Twitch gets 50% of subscriptions. "Bits" go to the streamer, 100% unless they used a third party app.

Streamers have to run a certain amount of ads per hour or they both lose a larger "share" of the ad revenue, and there is a preroll. Prerolls cause a huge impact in viewership so streamers don't want it.

The problem Twitch faces is that it now has multiple competitors: tiktok, youtube, and kick.

It's not just servers/engineers. Twitch has a lot of moderation issues and that requires a lot of labor. That's partly why the others are eating their lunch - little moderation.
