enough points to use if it was available to buy a subscription.

Please can you consider this because it may help other people such as myself struggling with money but will still like to help streamers by subscribing as well as using all the cool emotes that comes with the channel.

Changing the way the founder badge works would be nice. The current system allows 10 founder badges for Affiliates and the Partners, 25.

My proposal is to allow people who sub in the first 24 to 72 hours of the streamer getting the sub badge to get a founder badge, if the streamer does not get up to at least 10 founders in that time frame, it will continue until the 10th founders badge is there. That way, for people with bigger communities, they people who sub day 1 still get rewarded, since they are still technically founders, just unlucky to be sub 26 by a few seconds.

It's just annoying when a community of people all sub day one, and majority get cut out due to small limitations. Also, most founders in many channels are no longer there, so it makes it even more scarce after years of streaming.

Even allowing the streaming an option/rules to the founders badge themselves as partners could be a good incentive.
