it's actually insane how much a Twitch streamer can make with the right viewership

my friend and David's cousin, Victor, he just recently started streaming Binding of Isaac every night for 3-4 hours after work and with an average viewer count of about 60-80 people he's making well over $100 in donations every night about a month into it

CalebHart42, he rarely gets over 1000 viewers but I almost never see him make less than $300-$500 a night

I'll never understand why people feel compelled to donate ridiculous amounts to female streamers in particular though
I'm pretty skeptical that it's because they feel their entertainment value deserves a $1500 donation, but if someone can honestly afford that then I'm 100% positive that there's a girl out there for them...

Same reason you pay for cable or to see a movie.
Streamers are entertainers. You like what you see, you pay to see more.

I wouldn't be donating money to my cable provider if they let me use their service for free.  

i feel like you would be flat chest

I don't know why anyone donates any money to streamers. I started watching some recently every now and then, and I don't even subscribe because they charge you for that.

There's a few streamers I watch that I have donated to. Nothing ridiculous like $500. I do it because I want them to have the means to continue producing content. Its also just the proper thing to do if you've been watching someone's videos every week for a year.

Ya, i was thinking of something like that to do in the future. Its like a game yaknow, its like Graal, if you're good at begging in Graal you can be good in begging IRL

Worth noting not everyday will be like this and she does not have a constant salary like this.

This may seem like a decent life (in some cases like PewdiePie it is) but the honest truth is pursuing a real career is more beneficial (there a few big earners but a lot aren't).

It is a pretty neat way to be paid while gaming (also noting a lot of people donate then take the money back) but it isn't going to last forever.

You are going to need a job that has a decent constant salary, provides benefits, and can help you with getting a pension so when you are old you don't need to work for income and eventually her stream will die down and she won't have any of this, she may be enjoying it now but this isn't something that will benefit her future.

Also don't understand why everyone is so hateful to people like her, be edgy and jealous all you want but she found a very good way to earn money and is utilizing it efficiently.

True, pewdiepie can't be streaming at 60. at that point he will have lost touch with the newer generation then and he will not be watched anymore.
Making money off of youtube or twitch should be more of a sidejob to pay for your expenses such as schooling and rent.

donating is a hassle they should just make their money off of ad revenue because if you don't want to put in your credit card info on the site.

If Pewdiepie quit now, he would have enough money to live for his lifetime (If he moves into a average home or an already bought out home)  

I should start streaming good stuff, shouldn't I. Damn.

Easily too, he wouldn't even need to be frugal about it. I've seen a few youtubers with a several million less subs buying cars worth ~300k (more than a nice house in most parts of the US) while still being able to live comfortably.  

ya twitch cam *****s are a thing

should see how much sharishaxd is raking in tho. she doesnt show **** in limpy outfits but her stream is a ****fest of russians donating thx to very low minimum donations.
