MoistCr1TiKaL slams Twitch for new Sponsored Subscription experiment and explains how splitting revenue with Twitch might harm streamers

Twitch's new Sponsorship Experiments have incurred heavy backlash from the community, with streamers like MoistCr1TiKaL criticizing them for introducing features such as sponsored gift subscriptions.

Popular variety streamer Charlie "MoistCr1TiKaL," who is known for giving his opinions on current affairs in and outside the streaming world, joined many others in calling out Twitch for trying out new policies that could potentially reduce a streamer's revenue from sponsorships by integrating them into channel subscriptions.

Twitch is known to take a 50% cut of revenue from subscriptions, which could significantly impact those who rely on sponsorships to make a living. Charlie took to his stream today to explain why this might harm content creators on the platform.

For context, the main backlash against implementing the new sponsorship features is due to the controversial 50/50 subscription revenue split. By tying the sponsorship money owed to the creators with subs, many feel Twitch is unnecessarily taking a cut from a streamer's earnings.
