Twitch opening up subscriptions to most streamers, big and small, on day one

Twitch is making a major change to how streamers can earn money on the platform. In an open letter released on Feb. 27, CEO Dan Clancy shared Twitch’s plans for 2025, including an announcement about how it wants to use monetization tools this year.

Up until now, streamers had to reach Affiliate status before unlocking monetization options like subscriptions and bits. This required hitting milestones like 50 followers and a certain number of streaming hours. Now, Twitch is removing that barrier for most creators, allowing them to start earning money much earlier.
