I was under the impression that Twitch streamers were able to be directly tipped by viewers (as opposed to being paid by the view or something by some centralized payment distribution point) and so while there would of course be a correlation on viewers to income, the variance is going to be high... some people are going to be much better at monetizing their user base than others, and I would at least expect the streamer's charm, business model, and audience targeting to swamp a mere 2x difference in viewers.
