liriks been at 30k+/stream for 4+ years now, he's banked at least 20m if not more so yeah he could do jack shit the rest of his life and be fine. I was surprised to hear he's taking a break, saw the vod of his last stream (yesterday) and it just ends with a "cya tomorrow". I watch his stream on and off because he plays quirky weird games that i'd never wanna play but its cool seeing them instead of just pubg/fortnite/csgo all the time
the twitter msg he announces it is nice though as a bunch of people i've been watching over the last year all comment that they have his back and stuff - sherriff eli, giantwaffle, moonmoon, summit, etc

Lirik posted on this on his SR just a minute ago.
Hello • r/DatGuyLirik
I know working as a CSR rep for way too many years the shit eats away at your brain becaose of the constant bitching and it hasn't effected my mental health for the better. Yeah he's made millions, but he really needs to change shit up or he's going to go crazy. Good for him recognizing it before he becomes bitter and jaded about everything.

He should take off longer, but he has this rep of being Twitch's most consistent streamer. It shouldn't matter, but it is what it is. He really should just do 8 hours five days a week. Moonmoon does that to keep his sanity. Moonmoon does split up his day into 4 hours shifts to grab Euro's and US peeps.
I will say though he has gotten kind of lazy. He used to do stuff like this:

I find it funny, but he never does stuff like this anymore.

The problem is he's a kid and he's seeking validation and feeding into it.
He should just say he's going on vacation and come back later. That's what a normal well adjusted person would do. He's probably never had a real.job. I'd imagine his social skills are seriously lacking.
As for $20M I sort of doubt that. I think I read he was pulling estimated $500k/year. Even someone like PewDiePie was only pulling $4M (only!!!!) A year during his height. Not that 500k is anything to shake a stick at.

There is a couple stream called NrageGaming out of Detroit I went to drunkenly one night. They average about 100-112 viewers and they are well over that in sub count. Whales being able to gift subs now helps streamers even more now. I joined drunkenly watching the guy side of the stream (i forget his name) play PUBG and got gifted a sub while talking in their chat. If this was 20 years ago, Furor or Tigole would be making bank off streaming Everquest. Furor especially from at least his forum persona would have raked in the cash. People love players that rally against the devs.
Overwatch League starts tomorrow, the next big Overwatch streamer will be the one that calls out Jeff and the balancing problems that come from that game. There is a one-trick(a person who only plays one hero regardless of the situation despite if it's fucking over his team) player, called Stevoo(he one-tricks Symmetra who isn't very good on offense and plays her on offense), he has repeatedly gotten reported and gotten temp banned. He has built a following/audience over it because Jeff has come out saying one-tricking is ok despite fucking your team over. The next big Overwatch streamer who has an over the top persona will feed on that and make it big calling this bullshit out. Most Overwatch streamers just ignore it right now.

Imagine dealing with thousands of Tardnoombas, Tolans and Screamfeeders for hours and hours and hours.

Million dollars > EQ raid secrets. EQ raid leaders have sold out for less.

There isn't million of dollars for this shit though, you don't get 30k viewers because you stream the last boss in a mmo, even with how many people play wow, most streams don't get good numbers even during new patches, the only ones that do are when a new expansion launches and some other non-wow streamer comes in and streams wow. Plus it's more profitable to actually get the world first, but streaming progress means you're giving your competition free information, especially if you're slightly ahead of them or figured out a better way to deal with x mechanic or whatever, and if that means losing your world first, then shit's been completely worthless. Also get a lot of youtube views on the world first kill video.
Ultimately, people don't really want to watch progression. Wiping for 16hours a day isn't fun to play and isn't fun to watch. They want to watch the kills, and maybe a highlight reel of the fails, but otherwise they want to watch entertaining people play entertaining games, and raid progression isn't really that, especially since the streamer has to be pretty focused to actually get any progress done, can't read chat, can't thank every fucker who donate because it means so much to them and welcome to the retarded-but-cool-guys-club.

I dunno how much people follow things, but before xmas there was a thread on reddit about a little boy in the hospital who really loved watching Shroud asking when he was going to be streaming so he could watch from the hospital. Shroud reached out to them after seeing the thread because he was on vacation and not streaming, and I guess at least talked to the boy and made his day. They posted this video on reddit yesterday. Pretty awesome shit all around
