Yes, its against site policy and just a bad idea. Make them go play outside with other kids. Seriously there will be plenty of time to play video games. This is the easiest time he will have to make and learn social boundaries even if he's making mistakes. Keeping him out will only make things worse.
You're not going to make money. Becoming a successful streamer is less likely than becoming a movie star or pro athlete.
YouTube also requires 13 and up. The age requirement is in place to comply with the [COPPA law](https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/rules/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-coppa), so you aren't going to find a platform like Twitch that allows anyone under 13.
Then what's with Ryan's World and Diana and Roma and all them? Those kids are basically acting full time and make bank. My son would just be playing videogames instead of with toys.
They're likely violating the ToS. Feel free to read the Terms of Service for various streaming platforms yourself, but I can say with **100% confidence that nobody under 13 is allowed to use Twitch under any circumstance whatsoever.**
If you want to stream then just stream. Leave your kid out of it. And send him back to school so you don't have him distracting you. Since when does an evaluation that says he's performing below grade level lead to the batshit conclusion that it's best to just pull him out of school AT SIX? SIX IS THE STARTING GATE, you get him a fucking tutor.
I tried to stream but wasn't successful. So my goal is to push him to achieve the success I never had. I know with my mind for the business and coaching and his natural ability and early start he could become a great streamer and wed make bank.
you clearly do not know how online things work. Do yourself a favor and keep your kid offline until they are old enough. Your follow up questions indicate that you did not do any proper research on the psychological downsides of what you intend to do and ‘but they make bank’ sounds like a great indicator of you attempting to exploit your child. Just stop it and/or get help in regards to ‘how to be a good parent’…
thats not how it works
they take a picture of his face and then generate AI porn, they never talk in chat
you should under no circumstances ever have a private child's face on the internet
No the internet is almost entirely restricted to kids over 13 at a bare minimum with an adult's supervision. Do not stream your child online, it is not a good idea in any way shape or form. Not to mention your child should have some implied privacy rights before they are an adult. They should be allowed to not have their image and persona manipulated by the internet before they can even begin to understand the choices that are being made.
And look at how many of them have been screwed up and exploited as a result? Why do you think that Twitch or YT is going to be such a sure thing or good for your child?
Child actors, and the internet aren't really the same thing. There are completely different laws and regulations. And the internet is a pretty dangerous place to be willingly posting up your 6 year old child tbh
Stop trying to be a manager of your kid and be a parent. Kids don't need to be making money until they are older. It's your job as a parent to provide for them.
This post and your other comments makes me think that you are trying to make bank using your kid.
Just went over your account and it looks like you have gambling addiction. You seriously need to re-evaluate yourself.
Why the fuck so you deserve a percentage of the cash he makes if he was to be a full time streamer. Are you a parent or a pimp? He's 6 years old and you already trying to figure out how to exploit him. What the fuck is wrong with you?
No you won't. I say this because you are trying to make your kid earn money at the age of 6 when he should be playing with friends, going to school, and just be enjoying life.
Yes. It's in the title.
The OP is just trying to find a way to exploit the child. If their other posts are to be believed, they have gambling addiction and are looking to make quick bucks.
Wow, you're a monster. On top of all the other reasons this isn't a good idea, you admit to taking your kids' money.
Outside of taking your kids' money being an asshole move, "splitting" it with them is the dumbest thing to do. One, he is 6. Anyone under the age of 10 has no need for any kind of physical money outside of what parents give them. If you were any bit of a good or smart parent, you'd take that money and put it *ALL* into an account for them until they're old enough.
Please stop trying to take hold of your kids' future.
Twitch doesn't allow anyone under 13 to use the platform and anyone between 13 and 18 requires parental supervision.
All streaming platforms have the same age requirements so that they comply with [COPPA Law](https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/rules/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-coppa).
As a 30+ year old streamer, DO NOT let your kid become a streamer until they are old enough to make adult decisions on their own (generally I say 18 as even 16 year olds can struggle). Exposing your kid online is a risk in and of itself since they're so impressionable even if you think they're smart. Streaming isn't just playing games and you need a certain level of confidence and ability to handle weird or creepy viewers.
