Twitch has announced a new Boost feature that will enable viewers to essentially pay to advertise their favourite streamers’ channels.
The platform trialled a version of Boost last year, but it relied on viewers’ channel points, not real money.
When this happens, the channel in question gets recommended to the wider Twitch community under the Recommended Channels section.
Unfortunately – as it stands – Boost is intended to be available for all channels, meaning massive channels, too, can make use of it to remain prominent, leaving smaller channels essentially where they were.
