streaming is a short-term career, but it's very profitable. | ||

I'd say streaming is a lot like stripping. highly lucrative but you can't do it forever, so cash in, save/invest/grow and move on when your time is up. If these streams try to live a 300k/yr lifestyle, I think they'd be in big trouble in a couple of years. If they save and invest properly, they could be more or less setup for life. | ||

Pretty sure it's only Amaz that consistently pulls more viewers than him in topdeckmoba. dig around and find out how much datguylirik makes, it will make your head explode. I think hes the #1 twitch guy overall and has a healthy youtube channel as well. | ||

that's $437.5 a day just from subs and then you count all the donations he easily makes like $650+ a day, and that's just an average day when the kids go nuts and do some subtrain/donation train i can easily see a streamer breaking $1500+ a day ez granted we don't see this as much with dota 2 cause for some reason our streaming community doesn't conform to the rest of twitch which i'm actually happy about, but there's also less consistent streamers. | ||

I just mean you can't take literally one of the top streamers out there and be like omg why didn't I stream forsen so rich~ without looking at the thousands of other people that have tried exactly that and failed lol It's just like wondering why you didn't become a pro-gamer because you could win TI, or didn't start a startup because you coulda been instagram or whatever | ||

like obviously league is more popular in general but on average it seems like there are *way* more decent league streams on at any given time than dota, well beyond the fact that the game is just more popular | ||

Of course black is still on the higher echelon of twitch streamers overall even if hes not Trump/Forsen/Lirik/Kripp level, but it still highlights you can make serious money even if you aren't a top 10 streamer. | ||
