I'd also venture to guess (no hard numbers) that most successful streamers -- measured as "they don't need a day job" -- started streaming as a hobby. Such a person is much more likely to be willing to spend a few dollars a month, especially considering they'll likely already have purchased a microphone and webcam. That being said, maybe it's better for it to be free considering the people paying for such a hobby would be among this "massive pipeline of kids dreaming to be stars".
