You don't buy viewers in order to get successful.How much does it cost to buy viewers, and what is the dollar per viewer payout? I may need to start a thing.
also I don’t know any names of these streamers but what are the hot tub streamers earning.
That is not the implication, but if you can buy them and get more money playing fake viewers ads than it cost to purchase than then you come out ahead.You don't buy viewers in order to get successful.
That would work if Twitch Ad revenue was actually worth anything. But twitch pays a pittance in ad revenue compared to YouTube.That is not the implication, but if you can buy them and get more money playing fake viewers ads than it cost to purchase than then you come out ahead.
If you are a janitor, secretary or HR person you are going to make the same average pay you make everywhere else. If you play a critical part in the products/services either managing product/team or working on features/improvements (i.e. developers) you make really good money. Software developers outside of gaming make really good money. Twitch developers make a lot of money.It must be weird being a staff member at twitch. Making pennies compared to the people you pay.
This post contradicts itself.Probably none, but the legal way.
To me this is really nothing surprising. Anywhere people gather millions, they will makes millions. Radio, TV, movies, webcam.. like why is everyone acting stupid?
Found the guy donating 700k.There are people who get paid millions to play dumb comic superheroes, dribble/kick ball and people are shocked, angry about this? How's this more crazy than people worshipping, wetting their pants in front of a screen over Avengers and then talk about it on Twitter like everything in the movie is real life: "OMG, did you see how Captein America looked at Black Widow!? I hope they'll bang. They are my favorite heroes!"
Exactly people like Nicholas Cage who got the roles because of his famous uncle I think it was.But it’s in every business like that every school cinema and so on.If you have connections you get the place reserved first.Sorry but this is just not true. There are millions of artists/entertaines out there with great talent who with never reach the top because they don't have any connection, ability for initial investment, or no accessibility in getting those things, no oportunieitioes. There are plenty of people 'at the top' with no talent but are rich kids, or had connections, maybe some luck.
Thinking you get the the top by just being good and working hard is laughably untrue and unrealistic. 99% of people 'at the top' where born with the door open
Well actually....You don't buy viewers in order to get successful.

Unless they have a good accountantare these earnings taxed as income?
Hate to tell ya but scientists turn to them too to keep themself entertainedGreat representation of how utterly fucked humanity is when we are economically rewarding people playing videogames and screaming more than we fund scientists doing research on how we can save ourselves from ourselves.
This money is a lot tricker to hide. And it's very expensive to hide money so it's probably not worth it for them. For a lot of these streamers without external deals, this is also their main income so they probably not hiding it off somewhere. Without a big corporation with a lot of things going on and just Twitch being the one paying them. They don't have the same flexibility as other tax evaders.Unless they have a good accountant
Offshore havens and hidden riches of world leaders and billionaires exposed in unprecedented leak - ICIJ
The Pandora Papers reveal the inner workings of a shadow economy that benefits the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of everyone else.www.icij.org
True nobody is gonna donate to someone who clearly looks like a multi-millionaire... but they actually do.To be fair, that could just be smart business. Play the hobo character on camera, build your mansion away from the cameras.
I wasn't rich growing up but I would have at least had a PC and maybe a webcam and a microphone (they are not expensive thing).Pewdiepie was a rich kid, go read his bio. His mom was an information officer, dad a business executive, and grandparent owned an art gallery. He was able to invest in tech from high school buying himself computers.
This is what I mean by 'initial investment' , if you legitimately have nothing to start with, you can't build anything that would make money, that's the trap. The rag to riches stuff your sold is never true
Also, being rich sort of allows you to be more lucky, as you can try more things without ever having to worry if you fail. 'If try YouTube and fail no big deal, my money can pay for my next thing I try' whereas somebody without anything can't take any risks.
Anyone have a working link of the leak. All the links seem to have died.
Not really, we all know once you earn a large amount the banks will step in and offer you "alternatives" to store your money. Shit that's why most large companies don't pay tax.This post contradicts itself.
WTF those numbers can't be right!
Streamers are making that much?
If so, damn there are lot of simps out there!

In all fairness, in twitch, you might as well do it but you might get caught.You don't buy viewers in order to get successful.
