    Doesn’t Twitch make most of its money through donations, and the insanely high cut Twitch takes from them?

      They still need to use payment processors, right? Those payment processors wouldn’t allow adult contents. Those that do, charge significantly more for each transaction.

        I find it hard to believe Amazon can’t roll their own payment processor.

          Kinda hard to do that when Visa themself don’t like their card to be used for user-generated porns.

      We don’t know because Twitch is owned by Amazon and they don’t give out the financial info of that subsidiary. It could well be that Amazon is subsidizing Twitch as a strategic move.

      Best guess is subs and bits make the most:

      Market research company Nielsen estimates that Twitch brought in revenue from all sources of about $2 billion in 2020.6

      …

      The parent company reportedly has set a target of $1 billion a year in advertising alone from Twitch. Most guesstimates suggest that it has not yet reached that level.

      If that’s accurate, ads make up less than half, with the rest being merch, subs, and bits. I’m guessing subs and bits are the biggest piece of the pie (if we combine them), followed by ads.

          Yup, it’s like $1 for 100 bits or something.
