| BasilZero said: Its amazing how they make money. $4.99 for subscriptions - that is crazy ~_~. Even youtube has started doing something similar. |
Subscriptions are part of it. Twitch takes 30-40 % of those $5. Most of the big money streamers make come from donations. My experience mostly comes from watching Hearthstone. Some of the bigger streamers easily make couple of hundred bucks in an hour or two. Some of the biggest donations span 1000's of dollars. One streamer in particular i remember, getting a donation of about $22,000.
Yea, pretty crazy.
