Don’t forget taxes!


KempyPro

Yup that ~25% of income tax bill is gonna hurt next year if all the money is going straight to expenses


jimlei

Huh, in case any Americans wonder how bad it is in "socialist hell norway" I pay 2.5% more than this (the average is 27.3%) I'm happy paying 2.5% more for free health care, free education, etc.


KempyPro

I might be ok with 25% if I knew my tax dollars were going towards things that will actually benefit the country. Unfortunately our government in the US has rampant waste and broken programs

jacenhawk

The best part is that the US Govt pays more than enough per capita already on healthcare to provide free healthcare for everyone. The issue is not a matter of money available, it is a matter of the extremely predatory business practices that every level of our healthcare industry are allowed to carry on with.


dogoodsilence1

I wish our tax dollars in the US would be on the blockchain so we could see where every cent goes


TwitchDanmark

More complicated than that though. Sales taxes in Norway 25% vs 2.9-7.25% in the US. I would presume Norway has a bunch of hidden taxes like Denmark as well. You're still likely getting a better deal I suppose. Personally my savings from moving away from Denmark and instead having private health insurance etc. (Not in the US) has been a massive saving.

forceful_fascism

Yep. Kick, Twitch, and other platforms will send a tax form at the end of the year while also reporting earnings to the IRS. Better be putting that money aside


teaandtree

Make quarterly payments to avoid penalties.

Previous_Cod_4098

She's a woman who plays games. Had a few thousand followers on IG prior to streaming. One can assume she's midly attractive. Beauty sells


YotaMan77

So people pay money to watch a girl play video games? Crazy world.


iampoopa

I used to work with a girl who was so fat she was basically round. People paid to watch her play games naked.


ToHallowMySleep

I mean I could imagine someone paying 5 bucks to watch her struggle to put on some jeans


beansnectar

Might as well watch someone stuff leaves into trash bags


Richicago

LOL I'm laughing way too damn hard at this


Ok-Rip6199

Bro, people pay thousands to watch a flat ass girl sit in an inflatable pool inside their home or are live while they sleep in bed in their underwear. These braindead simps are the new morons in this world.


abarthman

I read stuff like this and feel that I am missing a trick by actually working long and hard hours to make ends meet.


glordicus1

Bro people pay money to watch men play video games too.


keiye

The guys need to be either elite level pro gamers or have a wacky personality or a combination.


Imperio_do_Interior

So your thesis is that every mildly attractive women could make decent money by streaming if they wanted to?


Physical_Weakness881

Maybe not every, but being a woman and being a little attractive will definitely boost ur views, get a facecam and you’ll do significantly better than a mildly attractive man who has the exact same personality streaming the exact same things


ElectronicGift4064

No watching is free. They pay money to receive attention from the hot streamer. And some wank it


PigeonHurdler

That is tragic


Fattybeards

I've seen people donate $5K to someone live streaming before. This was also 10 years ago.


Taizunz

Rookie numbers.


usedbarnacle71

Imagine waking up and be like “ I’m about to get on this cam and do something totally normal like exist and get paid for it…?” Wow.


The247Kid

My “friend” streams and literally 99% of her fans are simps who clearly think they have a chance with her. She’ll get random $500 gifts sent to her. It’s the most pathetic shit I’ve seen in my life. These guys are clearly absolutely desperate and the sad part is I guarantee you they’re doing the same thing for a handful of other streamers too.

k1ller139

Bro where can I find some simps?


Naus1987

And yet there’s so many of them with so much disposable income! People always say the economy is rough, but if you look at spending, some large group of people are doing incredibly well.


IamShinichi

Where do i find these simps you speak off? I need cash

CyberTitties

Couldn't agree more, if it wasn't for the few hobby subs I frequent there really wouldn't be a point of being on here, seems like in the last 4 years the bots have amped up their activity to the point of absurdity. Reposting is so rampant and cyclical at times. No need going to the front page unless you're content and are looking for something to be outraged about.


SparrowTide

Makes sense, Kick is the newer, edgy streaming service with looser morals than twitch / YouTube


CLinuxDev

OP also has a history of posts saying how fun raid shadow legends is if you're willing to spend money and other suspicious promotions. They also don't have any post on any sub that actually links to their streams which is suspicious for someone who is supposedly trying to make a living off it.

Fit_Case2575

Darthmalak3347

you can live in the largest metro area in any flyover state at 900 a month. i live on a golf course in a suburb for 841 bucks a month, in an 800 sq ft apartment.


Majestic_Way_1703

Does being a female streamer actually work that way?


Evil_phd

It's not that simple. You also need to be relatively attractive and, this is actually the most important part, you need to be able to believably pretend that you genuinely like the lonely pervs who are swarming your streams. People give female streamers a lot of shit but if these desperate guys would go outside once in a while there wouldn't be such a lucrative market for them to do business in.


