Mixer has supplanted itself as one of the top streaming services on the market. One of the attributes to Mixer is that it is a very interactive service that focuses on the interplay between the player and the watcher.
Twitch and Mixer have been going head to head, with Mixer now having some top streamers jumping over to the platform as of late. Many streamers have started up on the platform, but others have left from Twitch and moved over to Mixer, partially thanks to some of the streamer-friendly services.
Mixer is owned by Microsoft, and to help during the trying COVID-19 times, Microsoft has handed out $100 dollars to every Mixer Partner. Microsoft had to disable some of the Xbox Live features due to usage spikes from the global pandemic, so handing out $100 dollars to each Mixer Partner is a nice testament to Microsoft’s commitment to the streaming platform.
To be partnered on Mixer one must meet quite a few high benchmarks, including streaming regularly, having about 2,000 followers, and more. At that point, a Mixer Partner may be making some decent money, but every penny will count.
The COVID-19 crisis is hitting hard, and streamers are working hard during the quarantine to entertain quite a few people who are unemployed. Mixer is making many quality of life improvements lately, and this is just the latest example of money moves from the company.