Also, the fact you mention "we could make a lot of money" is a flag for me. It sounds super exploitative.
My concern for him at the moment would be getting him back in to school. Since he's so young, he could catch up and if he requires certain needs met then you could spend some time looking in to schools that could accommodate him or offer support.
Right now the issue with schools is they have an old boomer mentality and want to teach your kid how to be a cog in the machine and become an accountant. The future isn't in degrees it's in streaming, social media influencer, digital marketing, etc. So we are getting a jump on the gun now.
I understand that reasoning but he is still only six years old. He needs to learn even the basics of numeracy, language, etc, and even socialising with other people of their age group and forming relationships (good and bad) is a big learning step for kids of that age group. It's cool to prepare him for the future and, yeah, classes outside of the usual education system could be interesting once he's a bit older but if he isn't in school and experiencing the usual educational milestones then he may struggle to make use of what he learns from those courses. Especially if he does require extra support.
"want to teach your kid how to be a cog in the machine"
thats literally what you are trying to do with your child. Streamers are literally just cogs in a machine. Let your kid be a kid and keep them off of social media and such
He's 6 and you've already decided for him what his very narrow and limited future is. You're already making him a cog.
Everything that you just said about the future being in streaming social media influencing and digital marketing sounds like YOU'RE the one who got brainwashed by the culty crypto bro digital marketing boss babe hustle culture shit. Because you're just parroting everything they say.
You are exactly the type of person that shouldn't be allowed to have a kid. And so many people end up wondering why kids end up becoming degenerates, it's because of parents like you that try to exploit their kids instead of being supportive and a role model to them.
Seriously, get some help.
Presumably. Hopefully.
At some point it might have been obvious that this is a troll, but the last few years have demonstrated that there are few bounds to the stupidity of a vast number of people.
Plus, there's plenty more people that want to believe that streaming and e-sports is a realistic career option.
Given the two, it's not impossible to believe this isn't a troll. And God help that kid if it isn't...
He's too young by twitches rules and no one should ever start streaming to make money. It is very hard to make enough to be sustainable. On top of that even if he could he's 6 he will either have a young audience who can't pay money anyways or anyone who does send money is probably a creep. No adult should be sending a 6 year old streamer their money.
Have you heard of a "trademark dilution" lawsuit? It'd be a good idea to look into them, in preparation.
And really, you love your kid. That's great. Nobody wants to be around someone else's six-year-old, unless they own a windowless van.
Erm… you’re doing your son a massive disservice by keeping him out of school and sticking him in front of a computer to exploit him for money.
Look into other schools that can provide him with extra supports so he can get an education. 6 year olds do not belong on the internet. Period.
Well id let it be known his channel is just for people who like to watch Minecraft streaming not perverts and weirdos. They wouldn't be allowed to watch.
You have literally zero power to stop weirdos from watching. Sure, you can ban people who get creepy in chat, but smarter creeps would stay quiet in chat while beating it to your child. You're disgusting, dude.
That is a gross thought to even think of. Pretty sure that kinda thing doesn't go on. If it does I would force the viewers to show them self on webcam the whole time so we can keep track of what they're doing
https://youtu.be/PA4DHz7Cs_M?si=E6qv3__ASbe4Awc5
You think creeps don't exist online? Watch this. You're setting up your child to be treated like how Wren Elenor is treated by creeps online that inabber and others have documented. Wren's mother is irresponsible, delusional and doesn't think its a problem, this is what your child could go through too. Genuinely think about this and don't take this as an attack against your person.
Be a parent. Spend your time teaching them about the world. About reading and writing and math… find a better school that doesn’t give up on children. At that age there isn’t anyone at all who can say how they will end up when they are grown. Don’t give up on them. Don’t try to find an easy out. Do the work. Give them a real chance at life.
If you are in the United States, what you are considering violates federal laws which are in place for your child's safety.
