I get that you have to put up with the memes and the shit people on your stream, but its nothing more than a job, 6-7 hours a day is not even full time job at that. These fuck sticks are lucky as fuck to be making huge bank doing nothing more than playing games and reading chat every once in a while from the comfort of his villa somewhere sitting in his $2000 sponsored chair on his $10,000 sponsored PCs. I also get that its more than just playing games, etc, but still come on.

If streaming is so easy and carefree then how come you guys aren't all pulling 30k subs living the good life? It only consists of playing video games with a stream open for 6 hours a day. Hell, you should be pulling twice the big guys numbers since they've never worked a job and you have all that grueling real world experience to push you that extra mile.

No one said its not hard to get into, just that once youre there its not a hard job to maintain, especially once youre pulling in six/seven digits a year for streaming 5/6/7 hours a day. Sure these fools were in the right place at the right time, some have charisma, some are funny, etc, no one is downplaying their success, were just laughing at "burn out" lul? Try a real fucking job 10-12 hours a day 7 days a week for 30 yrs pulling a fraction of the cash they are with stress, deadlines, the man looking over your shoulder. Ill take that job any day. Wake up with my underwear, stream some, make some memes, bitch at some chat, all from the comfort of my "streamer room" in my $600K mansion for a few hours a day.

From what I have learned once you are partnered you are pretty much guaranteed 40%- 50% of the sub cash. Some streamers, like the big ones have better deals, probably 60% or even more. And thats just the subs. I saw a Summit stream when he was playing PubG the first months and that fucker would get at least $500 from donations per hour if not more. Not every hour, but still. He even upped the donation value to $50 or more on some streams because it was pissing him off how many people were donating, and he jsut wanted to play the game. And still, even then, it continued just to piss him off. Wow, what a problem to have

How do gimmicky streamers do?

Like if I put on my best Canadian tuxedo, talked like my uncles (think Fargo accent), and said "fuckin' right, eh" a lot, would that sell? Maybe sit in a gaming chair draped with furs.

I would bet money you would start raking in the CAD.

Streaming is a joke, getting big in it is like winning the lottery. None of the guys are truly funny and all of them are carbon copy over the top obnoxious assholes.

Basically find the next popular game and start streaming it while acting like a retard and you will rise to the top.
