motion vs Twitch: keep 90%, not 50%
Twitch is great for discovery, but its sub split is roughly 50/50. motion lets you ticket exclusive streams and keep 90%, use both together.
Twitch is unmatched for reach and discovery, but the economics are tough: standard subscription revenue is split around 50/50, ad revenue per viewer is small, and you are subject to the platform’s rules and payout schedule.
motion is not a replacement for Twitch, it is the paid layer on top. Use Twitch for free discovery, then convert your most engaged fans into ticketed, members-only sessions on motion where you keep 90% and own the relationship.