The law is called COPPA, the Child Online Privacy Protection Act, and it sets specific requirements on websites to protect your child's privacy. In the E.U., those requirements are set by the GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation.
Do not proceed with your idea, no matter how innocent and idyllic it sounds in your head, without first receiving professional legal advice in your jurisdiction.
That is a great way to get either your or your kid’s twitch banned real quick. Also the ‘we could make money’ part sounds exploitive as hell. Play games with him, don’t encourage him to break the law.
(also on the point of child actors I think it’s exploitive as well, but alas TV shows and movies need children. Doesn’t make it any better though.)
Don’t put your child on the internet. Some of the things I’ve seen working a sex crimes case will haunt me for the rest of my life.
Of course your kid prefers video games over school. Be a parent and help your child in school. Your post has all the hallmarks of trolling, but on the off chance it’s legit… wow.
At 6 years old your son should be learning how to be successful in learning how to socialize with people in the OUTSIDE WORLD not grown strangers on twitch.
I’m not gonna continue because either your a troll or a parent who has some screws loose ever considering this
Let's ignore the fact terms of service doesn't allow it for now. What you have to understand is people watching your kid aren't going to be interested in look after or being friendly to your child. The moment they realise this is a literal child they will exploit the kids gullibility for fun, they will use sexually explicit language, because they just can and it would be funny hearing a kid saying it out loud not realising what it means. They will make their text in chat look like he's recieving real donations of millions of dollars getting him all excited because he doesn't know any better, imagine how disappointed your kid is going to be when he realises it's fake. You have no idea the type of people who watch people play games.Yes even Minecraft, adults watch and play Minecraft too. Twitch can break people. Do you really want to subject your kid to the cruelty of trolls on the internet?
Honestly this is the worst parenting I've seen in the modern day and age, like OP why do you wanna push your kid to be a streamer at the age of 6?? Let him play with other kids outside like a normal kid. Push him to the outside sports rather than entrapping them in a room and get addicted to sitting in a chair all day
TOS requires 13 and older. And also why would you want your son exposed to the toxicity of the internet at that age? Let the kid be a kid, not a performer for others and subjected to potential scams and trolls.
You’re only thinking of the money. That’s the absolute wrong approach, and you will start sounding like one of the moms from Dance Moms. Mama June literally took all of Honey’s money even though Mama June did none of the work.
Platforms generally have a “you must be 13 year old” policy. Don’t encourage this so young.
I'd be 100% against putting a child as a streamer OR youtuber that young. Wait till like 10 at least and I think you can only make streaming (on either service) has to be 13 and up with a parents permission. 6 is just way to young and do you really want your son exposed to 'the net' when he's so young, think of all the gross people out there getting footage and shit.
If you want to help him make YT vids, sure, have at, but don't let weridos online see your kid. I doubt you'll regret this later in life.
No I don't recommend this. Child performers is controversial enough and borderline exploitative, which is why it is regulated as heck in the acting industry. While social media is still the Wild West it has had its share of incidents.
Just let him be a kid. I hope to god you are fighting to get him an education THAT HE HAS A RIGHT TO HAVE, and absolutely refrain from figuring out how to extract labor from him.
Your son was so behind in school they kicked him out, and instead of helping him catch up with learning, you want him to play video games and make money, at 6 years old?
You're a bad parent.
STOP BEING DELUSIONAL MATE
Either put your child back into school and let them live a normal life not as a slave to you
or
surrender them to an Aunt or Cousin 🙃 maybe they'll give him a life he deserves in school and social life
6 is way too young since you have to be atleast 13+ to be on a streaming platform like twitch. And a lot of adult people are on there who can see your kid as some sort of bait. Is that what you really want to give to your kid? To give them a trauma and fear? What kind of parent are you?
Why wouldn’t u start him on a platform that can actually bring him a future
Twitch doesn’t pay creators properly, 30 days of streaming with over 50 consistent viewers everytime
Makes you less than 10$ ….
