About the resignation
The name of the vice president is Constance Knight. She reportedly wrote a letter to employees that said she is embarking on a “new adventure that provides exciting growth opportunities for me both professionally and personally” that is also “in the creator space.” She has previously worked for big companies like Youtube and Instagram at a similar position. She left the company right after it made the announcement about the reduction of money for the biggest streamers which means that they will now earn less through subscriptions.
“Dan is the ultimate embodiment of a tenured business technology professional coming from a non-creator-first company trying to right-side a ship that seemed to be veering off into unprofitability,” said Zachary Diaz, Twitch’s former director of emerging content, who also spent eight months as TikTok’s US head for creator management for its Live platform. “He is this embodiment of ‘Creator sentiment is secondary to everything.’ There’s no leader to push back against that, so it’s now the direction of Twitch.” “We can’t run this service unless you make money,” Twitch president Clancy said. “That’s not a drawback; it’s by design. This innate partnership is why we support all streamers’ careers and ambitions like they’re our own.” Clancy said the “vast majority” of Twitch streamers operate with a 50/50 revenue split.
