I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

Don't get me started on twitch subs. Supporting a creator you like is fine, but spending 100s of dollars on gift subs is so stupid.

Twitch looking at their top creators leaving for other platforms.

Increasing our revenue share, unilaterally, should fix this.

Subs = subscriptions.

A sub on Twitch gives you a badge and special emojis on your subbed channel (streamer).

You also have the option to gift (randomly) 1, 5, 25, 50, 100 subs to random followers (users).

A sub costs $5 in the US, you can gift 100 subs ($500) if you want to.