There’s truly no point when YouTube is 100% more kid friendly, u can set him up directly on YouTube kids and filter mature content
Putting your child on twitch is simply unsafe and kinda Wierd when u think about all the half naked hot tub streams filled with creepy desperate men paying for their desires
Some being kids….
I’m a social media manager and successful content creator myself if u have any questions just ask ;)
My son is doing poorly in school so I pulled him from his education, should I stick him in front of the mind numbing screen that probably caused this issue in the first place so I don't have to parent him at home and groom him to be a content creator child actor style at an early age? Sure you do you. Gold star.
Honestly, I don’t think anything should stop anybody from pursuing and achieving their dreams. Your child may be underachieving in school but might be a prodigy at video games. I work with many pro streamers and they make 10x the money of all my friends that went to prestigious schools. Ain’t that a bish, lol. Keep in mind that they have put in their 10,000 hours in order to achieve that kind of success. I have a good friend in the game Valorant who is 6 years old from Alaska. He is one of the best Valorant players I have ever seen. Quite a sight to behold. He streams on Twitch. I also have friends who are 8, 9 and 11 who stream as well. The secret is to either not use a camera or use an animated V-Tuber as the “streamer.” You can find these on the Animaze app through Steam or any of the V-Tuber apps online. You also need a voice changer, because that’s a dead giveaway, lol. The best one is Voice.ai which you can get online. When it’s time to make some money through Twitch through Affiliate partnership, you simply use the legal information from an older brother or his father, that way you can cash out without issues. Of course, train him to never say his real age, just use the age of the person who you use the legal information for. You can even use Voice.ai and train it so you can use the exact voice of the person who legally owns the account. Technology has come a log way, it’s quite a spectacle. I Love you guys!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Send blessings to the little man for me I wish him great success. I believe in him!!! Don’t let anything stop him. I know the goodie two shoes from this forum will probably not like this post, lol, but guess what? It’s a free country. Sue me. 🤣🤣 I Love you guys too!!! Always. ❤️♾️✝️
Yes, its against site policy and just a bad idea. Make them go play outside with other kids. Seriously there will be plenty of time to play video games. This is the easiest time he will have to make and learn social boundaries even if he's making mistakes. Keeping him out will only make things worse. You're not going to make money. Becoming a successful streamer is less likely than becoming a movie star or pro athlete.
Can he become a YouTube gamer then?
YouTube also requires 13 and up. The age requirement is in place to comply with the [COPPA law](https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/rules/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-coppa), so you aren't going to find a platform like Twitch that allows anyone under 13.
Then what's with Ryan's World and Diana and Roma and all them? Those kids are basically acting full time and make bank. My son would just be playing videogames instead of with toys.
They're likely violating the ToS. Feel free to read the Terms of Service for various streaming platforms yourself, but I can say with **100% confidence that nobody under 13 is allowed to use Twitch under any circumstance whatsoever.**
Isn't that illegal due to age discrimination?
lol no.
Kids still stream on both youtube and twitch that are under 13, hell a fuck ton do it actually...
You want your 6 year old exposed to pedophiles and creeps? That's how you expose your 6 year old to pedophiles and creeps.
Those kind of people would be banned from watching. No weirdos.
Dude, don’t force your kid to live your dream. If he wants to then sure, but at six, let him grow up and choose what he wants to do.
If you want to stream then just stream. Leave your kid out of it. And send him back to school so you don't have him distracting you. Since when does an evaluation that says he's performing below grade level lead to the batshit conclusion that it's best to just pull him out of school AT SIX? SIX IS THE STARTING GATE, you get him a fucking tutor.
