Twitch gamer streamers getting paid more than Pro Athletes and CEOs

[old pig]

lol at ppl taking the title so literal

this is cool to see tho…I’m not familiar with these streamers and am curious how many are black…it’s a nice lane I’d love to see young brothers dip into…was watching a brehs channel (granted it was youtube) and was pleasantly surprised to see he had over 11M subscribers…it’d be cool to see sisters in it too who are genuinely into gaming as opposed to washed out white whores looking for a simp bag

Isn't Chad Ocho Johnson doing this too. Dude always talking about this on I Am

Those guys are older, too rich, and won’t stream consistently enough. Tpain kind of dies what you say. Tee Grizzley got his own GTA server or some shyt going.

Good points.

I wonder if the audience being aware that the streamer made millions already would impact donations

 

[KingJay]

that's just based on like followers and stuff I'd guess, not even counting donations

 

[Metal Face]

im in the wrong profession

 

[O.Red]

Keep trying to tell y'all

Black folks still shyt on and sleep on Twitch when nikkas over there Thanksgiving feasting

 

[O.Red]

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

Remove some zeros and yea

But look at the scope of it all

There are nikkas making a million a month and there are nikkas making $30 a month but what people miss in focusing on extremes are the nikkas in between

There are plenty of streamers making a DECENT living

 

[O.Red]

This maybe real but this is very hard to believe.

How so?

 

[SheWantTheD]

Not surprising. Many of those folks been around for a long time since the beginning of Twtich and some when it was JustinTV. It's pretty difficult to break in now unless you get co-signed by some of those top streamers or their adjacents.

Shiieet you remember justin tv?

That was the go to site for movies and hoes lol.

Surprised they never went after twitch streaming all that copyrighted material

Twitch is Justin tv

They saw that gaming was the way to go

Within 3 years they were top 3 most viewed platform on the internet

I hear there will be a part 2 chat logs, dms etc etc and you know a lot of these streamers are shytting on how dumb their fanbase.

This streamed named Ninja said one time to a hater: "i can iterally purchase the bank that your house is being loaned out to, your mortgage, and fukking foreclose your house. And then you can't talk shyt to me because you won't have internet."

 

[Pimp]

These game streamers are financially raping those kids and dumb adults.

That's why Xi Jinping dropped the hammer on them in China.

How do people have enough money to donate to streamers? Must be a white thing because i don't see any black streamers in the top 5 of any game.

 

[Starski]

This amazing, making millions playing video games.

Question

What do folks get from watching these people play games?

Entertainment? You can really say that about any sport/movie/show.

 

[BlaccSunrise]

Been watching nickmercs when he used to play Gears of War since the justintv days

 

[O.Red]

I'm just wondering, are these guys pro/elite gamers giving tips or whatever. I genuinely know nothing about stuff like this.

Twitch is a variety of shyt

Gaming is the main thing obviously but there's even a spectrum within that. There are the tournaments/events, and some of those pros are celebrities in their scene and get followed accordingly

For the last few years Twitch has expanded outside of gaming and is essentially a media platform. You can make whatever you want

A lot of DJs stream live sets and make bread

Talk shows, movie reviews, podcasts, random comedy. I watched boxing and UFC events on twitch for years before they cracked down

This is why I stress that black people gotta get in on this shyt, especially a lot of these black YouTube creators that scream at nikkas to hit the like button and super chat for 4 hours every few days. Too many act too good for it because it's A gaming platform and they feel above it

Twitch's potential hasn't been close to tapped imo
