The Epic/Apple controversy extends to streaming monetization as well.
Facebook recently shared they will not be taking any cut of Subscriber revenue from fans to creators.
For context, Twitch currently takes 50% sub revenue and YouTube takes 30%.

Inside the Streamer Dashboard on Facebook, it says they will not take a cut.
My assumption is that this means Apple/Google will still get their 30% but that FB won't take any cut after that 70% which means the creators get ALL of the 70%.

This is similar to YouTube which states that 30% goes to handling platform fees.
There is an argument that YT could be more creator friendly by removing the 30% fee for subs on Android.

Twitch is the least creator friendly when it comes to revenue sharing with Creators compared to both Twitch and YouTube.
It is fair to say that Twitch has a more established fan monetization behavior and there is more successful live streamers on Twitch vs. YT/FB.

This seems like a cheap win for Twitch to say that they will grant an additional 20% revenue to Creators.
... however given the pressure on them from Amazon to hit revenue targets it is unlikely to happen.