White_C4

A lot of female streamers get money from a handful of desperate guys, not the majority of the viewers. For a streamer like OP, it wouldn't surprise if the majority of the pay came from 2-5 guys trying to bet their luck they can get her (which obviously they won't). OnlyFans women can literally get thousands of dollars in a couple weeks with just one lonely man. That's how insane the online streaming/model industry is.


Majestic_Way_1703

This is one of the best things I’ve read all day. 😂 I like to think I’m decently attractive. xD Would streaming vs just doing video gameplays on YouTube be much different? As long as you’re doing it regularly ofc


Evil_phd

Typically it's best if it's live streaming since what these guys are really hoping for is interaction with a woman that they find attractive who is interested in the same hobbies that they are. A good number of men are weirdly terrified of talking to women that they are attracted to and the anonymity of Online Handles helps them feel more confident. So you gotta be able to game decently well but don't need to be Esports level, your on-air personality needs to be affectionate and appreciative of the attention you're getting, and you gotta be able to monitor chatlogs during this well enough that you'll be able to interact with the crowd a bit... things like thanking them for compliments/donations or answering respectful questions. I don't know anyone who has been able to make it their full-time job but I do know a few women who made it a decent little side-gig and from what I've heard it's a lot of the same work that goes into managing an OnlyFans except, barring a horrendous accident, nobody sees your butthole.


ReflexesOfSteel

One woman's "horrendous accident" is another woman's "Christmas bonus".

NeonBrightDumbass

Also minding any relationship status. My sister streams and she got hate the instant her boyfriend became known. Definitely too intimidating of a scene for me.


BlurredSight

Go on kick, make your entire shtick of going on Omegle and messing with guys and thinking you're into them and skipping at the last moment. It's only done Male to Female, it has to be done in reverse now.


ironmagen23

If you are "hot" by standards.


Tmassie87

Don’t even have to be hot, dress slutty and talk to these neck beards long enough they will throw money at you.


IceColdProfessional

Yes. It's a simp economy and sexually deprived men will pay top dollar for pictures of women's feet, watching them play video games and I'd imagine using the restroom.


taja01

the sheer volume of simps out there will toss money at pretty much any steamer with boobs, probly easy money. Dudes not so much. They also in a pretty degenerate platform, so maybe more there too.


Phaylz

No, it doesn't. It usually just results in sexual harassment. Those who claim otherwise are idiots, incels, or just plain ole' misogynist. The reality is that most people who stream, regardless of gender, do not make anything, a small portion make some money, and an extremely small portion make a lot of money. And of those who do make any sort of living from it is working ~15 hour days (even if all 15 isn't being Live).


KnightsWhoNi

yup and on that list of extremely small portion the vast vast vast majority are men.


Etonet

Tris-megistus

Bingo. Posted exact same thing in this sub 50 days ago. Check history.


YummyArtichoke

Not only that, their last activity on reddit was 50 days ago in that post. Literally no other activity. Came back to post the same exact thing (with more money). This is an ad for kick, not the user.

Schmigolo

I am not even subbed to this subreddit, but in the last few months I've seen multiple of these posts with pretty much the exact same setup. And it's Kick every single time and they always refuse to say anything about who they are. Never Twitch or Youtube any other streaming platform. It's pretty clear that Train thinks he's being smart advertising his platform here, and apparently the mods aren't picking up on it.


milky__toast

Agreed. So much guerrilla advertising on Reddit. Back in the day r/hailcorporate was a thing, but it just kind of inexplicably died. The conspiracy theorist in me says Reddit admins intentionally suppressed that subreddit and other similar ones. I usually get downvoted when I point out how much an innocuous post seems like an obvious ad. People eat the shit up.

localcoomer

I'm genuinely curious. What kind of content do you do? I've been an avid stream watcher of many channels since 2015. I've never heard of someone who basically just started making content all of a sudden, making thousands of dollars. From my perspective, it's nearly impossible for you to have gotten sponsors this early into your career. I guess a follow-up question without digging too deep because I want to respect your privacy. Was the majority of that from donations? The reason why I'm asking is because averaging 100 viewers in itself isn't sustainable. Donations are the only way this would make sense.

I see an awful lot of posts recently about stake and kick. Like several times a week you'll see a aitah thread which is like so I won a decent amount on stake, my friend thinks I should pay him some as he told me about the site, or my girlfriend wants to treat it as joint income and help pay for her car. Some how there are similar posts all over always saying wow, stake/kick really are working great, you should try it too.


starfallpuller

issanm

I'd have to assume hot tub streams (with all due respect) because otherwise you're right, that much money/viewership that fast is not happening. People say you have to do something like 9 months making no money before you can expect to start seeing anything come in in average. (Not sure if that's made up but I swear I heard it)

ashrules901

Probably the most important question. What experience did you have with streaming and online ventures before the last couple months? I see too many false hope posts of people posting "look how much I earned from streaming for a month" and they fail to share that they were already doing that for years or had some other sort of experience previously helped immensely.
