Even if it's 10x that, and one has 10k viewers, $100 is about one or two hours of work at a FAANG. And there's no health care coverage or free lunch for streame

- cameronbrown 7y agoBear in mind that most viewers will see multiple ads during the stream, so 10k viewers could be more like 30k impressions. Well I wasn't necessarily thinking this was being compared to a full time job, just that a channel could be self supporting, but there are ways to get close: A strong supplement to ads is direct donations/subscriptions. If you've ever seen a YouTube/Twitch chat, people send a LOT of money that way and get their message highlighted/usually responded to for their money. It's not uncommon to see mid-tier YouTubers make hundreds in one stream but its probably the exception and not the rule.
