Part 4/9:
Twitch is facing its own unique array of challenges. It is suffering from dwindling ad revenues, with some popular streamers reporting earnings as low as $10 or $15 a month from advertisements. This has led to an over-reliance on subscriptions and viewer donations as primary revenue streams. Recent reports indicate that Twitch's previous model, which relied heavily on ad revenues, is rapidly becoming unsustainable, prompting the platform to open its partner program access to a wider group of streamers in hopes of revitalizing growth.
