They get same thing people get watching sports. It’s entertaining
Someone made that analogy with me guess Im just a crotchety oldhead :mjlol:

I still play games just cannot see the fun in watching someone moving a mouse yapping about what they ate for lunch. And I watch sports too.

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.[/QUOTE]
Calm down my guy :unimpressed:

this 0.0001% of streamers

most streamers are broke
This is like maybe the top .00001 percent of streamers.

Negativity (Kayfabe)
Yea, Twitch just got hacked and lookin at these numbers (and the few streamers I know of) :mjpls: I wonder if the practice of donating is the same knowing your favorite "independent creator" is a multi-millionaie.

Most of these people either swear they broke or they present themselves and set-ups as real down to earth.

This dude don't look like he has multi-millions (moist critikal) in the bank.

:yeshrug: Greed breh, a lot of these streamers want to make as much money as they can before they have to retire... Saw a vid where someone talked about how they respect pokimane more now because she removed her sub button a long time ago and people were wondering why.. theses streamers are millionaires :picard:

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 :mjlol:


  • Average NBA salary: $8.32 million.
  • Average MLB salary: $4.03 million.
  • Average NFL salary: $3.26 million.
  • Average NHL salary: $2.69 million.
  • Average MLS salary: $410,000.


Only 81 people made over a million.
I'd bet the AVERAGE streamer makes less than the average MLS player. How far down does that list go? :mjlol:
