Im definitely fudging the numbers. They probably have more in other places and use all sorts of other social media platforms. And I don’t really bother to verify since I start to tune them out when they go into “getting more traffic by optimizing TikTok shorts” or whatever.

GigglyBobble@kbin.social 9 months agoMy friends have YouTube/twitch. They’re extremely popular, in the 100k+ range. They all quit their job
That's surprising to me. Are 100k+ really enough to make a living?

I’m kidding, it can be good to have friends who aren’t the same as you. But seriously that sounds so TIRING. Like omfg just get a job at that point, so you can at least forget about it when you aren’t working.
When I came back from winter holidays to my job I didn’t remember ANYTHING. It was glorious

On youtube barely, on twitch for sure. Generally you would have more income streams like a patreon and some such. Maybe even merch. If you're doing it all solo, you can easily earn 4-5k per month with these numbers and that's often better than many full time jobs.
