Everyone is saying how much streamers are making but remember it's like being a musician, probably actually worse because anyone with a pc and internet can stream. There are millions of songs on the internet most never even get listened to. Only about the top 1% of musicians are making a living from it solely and only about the top 0.001% are making huge amounts of money.
True, true...
2012/13 I followed MrBlack0ut81.
At that time, more people donated, maybe I'm wrong, but at least I have that impression.
Basically, he had a solid 3k to 5k a month, a good character, talented, and one day he just came and said, I’m going to have to leave all this and I have to find some real job.
Everyone was amazed, but he did it, I think he worked on a construction site in the US somewhere, I think he still does the same today.
So, I want to say that you are right, for some, $3.000 is more than enough, for others, especially if they have their families, children, they have to leave it all and start a new career.
There are many such cases, we won't see people talking about them so much because all the main news belongs to those who earn millions and everything revolves around them in all spheres...
This seems to be ONLY Subscriptions revenue. Which anyone could figure out tbh just by looking at the subscribers amount of the streamer. This does not even include their twitch contract which is worth millions to stay on twitch and not go to youtube. Quite the irrelevant leak.
This is a total payout from August 2019 until October 2021.
So, it does not include sponsor deals and everything else, this is just what they are taking from Twitch --> their Bank.
I think it makes sense because it's not all in total since when they all started, it's only 2 years period.
