Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning
Road_Warrior_10@lemmy.world 1 month agoI 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…
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.

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.

My average was between 2 and 3 viewers.

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

They save it.
