    If you want to make money playing any game, easy, get gud and win the twitch lottery (or be well known prior). Shroud has 26000 (yes twenty six THOUSAND) subscribers and even if you get 50 cents off each sub (last I heard a few years ago it was like 1.50-2 for your average streamer) just think of how much that is a month. That doesn't even include his preroll ad that he mentioned is another 20%

    It's also funny that you mention the Moose Mount (Blizzard will probably never do something like this again)
    ???
    They already had with the new Spellwing from Heroic Antorus the Unmaker.

    You live in a super low cost area (Indiana) according to your profile. So yeah, could do you do what you're doing on 17.5k? Everything literally costs about twice as much where I live, that's the point.

    As someone above said, cost of living matters a lot when talking about whether or not earnings are good. Boosting or gold farming is a lot higher multiple of the minimum wage in China than in America..

    Twitch gives you a cut based on what tier of streamer they consider you (mostly based on size and subs). It starts at 50-50 (i.e. you get $2.50 per sub) and then starts getting better and better. I've heard of 75-25 splits (i.e. streamer gets $4 and Twitch gets $1)

    Whoops, forgot about that. Still surprising to me that they would do it knowing how much Moose Mount got boosted, but maybe Blizzard is using it as bait to crack down.

    Yea, so someone with 10k-26k subs, they're making a damn bankroll. Think it was sloot who mentioned it YEARS ago how much you get off subs, they can't tell you anymore though, against policy.

    And now there's twitch prime subs and tiered subs.... Twitch prime subs alone probably increased subs across the board substantially

    This was informative, thanks. I guess this does skew the numbers higher than I thought they were. Maybe 50k is indeed achievable not just in special cases if you try hard.

    Seriously splitting hairs, but to be correct, that would be $3 (not $4) and $1
    (If out of $5 I guess is the sub it would be $3.75 and $1.25 )

    3.74 and 1.25 if we want to get REAL technical, twitch sub tier 1 is 4.99.

    People with that many subs are obviously quite rare though, but you make incredible money if you are that point.

    That depends, will you Join the Master, and help him with the Pantheon's Corruption? Would you watch and laugh as I unmake the Universe? Would you help us re-create the Universe, without Corruption, and without Chaos?

    Doesn't take 26k to make a living though, plenty of 500-1000 sub people out there who can at least pull enough to live comfortably, and those are the ones that run more ads so they make good ad revenue.

    Like most people I just want to watch the world burn, what you do with it after is up to you.

    It's also not their only form of income, a lot of countries have exploits to get some kind of payment from the government if you're a student or a young professional starting out. In Sweden for example you get paid if you're enrolled in uni, you don't even need to show up all the time, you just get that easily.

    Pretty sure that 'good ad revenue' does not exist. Way to much adblocking and completely garbage rates.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
