The revenue only contains a few data points (below), things like TTS donations, 3rd party revenues like OnlyFans, Patreon, Amazon Gifts and sponsorship deals are not included. Amouranth makes insane amounts from her OF alone (an estimate of 1 million $ per month based on an interview with investmenttalk). Odds are that she makes far more than him, same with a lot of other female streamers who know how to monetize themselves. Obviously the same (Patreon, sponsorships...) applies to male streamers but to a lesser extent. 'ad_share_gross', 'sub_share_gross', 'bits_share_gross', 'bits_developer_share_gross', 'bits_extension_share_gross', 'prime_sub_share_gross', 'bit_share_ad_gross', 'fuel_rev_gross', 'bb_rev_gross'

Oh yeah of course, twitch is probably a minority of her earnings. But what I think is more interesting is that Twitch's moves to make it easy for advertisers to opt out of streamers like her doesn't seem to have hurt her earnings all that much if she's still that high. Ofc it could be that ad revenue went down but sub revenue was way higher, which, again, is telling. Also could be that ad buyers didn't blink and continued paying for the hot tubs category. I think it points to a more plausible future for softcore streaming - there might be a market for stuff that's less explicit than camgirls, especially if that makes it easier for kids to access it. (I don't condone this, just think it's interesting.)

  Prices for ads is very poor on twitch. The claim was that amouranth made "just" some ten thousand income with ads, which considering how many viewers she has is not that high. The majority of direct income on twitch comes from donations and subs. The bigger income comes indirectly from placements and cooperations outside of twitch, which of course are not part of the leak. Twitch is not YouTube. For some reason they had for a long time big problems to get their ad-business running, especially outside the USA. It seems because of this the payment is low for streamers.
