Viable technically yes. Someone I’ve been following for a few years was a under 1k viewers on Twitch with a decent but niche YouTube audience when he went full time and now he’s doing very well & building a house with money earned almost entirely on Twitch.
On the other hand my ex girlfriend did it full time but couldn’t get partnered and ultimately made less than minimum wage anyways, she just didn’t want to actually work.
For the vast majority of people it’s actually worse than both of these examples and you shouldn’t even attempt it full time unless you are already approaching the level of income from it you need while you still have a job.
I recommend starting with YouTube as a hobby if you’re interested though — discoverability on Twitch is terrible and you’re going to have a hard time even hitting a monthly payout there without something like a YouTube presence that can drive traffic to your channel.
Also I feel like I might get some negative reaction to saying this BUT it is much easier to monetize on Twitch at the low end as a woman even without sexualizing your content. They simply have an easier time getting viewers and higher revenue per viewer on the low to mid end of things. Of course they also have to deal with a lot of really creepy harassment & they’re underrepresented in the top 0.1% or so as well so it’s not like this is strictly an advantage. But statistically speaking you’d have better odds of it being worth your time.
