It's included with Amazon Prime. If you link your Amazon account, you get an ad free experience along with some other goodies. Most importantly, you can subscribe to 1 channel a month for free and the streamer gets paid exactly as if it was a normal subscription

Tip of the Hats, take Amazon's money on my behalf :)

Works perfectly for me considering I'm only subbed to one channel. No ads as well?

I like this announcement.

Worth knowing is that the old top gear trio will have their new series on amazon prime. I'm gonna wait until then.

so wait, is it worth keeping twitch turbo if you have twitch prime? they both remove ads which was the big pull for me. (i watch a lot on my tablet/phone)

"We're hoping you'll upgrade [to Twitch Prime]" certainly implies that it isn't worth keeping Turbo if you're going to get Prime.

yeah just found that in an article. seems like they're no longer doing turbo subs. here's full text if anyone is interested:

TwitchQ. Some of those benefits sound a lot like Turbo. Is Turbo going away?
A. A. First, some reassurance: we’re not taking Turbo away from anyone. If you’re a Turbo member, and you prefer to keep your Turbo subscription, you can. But considering everything included with Twitch Prime, we hope you’ll consider upgrading. In regions where Twitch Prime is available (US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy and Spain), we will no longer take new Turbo subscriptions, and instead will roll the following benefits into Twitch Prime: ad-free viewing across Twitch, exclusive emotes (the ones you get with Turbo, plus some new ones), an exclusive chat badge, and 60 days of video storage for past broadcasts. The chat badge is the Twitch Prime crown, not the Turbo badge.

shame because i just renewed my turbo yesterday ROFL

If anybody was wondering you need to be paying the 50% off price to get Twitch Prime, it isn't included with the free trial.

Yea I just saw this on slickdeals and was about to post this but did a search and saw someone already did.

This is cool because I've never subbed to anyone, but with the free sub every 30 days I definitely will.

The ad free though means nothing to me because I'm one of those assholes that use adblock. How does that work though do twitch streamers get some money for Turbo users viewing their streams even though they don't see the ads?

I'm 90% sure you can get your money back if you send them an email and explain you renewed before Turbo was announced.
Amazon are always really lenient on charge-backs for prime, worst case you pay the percentage of the subscription you used.
