Most of the time on Twitch, “Let’s get the top five, my son!” refers to the video management team. Now, in pursuit of a tragic crush, the gaming world is looking at a new board: one that stays in line based on the money they make from Twitch.
Dispute circuits cleaned online Wednesday after unidentified 4chan user loss More than 125 GB from the search platform, which includes multi-payment for over 10,000 Twitch. Twist confirmed breach later that same day, claiming that a change in server configuration allowed “a hacker” to access the information. More information, which promotes subscriptions, donations, and promotions from August 2019 to October 2021, became available on 4chan, Twitter, Reddit, and many other media outlets. (Several advertisers have said that the message is very accurate, although the payments to Twitch do not represent their own money.) And while operators are concerned about privacy issues that may arise as a result of data breaches, many have been mindful of money and, as always, making money on shows.
“NUMBER 6 BEGS FOR PRIMES,” columnist Ludwig Ahgren called his livestream yesterday, referring to the Prime Twitch reception. 24,000 spectators were opened. Looking at a website that developed reliability into a board, Ahgren wrote in various user names to find out what he made. (The website was removed.) On one occasion, Ahgren summoned another river, Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo, to continue the gossip. “Number six!” Rinaudo shouted in greeting Ahgren. “You have to roll over to get my number. That is a shame. ”
“I don’t want to hide the amount of what I make, so I’m down to make it,” Ahgren tells WIRED. “I’ve had a meme for a while: a bigger, better person. That’s what it feels like to be a designer, which depends on your value as a person and your size, the amount of money you make.” (Ludwig confirmed Bits, with promotions from late 2019 to October 2021.)
All day yesterday, streamers and their fans named their favorite game enthusiasts with their numbers on the non-profit board of Twitch. On the popular Twitch miseche subreddit r / LivestreamFail, notes are full of titles like “# 6 talk to # 23,” “worst bad news # # 137” or “# 6, # 188, # 264, # 280, # 269, # 343, # 414, # 550, # 1049 and # 1905 teams to beat # 28. ”
One of the things that makes people so brave comes from paying for what people give on the site. According to the report, a total of 81 executives have received $ 1 million via Twitch since the end of 2019. The top five received more than $ 5 million each. While much of the economy was explosive, it is not uncommon for some streamers to take millions. Instead, smart viewers are able to calculate for themselves the costs of other advertisers, without the losses required. Subscribing to advertisers with a Partner share costs $ 5, and Twitch takes 50% of its revenue. So if a Partnerered streamer has 50 subscribers who pay $ 5 per month, the girl earns $ 125 per month from subscriptions. In addition, fundraisers earn revenue from Bit offerings (Twitch takes 30 percent) and peer-to-peer advertising programs (which Twitch takes 20 to 30 percent), according to Alex Curry, a game developer at Upfluence.
“This loss shows how profitable advertising can be, and we’re just talking about revenue from Twitch itself (subs plus ads plus bits),” says Curry. This is not a complete overview of advertising findings, however. “With these statistics, you can increase trade, sponsorship, sales, and donations. That’s why the highest pay is higher than this.” was not involved in the loss of the hackers’ data – it could be very large. Yesterday, in a spreadsheet, Ahgren with them that from the end of 2019 until October 2021, he made $ 3 million, 44% of his income, from donors.
