Over the past month, the function was tested among several streamers in the United States. This allows viewers and streamers to “boost” a stream to a front page slot for additional promotion. However, the reporter Zach Bussey has collected the data and believes that he cannot use the feature immediately. Did you remember the Paid Boost this Stream experiment that Twitch ran last month? Well, I collected a lot of data – and the results are clear and probably obvious. Paid Boosts don’t seem to have any impact!https://t.co/cvNpzwlsP. Zach Bussey (@zachbussey) December 14, 2021, 2021.

Bussey compared the data collected during the test to the previous month for a number of streamers involved in the test. This data includes average concurrent viewers, followers, peak views and more – that is why every engagement should amplify again. His findings weren’t clearly positive, so he didn’t reap any beneficial benefits. The stats were increasing, while others were reduced by almost 50 o’clock. In fact, 60 from 125 streamers Bussey watched had less views during the boost. He created a “victory percentage” stat, a reflection of increased stats. Only 49 percent of the streamers participated in a steady increase of engagement. It’s important to note that this was a test by Twitch and, with such inconclusive results, is likely to be completely implemented. The feature received a lot of negative feedback from streamers, as many were unhappy with the money received from Twitch and not their streamers themselves. These results suggest that streamers and viewers would pay Twitch for no immediate gains. Some streamers that participated in the test failed to stream at all – possibly due to a negative feedback – which could have also brought down averages. Watch bussey’s video below.
