    I can’t even begin to understand how hard it is to make it on Twitch. I assume probably the top 1000 streamers make the real money and the rest 99,5% probably make like $50 per month…

      I streamed for like a year and a half+ and I only managed to reach the 50$ treshold to cash out 2 times, so yeah, it’s very rough.

        I streamed for 2 years and I got 5 viewers at once that one time my friend raided me. I’m not fit for human consumption.

        Do they just, make the money disappear if you don’t reach the 50 or do they add up till you reach 50?

      For most people, it’s a hobby for fun, not a job.

      Those that want to make a job out of it tend to spread out the content creation to youtube and tiktok, and often sponsorships fill in the gaps.

      The ones that actually make a decent living only from streaming are a fraction of one percent.
