I was reading candidates article today and 2 videos say subscribers only.   I already pay for chess.com.  Shaking me down for Twitch sub is B.S.

It's a separate company not owned by chess.com.

Is that really an accurate reply?  Twitch is a separate company but chess.com posting videos on twitch is not separate.  That is chess.com generating revenue from another website.  So yeah it kind of bugs me too that I paid for a membership here, but the video content is dried up and all the recent stuff is in the chess.com twitch channel and I'd have to go pay more money to see it.  Which makes me wonder why I pay for a membership here? (At least concerning video content)

Amazon owns Twitch. Yes, Twitch subscriptions make some money for Chess.com but the popular streamers for Chess are about 1/100 as popular as the video game streamers.  (Right now, there are 6.5K viewers for  all combined chess streams and 893K viewers for a one video game stream called Valorant.)

I don't think that chess.com makes a lot of money from Twitch.

Wasn't there a free twitch prime membership to their channel in the past?

If you have Prime, I think you get benefits on Twitch.

I'm a prime member but it fails to give me access. I was trying to subscribe to GothamChess's channel using the link that indicates Prime membership. It just takes me to a prime gaming page with no chess!

DUDE chess.com cant provide twitch support

twitch is like youtube but it costs money to subscribe to people dummy

and chess.com cant control thaat

if some random chess streamer or a official streamer streams and makes it subscriber only chesss.com has NO CONTROL you stupidheads

if its chess.com official it could be for specific reasons

if they give you free subs twitch subs can be used anywhere

and it would be a huge waste of money
