What is outrageous in this price increase is, that they don't make a difference by country economies. A sub in Hungary costs the same as in the rest of the EU or UK. First off, Hungary doesn't even have Euro. Second, last time I checked, a monthly salary in Hungary was the equivalent of a weekly salary in the UK. And yes, some prices are cheaper there, but not everything, and people still spend the same percentage of their wage on housing and stuff so the money they are left with at the end of the month is a lot less. I don't think anyone can really afford there to pay for a Twitch sub. And this is just a country I'm familiar with, but there might be others on that list too in similar situation.

I do like your idea of membership prices like on Youtube. I think this is the same reason why I see a lot of creators mainly focusing on Patreon and such now. They can there set different tiers then which suits their community and individual circumstances, and honestly I gave up on reaching Affiliate on Twitch, so probably will do the same. People can then support me from first moment if they want, and not relying on a platform deeming my content worthy enough to earn money on.

(Kinda pissed me off that I saw some voice actors starting streaming, they are great people don't get me wrong, but one of them got offered Twitch Affiliate after one stream! Excuse me, but one of the criteria for that is to stream on 7 different days... how do you get Affiliate after one session then? Oh wait, you are famous so Twitch wants a cut, got it...)

Reasons why I love JA. Everyone has an equal chance from the moment they set foot on the platform.
