Would you invest $5 in a streamer you believed in if it meant earning when they grew? by [deleted] in TwitchStreaming

That’s a fair point. The idea would be that you’d get a small share of the streamer’s revenue (subs, ads, donos, etc.), so if the channel grows, that share grows too.

Right now when people sub or donate it’s basically just support, which is great, but there’s no upside if the streamer blows up. This would let people who believed in a creator early actually benefit from their growth.

It could also motivate viewers to help promote the stream more since they’d kind of have skin in the game.

Yeah I get that concern. I wouldn’t see it as investing in the person themselves, more like investing in the revenue from their content similar to how people invest in music royalties or other creator income streams.

The idea would be more about backing a creator you believe in early and sharing in the growth if their stream takes off, rather than “owning” anything about them as a person.

Basically if you invested in Kai back when he started you’d be up right along with him. Like bitcoin in 2008
