Uh... pretty sure monetized streamers DO get revenue from ads shown on VODs. At least, I do. It's very low (as would be expected from single or double digit numbers of people watching the VODs at all).

I show ad revenue from most if not all days when I didn't stream, and was told by a Twitch Staffer a couple of years back that it was from VOD ad-serve.

Looking at my reports, I'm seeing between $0.01 and $0.47 ad-rev on non-streaming days in the last month, averaging toward 3-5 cents, which completely tracks with a handful of people watching the VODs. Ad-rev is *low*, even with the 55% AIP split active.

So... yeah. Streamers DO get paid for VOD ads already. Always have.

It's only fair that the streamer gets the ad revenue to replays of the streams they worked to create. Sometimes I'm not able to catch the live stream and going to the VOD is the next best thing.

Fair enouth! I think thats why Twitch encourage Streammers to creat VODs, Highlights and Clips. We produce free content for their adds without getting anything back! I am considering upload the material to Youtube and leave nothing on Twitch. Stream on Twitch, upload to Youtube, comunicate people using other Social Medias, simple as it is!

If someone missed out on the stream they still have to watch through ads, except twitch gets to make money off of my vod and I get nothing ? How is that fair at all? They also say in the tos that if you don’t make more than 50 dollars they aren’t entitled to pay you anything, but if you’re a small streamer every dollar counts, and twitch getting all of the ad revenue from vods definitely slows down the revenue. At least give us an option to not have ads on our vod if we can’t get paid from them.

Twitch has been running ads when people watch a streamer's Highlights and VODs for quite a while now, yet the streamer that created the content does not earn any ad revenue whatsoever from these ads. This is extremely greedy behavior from Twitch. Streamers should be entitled to a share of the ad revenue on these Highlights and VODs. If Twitch does not want to give streamers a cut, then the ads should not exist on the videos.

what? twitch don't give streamers their share from ad revenue on vods ? streamers already gets so low cpm rates on ads and they dont even get revenue from vods, also twitch compete with streamers by offering ad free viewing with turbo ,it should have been with subs feature (ad free viewing), also takes 50 percent cut. tough world streaming is.
