Timothy John Betar, popularly known as TimtheTatman in showbiz, has once again spoken about his ex-streaming platform. For those uninitiated, Tim parted ways with Twitch back in September due to its horrendous policies. He always felt that the purple platform was not doing justice to its users, as it never helped him when he needed it the most. Hence, he moved to YouTube gaming, where he felt right.

But that does not mean he’s stopped complaining about Twitch. Apparently, his fans have spotted him bad-mouthing the streaming platform multiple times in his streams. Now, with a new ad policy being introduced, Tim has once again spoken about the issue.

‘Twitch is giving a set money amount to run ‘X’ amount of ads per hour. One minute of ads per hour is $22 dollars. Two minutes of ads per hour is $24. Three minutes of ads per hour $26.’ ‘All I can say is, thank the lord above that I am on YouTube right now, holy f**k. And aren’t they lowering sub-revenue split for the smaller creators or some s**t like that too?’