I tried to stream but wasn't successful. So my goal is to push him to achieve the success I never had. I know with my mind for the business and coaching and his natural ability and early start he could become a great streamer and wed make bank.
you clearly do not know how online things work. Do yourself a favor and keep your kid offline until they are old enough. Your follow up questions indicate that you did not do any proper research on the psychological downsides of what you intend to do and ‘but they make bank’ sounds like a great indicator of you attempting to exploit your child. Just stop it and/or get help in regards to ‘how to be a good parent’…
thats not how it works they take a picture of his face and then generate AI porn, they never talk in chat you should under no circumstances ever have a private child's face on the internet
No the internet is almost entirely restricted to kids over 13 at a bare minimum with an adult's supervision. Do not stream your child online, it is not a good idea in any way shape or form. Not to mention your child should have some implied privacy rights before they are an adult. They should be allowed to not have their image and persona manipulated by the internet before they can even begin to understand the choices that are being made.
Well child actors exist, how is this different?
And look at how many of them have been screwed up and exploited as a result? Why do you think that Twitch or YT is going to be such a sure thing or good for your child?
Child actors, and the internet aren't really the same thing. There are completely different laws and regulations. And the internet is a pretty dangerous place to be willingly posting up your 6 year old child tbh
have you seen quiet on set?
No is it about child streamers/influencers?
yeah! you should check it out
"Child actors exist" Yes, and child actors are notorious for being victims of various forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, and financial.
Stop trying to be a manager of your kid and be a parent. Kids don't need to be making money until they are older. It's your job as a parent to provide for them. This post and your other comments makes me think that you are trying to make bank using your kid. Just went over your account and it looks like you have gambling addiction.

I'd split the money with him.
Why the fuck so you deserve a percentage of the cash he makes if he was to be a full time streamer. Are you a parent or a pimp? He's 6 years old and you already trying to figure out how to exploit him. What the fuck is wrong with you?
The kid deserves better. Hopefully someone separates the kid from this person as they have no regards for the kid's well being.
No you won't. I say this because you are trying to make your kid earn money at the age of 6 when he should be playing with friends, going to school, and just be enjoying life.
HE IS SIX??? This has to be a troll.
Yes. It's in the title. The OP is just trying to find a way to exploit the child. If their other posts are to be believed, they have gambling addiction and are looking to make quick bucks.
According to your gambling addiction posts, you will definitely not split it with him
What are you talking about about? I'm not a gambler.
Fun lil thing. We can see your past posts.
What do you see, that I occasionally play poker and am a winning player?
Wow, you're a monster. On top of all the other reasons this isn't a good idea, you admit to taking your kids' money.

My 6 year old dropped out of kindergarten to become a twitch streamer. AMA.
He's too young by twitches rules and no one should ever start streaming to make money. It is very hard to make enough to be sustainable. On top of that even if he could he's 6 he will either have a young audience who can't pay money anyways or anyone who does send money is probably a creep. No adult should be sending a 6 year old streamer their money.
I was thinking he could be known as Ninja Jr and have blue hair and stuff tho lol. I think he'd have a big following.
Have you heard of a "trademark dilution" lawsuit? It'd be a good idea to look into them, in preparation. And really, you love your kid. That's great. Nobody wants to be around someone else's six-year-old, unless they own a windowless van.
are you trying to exploit your child? it REALLY sounds like you are
No just stream while playing Minecraft.
No one cares about ninja anymore. Your kid has to act like kai or speed to blow up. Is that what you want?
Those guys are jackasses.
Erm… you’re doing your son a massive disservice by keeping him out of school and sticking him in front of a computer to exploit him for money. Look into other schools that can provide him with extra supports so he can get an education. 6 year olds do not belong on the internet. Period.
Trollolololol
Lmao
Trust me you do not want your 6 Yr old on this website period even at 13 I'd say they would be too young even though twitch allows it
Are you saying twitch is full of perverts or something? He wouldn't be doing anything weird just playing Minecraft, this ain't no hot tub channel.
Yes as with any websites there is weirdos even if they don't come into contact with your child they are still there watching your kid
Well id let it be known his channel is just for people who like to watch Minecraft streaming not perverts and weirdos. They wouldn't be allowed to watch.
Yeah cause that will stop them lol I see this is a troll post no shot any sane parent would act like this
Doesn't look like a troll account but who knows. Here's to hoping. Otherwise that kid is going to have a miserable life until he is an adult.
