Ngl idk the details of how is profitable and how is greed , but they have to get paid to keep the service active. If you not like it better use other platforms and ask host to stream on those too, if I am not wrong there were a few streams platform that are P2P and not server based .

@@mbk0mbk dude, they are running themselves into the ground, they have no care for their creators, And are in it PURELY for the money, which wouldn't be bad if not for the fact they are harming themselves and their creators.

Twitch KNOWS you can do this. They still profit either way because enough people watch ads site wide

200 people isn't even a quarter of his average audience why are people okay w 200 gifted subs some streamers at his size will throw 100 gifted on a bet like its nothing dude isn't a hero he trying to make his greed acceptable for chat bc he souposed to be this frick the system dude

It's a good thing to twitch lets you gift subs to your own viewers 😌

Twitch doesn't care as long as they can show the "right" numbers to those company who buy ad space on the platform. The fact that viewers actually see or not the ads is irrelevant. All they need is to tell the companies that this streamer who has that many followers and subs will activate ads 4mn/day for a full month. Verifying how many people actually saw those ads and were influenced is the advertising company problem.

He simulcasts to KZfaq now that Twitch lets you.

He's live right meow

His live is not 99% garbage & 1% clippable genius. It is 100% THIS all the time. It's a sight to behold.

Wait do some twitch streamers play/talk during ad breaks? Every single one I follow uses an ad break screen and/or gets up for food/bathroom during that time. You need to follow better people.

@@bengardner8639 in my experience, sometimes you kinda have to because the ad manager in the stream dashboard will tell you one thing (assuming you're using it since afaik you don't see when ad breaks happen without it since twitch gives their streamers a T3 to their own channel), but people will be getting their ad breaks all over the place legit, i once had the ad manager claiming the next ad break wasn't for another 5 minutes, but i still had people complaining about a 10-stack of ads twitch just landed on them while other non-sub, non-turbo chatters were saying they didn't have any ads honestly, wouldn't be surprised if the only way to ensure no one's missing anything during an ad break is to run them manually and then go get water or something during that time

@@bengardner8639 Depends on who it is and what game they're playing. Some games allow for them to get up during the ads. Other games not so much

A lot of folks I watch on Twitch play Magic, and they'll usually run ads between games or during sideboarding, but sometimes the ads run longer than those pauses in stuff so I miss out one the first couple turns, but that's usually not too bad. Definitely seen some folks that will just straight up run ads whenever they feel like though without taking a bream

@@bengardner8639 I typically watch online games where its not realistic to be able to pause for ads, im subscribed to most of the people I watch so I'm not really affected by it

​@@mrthor3061: 4 minutes per hour. He has said he streams 6-8 hours (I don't know if he currently does this); so, that means 24-32 minutes of ads in the first hour.

It's funny cause it's actually extra taxable this way

​@@andrewferguson6901Not necessarily, if he's able to write off the paying for T1 subs as a business expense, which should be entirely doable with an accounting possessing a pulse

@@andrewferguson6901 deductible as business expenses maybe

This man has discovered ultimate power. *Perfect tax evasion!*

​@@andrewferguson6901 it depends on what you mean by tax. You could say ads are a tax on your limited time and attention when you want to spend it on something else.

Then, Twitch changes the rules by flipping the chess board and points a gun at you. Even though, you broke no rules. But, Twitch made a rule and claimed you broke it. Retroactively. Which is BS, as that is like getting arrested for smoking a cigar in a bar before the laws were changed to stop you from smoking in public places. You cannot punish someone over something that did not violate the rules or laws, before the rules or laws were created.

Devilishly angelic, seymour

​@@ralek592Would probably be "Deviously angelic" actually.

but his math was so wrong... stupid to be honest

I'm guessing rather than half, he went with spending 1000 on 200 subs, he gets back 390, plus the 1300 he's keeping, that's about 1700.

@@PrefoX His math is not wrong or right it's incomplete. He said "Twitch also pays me money on top of that" and doesn't give the amount. That's where the discrepancy comes from.

​@@NinjaThatLongboards possibly, considering his history hes probably already quite comfortable in life. So he seems to be doing this because he actually kinda enjoys it.

@@NinjaThatLongboards What ruse, twitch made more money this way, he's the one getting rused here lmao...

@@suckit4669 It's not him or twitch getting the short end of the stick, technically. Both of them are making money, it's the companies who are paying twitch for ad time that are losing out in this ruse.

