"Twitch Streamers" encompass a range of 0 viewers to 400k concurrent viewers. Some of the biggest streamers sometimes get more viewers than prime time TV shows.

Clickbait title?

Pass

Would it be too painful to realize that the next generation of gamers who only play casual triple A games and don’t even have any real skill make a shit ton of money while you playing real games back from the area having real skill but go to work and are forgotten by the modern gaming community?

I say Godbless em, money doesn't bring happiness only security.

You sure did want to keep your munney when i asked for a Doom 2016 gift on steam.

That's because you haven't earned it, nobody gets a free lunch unless you're an attractive woman.

its a popularity contest

the whole world is

only fans make more

That video only talks about the few superstars with 10000 plus spectators. People we already knew were swimming in moneys, nothing new.

But what about the legions of teenagers and 30-something neckbeards wasting their lives trying to "make it big" on twitch and youtube as "content creators" and streamers?

That's a phenomenon that will show its ugly face some years from now. There's too many young people that are growing up with their only source of entertainment, media and even social interaction in the form of a stream chat. And see the "stremer" as their dream job. But only one in a thousand can make it big. It's about as naive as trying to be a professional player today. The competition is enormous, the spots on the pedestal limited. One in a 1000 can make it somehow, barely sustaining him/herself.

All the others will rip their hairs because they can't be the new "shroud" and "lirik", go into depression and become shut in basement dwellers.

It isn't nice to talk about Jason Blaha that way wait he's 43

if u r already famous as a progamer you can extend your stream of income ...
the only other option being u r a girl with good looks ... :-)
... if u dont fit into these two categories (which take lik 99 % of the streaming), you need to be able to entertain people somehow and obviously need to play slower games where u can tell a story ...
good luck making it in that niche!

You don't even really need to be good looking if you're female, lots of very average butterfaces making a living talking about nothing or raging at Animal Crossing and pokemon games while sweaty cross eyed mouth breathers throw their last savings at the screen

twitch streamers make money from adverts, partnerships or contracts, they are 0 type influence if you get banned you are screwed. no one gets money for free if that what you mean, i streamed for 1 year straight and there was so much headache that i would rather die from starvation than continue on this career.

I imagine streaming as profession to be somewhat lonely ... probably thats why some streamers live in gaming houses, at least shroud seems to do that ...

No streamer that i know of reguarly streams more than 8 hours a day; i'd say most of them don't even stream more than 5 hours per day, considering there's also no traveling back and forth from work place, it's only a lonely profession if you make it so, since you have way more free time than the usual real life worker.

There's certainly streamers who at least go on long periods of streaming more than 8, and in the end many do report being lonely. Perhaps it's less so the online work and social media being soulless as opposed to not being able to meet friends after or whatever, but various mental issues related to loneliness are pretty common among them.

There's a small part of streamers that do that, sure. But of the successfull ones i can't recall any. Not only the average successfull streamer streams less hours on average than the average worker works, but they also all seem connected and extremely social, at least the popular ones.

Hmm, that's not what I remember from learning about them, I can think of trihex and some of those uhh scantily clad girls that seemed to be working crazy hours at least for the periods I found out about their schedules. I also think the starcraft streamer destiny has talked about his sociopath larping shit where he explains how he's able to just stream relentlessly many hours, I doubt that he keeps up with that nowadays though. You might be right overall, idk!

Regarding connections, it seems like at least the ones I heard talking about that they still find it too online, too superficial or otherwise not enough as human contact, causing them to suffer depression or whatever. At the same time, that might just be the subsection I saw, I have no good overview, and I definitely agree that they're interconnected and help each other out by way of crospromoting (just hanging out on stream alone does that) and this creates a huge advatage over others. It's kind of a when you started and who you know business.

twitch doesn’t ban people for showing pussy or tits when they do it on (accident) see any livestreamfails nsfw

Even if you are small streamer?
Biggest whores have different set of rules applied to them.

the guy that shows her tits and sells her underwear isnt that big of a streamer. She just always makes "accidents" live on stream. Botting is the only thing that gets you banned I guess, if they can prove you did it.

Wow, I am pretty impressed.

Stfu Danstar!

saw this guy once in a stream of a famouse chess streamer ... he didn't seem happy to me ... prolly was also pretty isolated in his apartment ... should also be hint that the craze of home office in times of corona is going to make a lot of things worse

Lately imo it's been all about entertainment rather than playing the actual game so people just do anything for moeny. Well lately it's been like this for a few years now tbh
