What is Subscriber?
A viewer who pays a monthly fee ($4.99/$9.99/$24.99 for Tier 1/2/3) to support a streamer. Subscribers get ad-free viewing, custom emotes, and badges.
Subscriptions are the primary revenue source for most Twitch streamers. Viewers can subscribe at three tiers, with each tier offering more emote slots and special badges. Twitch Prime (included with Amazon Prime) gives viewers one included subscription per month.
Building a subscriber base requires an engaged community. Networking and raiding help you grow the audience pool from which subscribers emerge.
