minus-squareRiQuY@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·2 months agoI streamed for like a year and a half+ and I only managed to reach the 50$ treshold to cash out 2 times, so yeah, it’s very rough.
minus-squareSabata@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-22 months agoI streamed for 2 years and I got 5 viewers at once that one time my friend raided me. I’m not fit for human consumption.
minus-squareRiQuY@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoMy average was between 2 and 3 viewers.

Those that want to make a job out of it tend to spread out the content creation to youtube and tiktok, and often sponsorships fill in the gaps. The ones that actually make a decent living only from streaming are a fraction of one percent.
