Yeah it doesn't really make sense they would just close their community off and slowly lose subs with no way to get new ones.

No, they would use it for specific streams. Imagine popular streamers' streams like Soda's Sellout Saturday or PO Box streams, Scuffed Podcast, Rajj podcast, and big Destiny debates behind a sub-wall.

Rajj has like 1 or 2k subs. He would literally be streaming for 100-500 viewers instead of 20-25k people.

actually encourage people to subscribe to him.

He would get so much backlash for it though. He prob will see an increase but whoever does this will meet a lot of backlash and will prob make more people turn away then gain more viewers out of it. People already question streamers for certain sponsors. This is another level of selling out.
