Twitch Prime Boosts Streamer Subscriptions
In the 2010s, the streaming market saw increasing competition. Twitch, now a major player, gained momentum after Amazon acquired it in 2014. This acquisition not only propelled Twitch’s success but also marked a promising development for the streaming world.
In 2016, Amazon introduced a free subscription token for its Prime subscribers, including Twitch Prime. Originally designed for fast order deliveries, Amazon Prime expanded its perks to include Twitch benefits.
Twitch Prime offers Amazon Prime members the opportunity to subscribe to a Twitch channel at no additional cost. With over 112 million U.S. Amazon Prime subscribers, streamers found this to be a golden opportunity to boost their subscriber count.
Initially, many viewers were unaware of the free sub offered by Twitch Prime. As a result, streamers had to get creative in reminding their viewers about this perk.
The Rise of Twitch Prime Copypastas
This led to the birth of Twitch Prime copypastas – blocks of text that viewers would spam in chat during noteworthy moments. What started as a useful reminder turned into an annoyance for long-time viewers and existing subscribers.
Here are a few popular Twitch Prime copypastas you can join in on:
- “Hey guys, did you know you can link your Amazon Prime account to your Twitch account and subscribe to your favorite streamer FOREVER… for 30 days… FOR FREE!”
- “Do you want to know about Twitch Prime? When you connect your Amazon account to your Twitch account, you get 1 free sub to ANY Twitch streamer every month! Along with that, you can get exclusive Twitch gear and your favorite games!”
- “GUYS! If you have Amazon Prime or know someone who does, you can get a FREE subscription! It’s FREE MONEY!”
- “Hey guys, want to know a cool fact? Most people don’t know this, but the majority of people have a Twitch Prime sub they don’t know about. Use it on this stream! Fun fact!”
Adding Emojis for Extra Impact
If you want to take copypastas to the next level, try adding emojis. This will make them more engaging and increase their impact on chat. You can use the EmojifierBot on Reddit to easily add emojis to the copypastas.
Note that different streamers may have their own versions of Twitch Prime copypastas, making each announcement unique.
