I looked at someone's twitch account and they had 5k subs

Subscribers pay monthly at 3.99

Plus they get donations

Just to watch someone play video games :why:
Subscriptions can vary. $3.99 is just the base. There are streamers with Sub tiers

Also streaming is no longer just video games. The political streamers are huge too

So true. What that untalented hack said was true.

The problem is, they need the rappers for content. Who wants to listen to this nikka try talk about global warming? :mjlol:


Without any music there’s no “content” that’s why you see so many of these guys just stream about bullshyt. Plus everyone’s talking about the past eras and that’s getting boring. It’s like there’s nothing else to look forward to. I’m just glad I’m not from this ADHD era :manny:

There's really not as much money in music, which is all it boils down to

Not just streamers but you got TT accounts making a good living off of mukbangs. The record labels didn't even attempt to adapt by utilizing all of the technology changes, hence why music is being left behind.

There was a chart that showed the differences in revenue for music, movies and video games, music is unbelievably low in comparison to the two.

Yes, they are. And it’s part of the reason why the two groups have been doing collabs. But this overlap of streamers and rappers might be problematic.

Besides the fact that some of these collabs are cringe or just downright uncomfortable to watch (Blueface/chrisean, lil tjay, fivio, 21, Carti to be exact), some of these streamers are starting to get tied up in some of this rap shyt.

That nikka Corey SSG out here running to Dubai after almost getting lined up by some females who run with the Prince sons (mob ties). Like damn nikka? How you go from Vlogging with your wife and showing off your wealth to this? :dahell:

Streamers need to stay the fukk away from these rappers and street nikkas. But that ain’t gonna happen because at the end of the day, that lifestyle is gonna be pushed on the youth one way or another.

I honestly wonder what is the future of all of this. :jbhmm:


Are kids gonna aspire to even make music anymore? :patrice:


Or is everyone just gonna go for the Youtube/Influencer/Podcaster/Streamer/internet Celebrity lane? :why:
Music will be done by AI

It's over :francis:

I believe it. Which is why you hardly see young rappers poppin no more. The celebrity model has changed with Gen Z and younger if you don’t have a social media presence or a streaming/podcast you are cooked at just being an artist and doing the music.
