Try live streaming. Because the audience is mostly male, females have a lot more viewers on average. Especially if they add innuendo.

But all the biggest streamers are dudes? Like it’s not even close. You don’t hit a woman until #74. There’s definitely a market for PG-13 sex work in streaming and the most popular woman on Twitch is one of them but it’s definitely not more average viewers. She gets less than half the average viewers of the streamers close to her size, where she makes it up is that the people who do watch her watch her a lot.

  Is that also considering hours streamed? I don't know how twitch works, but from what I can tell on the public video list, the top female streamer had like 100 hours streamed in the past 60 days, while the top male streamer did that much in the past week (don't ask me how ... is it a collective? multiple 23/24 hours streams?). With 10x the streamed content, 7x the consumed content doesn't feel too crazy. The next male streamer has a similar profile, also doing pretty much daily streams. But maybe amouranth just deletes the videos after they're streamed? Again, I don't know how Twitch works.

  I was talking about the average on average. IRL twitch streams, Jinny 6k viewers, CookSux 2-3k viewers, jaystreazy 2k viewers, robcdee 4k viewers. Bonnierabbit does one stream every now and then 10k. Amouranth literally does nothing, streams from home and lately "dating" streams, 7k low 16k usually. Japandyjones now that he's in Tokyo 1.5k viewers. Jakenbake in Tokyo 6k. If you're a woman in a mostly younger male audience platform you get the viewers. All you need is an attractive body and a nice dress. Ibabyrainbow 21 year old wearing braces showing off her body 1.5k viewers. I'm not into ASMR but holy crap licking microphones for "the ASMR" where the girls are dressed in tight dresses with perfect make up, where you can guess that the microphone is really a penis replacement. 100% female domain. How many want to see a guy licking a microphone? 5% most likely with the odd spike for curiosity. I'm saying on average the females have it easier to attract viewers, that is also the traditional female field. You don't have to provide content, your body is content. Idk if you have noticed that women mostly like to film themselves on stream because they know that the males watch them for their looks. Male cameras are mostly turned away from them filming their surroundings. As a male streamer you need special equipment, at least so they think, so you can stream in 1920×1080 with redundant modem and sim card setup, while female streamers don't bother with the weight and just use a 720p smartphone. There are of course always exceptions and I don't claim to be an expert. I've only been watching this field since this summer and those are my observations

The thing is, the males that succeed are like super, super talented - i suspect, much more so than their female counterpart, because otherwise, they cannot compete.

  KaiCenat the guy is 21 and literally every time he let's music play it's overdriven. He checks out tiktok profiles and plays popular games trolling all the time in a semi funny stereotypical black way on voice chat. I guess you either do or don't need talent for that. That guy has over 85k subscribers. 85000×2.5=212500 so about 200 grand a month.
