Well this will be interesting. Been using Twitch for streaming, also on playstation.
Anything to worry about?
Damn I thought it was just 1 or 2 people making over a million.
Some crazy numbers on the leaked payouts (assuming they are accurate)... especially as these seemingly wouldn't include donations, merch sales or other sponsorships (source)
There is a searchable site here: https://www.twitchearnings.com
No, he said he doesn't make $10 million a year, he didn't deny making $2 million in the past 2 years, which is what the leak states.
CriticalRole is a company with 30+ staff, but because you've personally never heard of them, it probably isn't true? Most people have never heard of Larry Ellison, but he's one of the richest people on the planet. I don't know if the leaked numbers are real, but "I don't know who they are" isn't a good way to determine the truth.
Twitch has acknowledged the leak, there are several outlets that have the 125gb of data that have confirmed the figures are in the leak. Either the leaker included a fake data set in with the real data, or more likely... this data came from Twitch. The numbers are potentially gross, not taking into account Twitch's cut, about 10-20% for the larger streamers.
For the record, I also don't care that they make this much, it's well known that the top streamers and Youtubers make absolute bank, from monthly subs, ad revenue, donations, sponsorships etc.
I'd be surprised if they are far off for some of the creators with bigger reach. A girl I used to hang out with in my teens has her own onlyfans, etc. following and is making in not much more than a few days what I make in a year she pays more in quarterly taxes than most people earn in a year...
Shame that doesn't say ex-girlfriend. Gross
Are you a subscriber?
Meh, their body they can do what they want. Have to admit if I was female and in any way attractive I would be tempted.
It'll be interesting to see if it changes donation patterns to some stramers.
Best news to come after this is that silly armoanth women got banned from most platforms for some reason. Woohoo no more of her in my recommended to watch lists now.
