Twitch takes a brutal 50% cut of your subscriptions. Half your revenue, gone, just for the privilege of streaming on a platform obsessed with video games and emote spam.
If you are hosting a masterclass, teaching a high-income skill, or running a premium consulting group, Twitch is the absolute worst place to be. It is terrible for high-ticket sales. The culture is built around $5 subs, not $500 workshops. The interface is cluttered, chaotic, and aggressively anti-business.
You don't need a platform built for speedrunning; you need a platform built for scaling a creator business.
"Trying to sell a serious business masterclass on Twitch was a disaster. The audience just wanted free entertainment. I switched to Popup, charged $200 a ticket, and sold out."

Leave Twitch to the gamers. If you are serious about monetizing your expertise at a high level, you need a professional environment.
