I mean they're getting paid to play games and scream into a mic

I don't even know how much money they make to begin with

So Twitch and Amazon should decide how much their partners should be earning?

Streaming isn't a real job

Actually some of the streamers are partnered with Twitch, so that makes it a real job.

I don't think you should rely on it as your only stable source of income. I mean, a lot of people out there seem to be sorted for life but how many people tried and failed and had to resort to doing something else? There are so many damn streamers out there how much time can you really spend watching people play games?

How much do they make?

THEY GET PAID!?

via donations

well do they Make money for twitch through ad revenue? If so they get a cut. I'm with door on this one, streaming isn't a real job

Why not?

What's a "real job" then?

Streaming is just as much of a "real job" as any other job.

Yeah, I should be paid for every post I make on Sep7agon. It'd be as real a job as any other

a 'real job' according to these troglodytes who live in the 40's is something that involves doing either some really mundane shit for minimum wage, or watching other people do mundane shit while managing paperwork and inventory.

How much do they make?

depends on the streamer/their popularity. if i decided to stop going to school and stream full time i would probably make $0/year. however, guys like imaqtpie can make upwards of 6 digits per year due to sponsorships+donations+twitch partnership because of their popularity. if you can establish and maintain a solid base of "customers"/viewers, you can rake in a solid bit of cash. but the chances of that are even lower than going pro in a video game.

you're retarded if you think that all streamers do is play games, they're running a business, selling their brand of stream like any other actor on the market that is streaming, the only difference is the shows they play in and the ways they act. saying that streamers don't have a 'real job' is like saying that Clint Eastwood, or Samuel L Jackson don't have real jobs because all they're doing is sitting in front of a camera and doing things.

LOL you're retarded, streaming yourself playing a video game isn't a real job. There's likely a reason those losers don't have actual jobs, probably because they suck at life.
