Of course you'd need to do it in cooperation with an established Twitch partner. Can't just create a new channel and start charging.

#53Hi all. About 2.5 years ago I created Highscore Money. I was looking at pay-to-play games and wondered what would happen if you'd take it to the extreme. The result was just a leaderboard you'd pay your way into. Whatever you pay, that's your score. Today, I'm launching a new social experiment. A chatroom where you pay for every message you send. Normally chatrooms can get messy quick, because there's no cost to send…
What makes this a social experiment rather than a simple cash grab? Are you donating all the money to a charity?

I have the same feeling. With only 300 bucks we can make this guy lose 10K :D ( $10.000 / ( 0.3 + ( 0.029 * 0.01$ ) ) * 0.01 = $333,01 We would need a javascript script that would make 33301 payments of 1 cent. This would be a very cost efficient attack between business rivals.
Are you a business rival to Expensive Chat?

If the money was donated this would just make this an alternative way to donate money to charity, the creator pocketing the money is necessary for this to be a social experiment.
"How is this a plane? Is it made of wool?"
"If it was made of wool it would be a comfy hat, it not being made of wool is necessary for it to be a plane. Notice how I'm not even claiming that it's a plane."
