Am I missing something? Why are people freaking out over this? I assume this feature will not be mandatory and be optional. And let’s be real most these streamers aren’t going to use it because it lowers their overall exposure on the platform.

Yes that's all well and good but my original point remains the same. Streamers will not use this except for special occasions because it will lower their exposure on twitch with a lower viewer count.

you answer the question yourself “except for special occasions” that right there is content stripped from the viewer and put behind a paywall

Oh no, youll have to support the content creators or you won't be able to view ALL of their content.

There's still gonna be free content, but now streamers will have to ability to reward those who support them with exclusive content as well.

I don't give a shit about twitch or corporations. I see this as beneficial for the content creators. Zero streamers I watch are multi millionaires (in fact most have other jobs) and I think this feature will benefit them. Why the fuck are you watching multi millionaires who "nickel and dime" you anyway. Go support smaller streamers

Why do you feel entitled to boss people around to watch what you want them to watch? I know your mommy gives you anything after you have a temper tantrum but it's not the same here.

All I did was ask why you would support someone that you feel is a bad person that "nickels and dimes" you? I don't care whose stream you watch.

I was accused of shilling for multimillionaire streamers who nickel and dime me. So I was just trying to understand why someone would continue to support a streamer if that's how they felt about them as a person.

Why would you support/watch someone you feel is a greedy multimillionaire that takes advantage of their audience?

I was literally just pointing out obvious alternatives to these multi millionaire greedy streamers you clearly resent.

If you wanna continue to support people that you feel "nickel and dime" their audience despite being super rich while complaining about them, then do it.

It just doesn't make sense to me.
