Facebook Gaming will no longer charge fees on subscriptions

In a tweet released on Monday, Josh Maresca, Facebook's Partnerships Manager for NA Gaming Creators, revealed the move to stop charging the usual 30% cut.

"Some of you have already noticed the changes we have made regarding supporter revenue. Starting Aug 2020, and for the next year, Facebook will not be taking any fees from fan subs."

100% sub revenue on @FacebookGaming just saying.

1000 Subs= $5,000

It’s great that @FacebookGaming is providing streamers with 100% of their sub earnings, but I hope they also create a way for interested creators to contact them!!

It's a bold move for Facebook, and one designed specifically to entice streamers in the post-Mixer age. On Twitch the fees taken from subscriptions can range from 30 to 50%.