@@ColonelRogers How are the companies losing money? Twitch isn't getting money from these companies for the people that he gifted the subs to... In what aspect are these companies losing money here. This isn't a ruse, it's just him being stupid and paying for some of his viewers to not watch ads, none of his viewers are worth a few dollars a month in ads, that's why twitch offers the option to not see ads if you're a sub... These ad companies are not paying twitch for the ad time from subs because they're not getting ads. I don't even think you really understood what he is saying here, this "ruse" simply loses him money and makes twitch money while the ad companies stay neutral and don't gain or lose money. Him = Paying 600$ in Subs so a few of his viewers don't have to watch ads which just means he is losing 600$ Twitch = GETTING a few hundred $ from him so that a minority of his viewers don't have to watch ads so while twitch loses out on ad money because they can't get money from the ad company because they aren't running ads for these people, Twitch is making more money per person because they aren't getting a few dollars for ad time per person but now they are simply getting a few dollars per person. Ad Company = Literally nothing happens on this end, I don't know where you assumed that they are losing money but they are not, no ad time is being paid for subs...

I think it's the other way around. He's like a Vulcan that's smart AND Emotionally intelligent

@@friendly_neighborhood_idiot No, twitch is the winner here. Thor gets money to play ads he doesn't want to play so he buys subs with the money he's paid so people don't have to watch the ads. Twitch on the other hand pays Thor to run ads he otherwise wouldn't have, then he uses the money they gave him to buy subs and they only have to pay him half the money for the subs he bought so half that money goes back to twitch plus now the people who are subbed now get a taste of not having any ads so they'll feel compelled to keep paying for their subs themselves or get way more ads, it's a win win for twitch, a small win for Thor, and a temporary win then lose for the people who gets a free gift sub, whether they keep paying for the sub or just deal with getting way more ads afterwards. Whichever way you look at it twitch gets both what they paid for and some of their money back, plus now more people are conditioned into paying for subs.

@@HarleyAMV Yeah... I guess you're right. Twitch does take a win here.

@@HarleyAMV yes, but since none of the ads are being watched, the "businesses" are not getting coverage.. that means they will look for other advertisers than twitch, and twitch loses in the long run, since a big chunk of their money is advertising. And thor and his viewers get at least a couple of months of free money/subs they didn't ask for.. so who wins in the end?

​@@reman81 You're so close to understanding what you're talking about but just hit the mark. Advertisers don't have to pay for ads that no one sees. If everyone gets a sub, Twitch makes more money than they would from advertisers. But not everyone gets a "free" sub from Thor, so some people DO get ads and because they paid Thor, those people get more ads than usual. If every single person that used twitch had at least one sub twitch wouldn't need advertisers (though they'd probably still have them since it's "free" money) Twitch always wins. More subs = More money. More ads = More money. And part of the money they pay Thor, is used to by twitch subs, which they keep 50% of... so they get part of the money back. That's not even mentioning how they can deduct the money they pay Thor on their income taxes, in fact because of them paying Thor, they basically don't have to pay any taxes on the money they get from the subs he buys with their money from them. Most of the money just goes back into the pocket of Twitch, how can you not see this as a massive win for Twitch?

They won't care. As he is reinvesting that money into twitch. So they get to keep money and he gets more subs and less viewers that are watching ads. :)

@@MangaManiac But this is extremely bad for twitch as an advertising platform. Companies don't get their investments returned and twitch loses ad partners.

​@@Skyl3t0nStrictly speaking, if Twitch were to have enough subs, advertisers would be unnecessary. Also this trick alleviates income taxes for the money received through Thor's gifted subs.

​@@Skyl3t0nAlso those who didn't get subs see more ads.

This is not the reason. Companies pay twitch for them to run ads, and twitch is paying him to run ads which he will. No one sees the ads but everyone is payed what they are owned. At most this is the reason why the paying company isn't making money.

@@ubiquidade Yeah, tbh, its shocking how Twitch still has a lot of company customers paying for ads. Like, I bet the conversion rate is horrendous. Companies paying for the super bowl, for example, expect to have a 75% return on their investment in increased sales (so, running a loss), or hope their ad goes viral, which, if they are lucky, turns into a 7500% return on investment. The superbowl is basically the ad lottery. With other ads, the return on investment is expected to be 120%. So they expect to have about 30% more sales (doing all the maths, this number is more accurate than it seems, basically, 100% investment on product compared to 90% on product and 10% on advertisement, getting them 90+30% for 120% sales). On Twitch, I heavily doubt it gets even close to a reasonable number since people absolutely despise the ads on twitch. On KZfaq, even with their current ad-heavy conquest, the ads are at least bearable and there are some where you are like "yeah, maybe not now, but I might want that product through that company in like 2 months".

@@Predated2 are there people who watch ads without immediately building up hatred for whatever company is associated? I always assumed other people react similarly Maybe it's just that TV/Radio ads are so out of touch

@@NegniwretIf the ad is longer than 5 secs or can't be skipped I'll hate the product and the company, otherwise I'll concede.

​@@Predated2I'm definitely curious about some of these numbers, I've always felt that we're so oversaturated in ads these days that they have minuscule returns/conversion, but maybe I really truly underestimate the average consumers resilience to adverts.