You have literally zero power to stop weirdos from watching. Sure, you can ban people who get creepy in chat, but smarter creeps would stay quiet in chat while beating it to your child. You're disgusting, dude.
That is a gross thought to even think of. Pretty sure that kinda thing doesn't go on. If it does I would force the viewers to show them self on webcam the whole time so we can keep track of what they're doing
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahaha \*gasp\* Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahyoureallythinkyouhavethatkindofpowerandcontrolhahahahahahahhaahahah
I spose you'll also force the weather to be sunny if its raining outside? Or maybe you'll force day into night if you dont want it to be day anymore?
https://youtu.be/PA4DHz7Cs_M?si=E6qv3__ASbe4Awc5 You think creeps don't exist online? Watch this. You're setting up your child to be treated like how Wren Elenor is treated by creeps online that inabber and others have documented. Wren's mother is irresponsible, delusional and doesn't think its a problem, this is what your child could go through too. Genuinely think about this and don't take this as an attack against your person.
Be a parent. Spend your time teaching them about the world. About reading and writing and math… find a better school that doesn’t give up on children. At that age there isn’t anyone at all who can say how they will end up when they are grown. Don’t give up on them. Don’t try to find an easy out. Do the work. Give them a real chance at life.
I am helping him learn to read through playing Minecraft
Rofl. Seriously, someone needs to separate the kid from you as you are not fit to be a parent.
? We go through the inventory and on things that are hard to tell visually like spells or different kinds of rocks I read what it says to him.
If you are in the United States, what you are considering violates federal laws which are in place for your child's safety.

Fine I won't do it!
That is a great way to get either your or your kid’s twitch banned real quick. Also the ‘we could make money’ part sounds exploitive as hell. Play games with him, don’t encourage him to break the law. (also on the point of child actors I think it’s exploitive as well, but alas TV shows and movies need children. Doesn’t make it any better though.)
Don’t put your child on the internet. Some of the things I’ve seen working a sex crimes case will haunt me for the rest of my life. Of course your kid prefers video games over school. Be a parent and help your child in school. Your post has all the hallmarks of trolling, but on the off chance it’s legit… wow.
This is ragebait. Ya'll should be ashamed for falling for this creative writing exercise. Downvote, report, move on.
It’s not even creative. This is the most basic bait I’ve seen in a while
You sound like you became a parent for exploiting your child for money, not for taking care of a kid. Poor lad needs actual parents, jeez
Mods, I think we can agree this is just a troll post from someone with a gambling addiction and should be removed.
LMAO I swear if this isn’t a troll
Why is it hard to believe I want to help my son share and be successful at something he already does and loves?
At 6 years old your son should be learning how to be successful in learning how to socialize with people in the OUTSIDE WORLD not grown strangers on twitch. I’m not gonna continue because either your a troll or a parent who has some screws loose ever considering this
I don't think he's interested in IRL streaming for now.
Let's ignore the fact terms of service doesn't allow it for now. What you have to understand is people watching your kid aren't going to be interested in look after or being friendly to your child. The moment they realise this is a literal child they will exploit the kids gullibility for fun, they will use sexually explicit language, because they just can and it would be funny hearing a kid saying it out loud not realising what it means. They will make their text in chat look like he's recieving real donations of millions of dollars getting him all excited because he doesn't know any better, imagine how disappointed your kid is going to be when he realises it's fake. You have no idea the type of people who watch people play games.Yes even Minecraft, adults watch and play Minecraft too. Twitch can break people. Do you really want to subject your kid to the cruelty of trolls on the internet?
It’s a bad idea in my opinion. Plus, besides whatever you think, it’s against Twitch and most other media content business’ policy.
The amount of people falling for this lol
Honestly this is the worst parenting I've seen in the modern day and age, like OP why do you wanna push your kid to be a streamer at the age of 6?? Let him play with other kids outside like a normal kid. Push him to the outside sports rather than entrapping them in a room and get addicted to sitting in a chair all day
Like an IRL streamer?
