Suggestion: I would love the ability to gift Turbo to someone. Same with subscriptions.

8,99$ a month is too much, at 7$ CPM (assuming 50-50 split between twitch and channel) that would amount to about 40 ads a day every day, now let's assume your streamer runs 6 ads per hour, that's 6,5 hours of watching streams.

Unless you're the kind of guy that likes to open 3 streams just for kicks you are NOT going to get a good deal out of this
.
Neither is the streamer.

Wouldn't this hurt subscriptions for some ppl o.O? Some ppl will just pay the 9 bucks for turbo instead of subbing

Why do I care how much money twitch and the streamer make from each ad? I just don't want to see them!

Not a good argument. If you don't care who gets what, you can just use adblock. If you care about and don't use it, then the question who gets which part of your money is relevant.

I am actually part of the ones targeted with this, ever since twitch came to be, I only got shown about 10 ads.

This is them making easy & plenty of money instead of looking for deals in more countries.

If you're not working on getting deals to have companies buy ad-space and instead offer a ridiculously easy to maintain feature, at least expect to make less money from it that if you would have otherwise.

Everything is here in the thread or in their blog.


Broadcasters are paid on a per-impressions basis for ads. If a Turbo user would have seen an ad, it's recorded and the broadcaster is paid as if the user had been shown one.


Ad-free Twitch: No pre-rolls, no mid-rolls, no companions, no display ads, and broadcasters still get paid. All you see are front-page takeovers.

Twitch should provide a similar service to Sky Sports, ESPN and the equivalent. In a matter of fact, all business operations are highly dependant on numbers and volume. Twitch should focus their efforts in concentrating viewers into a lesser number of streams and providing higher quality content.

As popular as streaming appears, its not actually all that big... for the millions of gamers there are, i seldom see many live streams with mass amounts of viewers.

I think Twitch should buy rights streaming rights and then turn that cost into a profit through ads and pay per view. The quality of viewing will improve and then more people will watch. Leave VOD and all that to youtube...

As a suporter of responsible adblocking, I'm ok with this. I already don't adblock streams that provide decent content (and don't watch others) and when I'm back to being able to watch streams more often again, I'll probably end up picking it up since I really hate ads.

Would probably pick up a TSL+ pass again too anway (if available) when the time comes.

No.
1. This would mean I am unable to stream.
2. If Twitch went PPV I would stop watching Twitch.

I've been a long time subscriber to justin.tv pro, which offered similiar benefits @ I believe ~$10 a month. Was worth it for me at that price point, so I don't see why I wouldn't subscribe to twitch turbo.

Its safe to say Twitch Turbo has a long development cycle ahead of it. I can't speak to any specifics, but we're gathering as much feedback as possible about cool features and additions we can add to make Turbo a more compelling and beneficial product.


So in other words this pay model is in "beta" yet you are going to try to sell it now for the same price as when it is completed. I for one prefer a model that starts at a lower price point to gauge interest and iron out the service and then, and only then, raise the price.

With your logic, any game before an expansion is in beta. What they are releasing is a complete product, raising prices would cause anger, people would question why they have to pay more.

Edit: Oh dear god I wrote you're instead of you're.

meh another service I don't think alot of people will use, considering the number of people that already use adblock including me. Just another way for them to make money.

Doesn't it kind of take the power away from the streamers in terms of subscribers? People will be less inclined to directly support a streamer this way because they already have a subscription to everything.
