Is Twitch any better than Youtube for the creators though? It has the same distribution of top 100 performers who make amazing- to decent- day job salaries and then the other 99.5% are left fighting for scraps. I've watched a few guys do it for years without seeing any growth and grow more disillusioned by the month until it's just a self fulfilling prophecy that no one wants to watch them wallow at this point. They were in the top players of their games too (maybe 95th percentile) but just didn't have the entertainment part down.

My impression at least is that the tail is a bit longer and descends less steeply on Twitch. It seems possible to have a solid middle class income through Twitch as long as you keep on the treadmill. But it also seems awfully precarious. It also seems to be becoming more intertwined with YouTube and using the latter for discovery of the former so who knows which way it’s going.
