> The thing with Twitch streaming is that you can do it from almost anywhere. So, $50k is maybe a bit high for a living wage. The thing is the power law curve is so strong that if we take the top ten thousand which sets a living wage at approximately $11.5k which is definitely not a living wage in a lot of places people stream from then that only improves things to the top 0.04% (of those trying to make it). > Plus, Twitch is probably just one source of income for many content creators. For many it's not their primary source, but just a side source. YouTube, Patreon, OnlyFans, outside sponsors, or even esports may be where they make most of their money. If you read the original comment the gross amount supposedly includes 3rd party revenue.
