Same here. I can't imagine how pathetic you'd have to be to "support" millionaire streamers with your $5 a month just to feel part of an imaginary community. And I bet plenty of people tell themselves "a-at least I'm not poor" to justify it

Doesn't twitch prime only give you one subscription though?
Prime subscriptions are stupidly designed too. I have a year left of prime, why can I only subscribe a month at a time with no option to auto-renew?

They really are millionaires, or close to it. They just don't seem like it. Lirik probably gets like $500 worth of donations every day, added on with his subs, and sponsors.
Even decent streamers get at least $100 worth of donations a day, plus the sponsors and sub count.

You're talking about 0.000001% of all streamers as if they're the norm
If you're pulling $100 of donations a day you're already far, FAR beyond the top 1% of twitch streamers. Almost everybody makes a few bucks or nothing from their channel.

I follow someone just like that. Usually gets around 300-600 viewers, and he lives in his moms basement. But he still has a ton of subs, and gets a donation every few minutes.
That's still decent enough money to be considered better then a minimum wage job. Some of these streamers just don't move out, even if they are making good enough money. Probably saving it?

I've seen the same. Guy never gets more than 1000 viewers yet somehow has almost 1000 subscribers. That's around $2500 a month without taking donations into account. Even if you barely get $1000 a month that's still enough passive income to live the NEET dream.

LIRIK's brother so possibly just an exception to the norm. His brothers fame doesn't seem to actually bring much benefit though as it's rarely ever revealed. Realistically he probably only has around 800-900 concurrent subscribers but he still only tops around 700-800 viewers most of the time.

I guess it's the new form of television for some people? Except they hope they become friends with the streamer? Not sure why someone would pay them. Sad really.

>>385635926
They think they'll grow closer to the streamer if they throw money at them
The best they will ever get is a brief acknowledgement during the donation or subscription holler and the streamer will go back to playing their video games

As they get more subs, twitch negotiates better rates than a 50/50 split. Some of the top streamers can get $4 for every sub.

is it because of summer? normally i'd get 2 or 3

Every single big time streamer pretty much. They call their twitch chat idiots, retards, and losers every day. Then the chat just laughs it off like "lol your so right."

>>385643271
Came upon him one day. Was watching him for 10mins, then someone mentioned that they played Overwatch on consoles. He then went on an autistic rant about "reee PC is so amazing, fuck you!"
So I never went back. He also played random sounds and music at random times. Not sure how anyone watches that shit.

>>385642586
If I jerk off like 3-4 times in the morning, the chafing is a bit of an issue if I want to jerk off later. I could probably still do it, but you risk friction burns at that point, and those take days to heal.

The only time I've had issues the next day is when I've really overdone it and ripped the skin.

I used to watch a ton of twitch but it got really fucking boring after a while.

Streaming fotm games or mobas every day just to make money must really eat at your soul. I don't envy the smaller streamers

what do you look for in a stream?

what would make you follow the stream?

>>385643661
Why not, really? They're supporting us with entertainment, so what's wrong with giving them something back if you enjoy the content? $5 a month is also very little if you have any kind of income.

>>385643705
You're small time. I masturbated like 8 hours once on amphetamine until my dick swole to 4 times it's size, but only the tip.

>>385643758
Yea there's lots of really good smaller streamers. The big shot streamers generally get very old after a while.

I watch a guy who mostly plays 90's JRPGs and dark souls and he's hilarious.

Smaller streamers also have way less cancer in their chat rooms, so that's nice too. It's much more comfy.

There isn't one good reason to donate or support these people.

I watch Lirik alot, he plays alot of random games and isn't that monotonous usually, but of recent hes just played like 5 games consistently.

What i don't get is those streamers who exclusively play one game and maintain sanity, holy crap i would of given up ages ago, I recall some league streamer who said he just did it for the money at the point he was at, and all his followers would leave in a heartbeat if he played anything non-league.

you always see these e-celebs/streamers say how thankful they are for having fans and how many viewers/subs they have but its all BS, unless you're going out of your way to pay them via donations or through Patreon you're just an arbitrary number on a view count and thats why I will never throw money at these kind of people

Not sure if these people have 20k subs, but probably close to it. Cohhcarnage, JoshOG, Maximillian_Dood, MoonMoon, Nightblue, and GiantWaffle.
Those are the ones I know that have a ton of views, and probably have at least 10k+ subs.
>how do you know this?
When you watch even 1 of them, you get to know some of the top ones. They'll come across them eventually, and you'll find out that they are popular as well. Out of that whole list, I only watch Cohh.

>>385645903
It would be way better if streamers just read their donations at the end of the stream, but I guess that depends on their audience size. Seeing some of these streamers getting constant donations is insane, but they're used to it so they don't even bat an eye.

This guy is such a moronic fat piece of ugly shit, I have no idea how or why he got as big as he did. I guess riding the dick of other big streamers goes a long ways.

Ive subbed to 4 different people, but they are relatively small channels, met some of them irl and chat to them regularly

i dont see the appeal of the bigger streamers, i prefer a smaller stream with like 50-200 viewers

all of them are good at video games too, thats the important thing. cant stand variety streamers
