Twitch gamer streamers getting paid more than Pro Athletes and CEOs

[GzUp]

I’m a pretty consistent person who watches twitch streamers, I watch fortnite tournaments. I don’t donate though.

The NFL has way more than 81 people making a million a year, to say nothing of all the other sports leagues.

this 0.0001% of streamers

most streamers are broke

 

[Uitomy]

Irs def watching

 

[Geek Nasty]

Man this is crazy. I cant watch streamers for more than 30 seconds i dint care how elite they are

And they’re annoying as shyt to play with because they’re always trying to make you a guest appearance in their sideshow.

This is like maybe the top .00001 percent of streamers.

 

[concise]

The amount of kids/adults around the world watching gaming at all times of the day and night, 365 days a year that are subscribed and donating constantly. + ad revenue and endorsements from basically any and everything >>>>>>>> a short season of regional and national sports that only last a hour or so per game that you only pay once, capped salaries, limited contracts and endorsements from sporting companies.

how’s this even a question? Gaming overtook sports a long time ago.

So these dudes you are championing basically have to be on their screen 24/7 to get their money? And that's better than being a pro athlete who can actually take breaks, can flip their fame into numerous different avenues like movies, politics, etc.

Yeah, the luster is gone when you realize you gotta do that shyt all day every day. It becomes just another job.

Lol you assume a streamer can’t take breaks or do all of those things? No one is streaming 24/7, the platform is available 24/7…big difference. They’re already at home or on vacation doing what they love to do, they can stream wherever they go. You’re just watching them. They don’t have to break their bodies down or risk injury for your entertainment, they’re at home talking shyt and raking in more money than your favorite athlete

I remember when it started, my goofy ass was just using it to watch Soccer and random TV shows.

Should've been set up my own channel

This shyt blows my mind, not that they are getting that bag but that enough people actually watch that shyt to generate that much money, why in the fukk would you spend hours watching someone else playing videogames?

Young people have too much money in their hands.

That's what they enjoy doing, they are getting paid for shyt they would be doing for free anyway.
