Twitch Prime

Twitch has just released Twitch Prime - Pair your Twitch and Amazon accounts to activate this feature. If you have Amazon Prime, your account is automatically granted Twitch Prime. If you do not have Amazon Prime, you can get it for 1 month for FREE! Twitch Prime comes with the following benefits: Free Twitch Turbo, Free subscription to (1) streamer of your choice, and MORE! Check it out at http://www.twitchprime.tv

 

That's cool but not something I can benefit from

Does the channel you sub to using prime still get his share of money?

 

Yes it does!

 

Interesting. Gonna pair mine and drop B0aty a sub.

 

Was watching this streamer I like last night he got like 180 subs in a day, 90% using amazon prime. That's pretty cool.

 

I like the idea of twitch prime, you can sub to your favorite streamer along with other benefits. The only thing I hate about the new twitch is the banner on the top. It looks so ugly and just takes up space.

 

Yeah the new banner is a bit of a pain D:

 

Saw this earlier, will be cool for all the streamers to get those extra "free" subs for this 1 month and then the small extra revenue from the people who already have prime. I wonder what the partnering agreement was between Amazon and Twitch

 

There was no partnering agreement. Amazon owns twitch as of like a year ago.

 

WHAT?! No way lmfao what the hell. I want to see Amazon Vs Google battle to the death

 

YouTube has a YouTube gaming thing now but it's not nearly as popular as twitch is.

YouTube Gaming

 

Didn't even know about it. Youtube needs to spend a lot of effort to get this popular and also enable donations.

 

Popular youtubers like to use it since u get ad money.

 

Not available in all countries yet. Benefits streamers a lot though.

 

Oh definitely, the benefit for streamers is almost immeasurable. This opens up a ton of potential income for partnered streamers too.

 

really like the fact you get the 1 sub thing, people have gained quite alot of subs from this benefit so all in all its good

 

Ahh so i can subcribe someone for free and does streamer gets money too ?

 

Yep, the streamer gets compensated for it just like a normal subscription.

 

PogChamp, sub to ICE

 

I like the whole idea of TwitchPrime, its just that Amazon took quite a while to do something about Twitch after they bought it. Although I do prefer Amazon owning it tbh rather than google as they would of obviously ruined it just like they did to YouTube.