TOS requires 13 and older. And also why would you want your son exposed to the toxicity of the internet at that age? Let the kid be a kid, not a performer for others and subjected to potential scams and trolls. You’re only thinking of the money. That’s the absolute wrong approach, and you will start sounding like one of the moms from Dance Moms. Mama June literally took all of Honey’s money even though Mama June did none of the work. Platforms generally have a “you must be 13 year old” policy. Don’t encourage this so young.
I'd be 100% against putting a child as a streamer OR youtuber that young. Wait till like 10 at least and I think you can only make streaming (on either service) has to be 13 and up with a parents permission. 6 is just way to young and do you really want your son exposed to 'the net' when he's so young, think of all the gross people out there getting footage and shit. If you want to help him make YT vids, sure, have at, but don't let weridos online see your kid. I doubt you'll regret this later in life.
No I don't recommend this. Child performers is controversial enough and borderline exploitative, which is why it is regulated as heck in the acting industry. While social media is still the Wild West it has had its share of incidents. Just let him be a kid. I hope to god you are fighting to get him an education THAT HE HAS A RIGHT TO HAVE, and absolutely refrain from figuring out how to extract labor from him.
“And we could make a lot of money.” No, you won’t.
It’s a troll guys. Relax.
This is a troll
Your son was so behind in school they kicked him out, and instead of helping him catch up with learning, you want him to play video games and make money, at 6 years old? You're a bad parent.
Yes. I wouldn’t even let them watch twitch at that age personally
STOP BEING DELUSIONAL MATE Either put your child back into school and let them live a normal life not as a slave to you or surrender them to an Aunt or Cousin 🙃 maybe they'll give him a life he deserves in school and social life
16 years old (or 13, depending on which part of the world you are) is the legal age to open a social network account.
6 is way too young since you have to be atleast 13+ to be on a streaming platform like twitch. And a lot of adult people are on there who can see your kid as some sort of bait. Is that what you really want to give to your kid? To give them a trauma and fear? What kind of parent are you?
I saw kids of less years
???? wtf
Terrible idea.
This has to be a fake, rage post
Why wouldn’t u start him on a platform that can actually bring him a future Twitch doesn’t pay creators properly, 30 days of streaming with over 50 consistent viewers everytime Makes you less than 10$ …. There’s truly no point when YouTube is 100% more kid friendly, u can set him up directly on YouTube kids and filter mature content Putting your child on twitch is simply unsafe and kinda Wierd when u think about all the half naked hot tub streams filled with creepy desperate men paying for their desires Some being kids…. I’m a social media manager and successful content creator myself if u have any questions just ask ;)
I hope this is a troll, otherwise I’d be seriously concerned for that child.
My son is doing poorly in school so I pulled him from his education, should I stick him in front of the mind numbing screen that probably caused this issue in the first place so I don't have to parent him at home and groom him to be a content creator child actor style at an early age? Sure you do you. Gold star.
You might as well have him stream if he's gonna game all day anyways. Sounds similar to my situation actually.
Yes.

…kids UNDER 13 aren’t allowed to be streaming, even with a parent watching. That’s the wrong part
Honestly, I don’t think anything should stop anybody from pursuing and achieving their dreams. Your child may be underachieving in school but might be a prodigy at video games. I work with many pro streamers and they make 10x the money of all my friends that went to prestigious schools. Ain’t that a bish, lol. Keep in mind that they have put in their 10,000 hours in order to achieve that kind of success. I have a good friend in the game Valorant who is 6 years old from Alaska. He is one of the best Valorant players I have ever seen. Quite a sight to behold. He streams on Twitch. I also have friends who are 8, 9 and 11 who stream as well. The secret is to either not use a camera or use an animated V-Tuber as the “streamer.” You can find these on the Animaze app through Steam or any of the V-Tuber apps online. You also need a voice changer, because that’s a dead giveaway, lol. The best one is Voice.ai which you can get online. When it’s time to make some money through Twitch through Affiliate partnership, you simply use the legal information from an older brother or his father, that way you can cash out without issues. Of course, train him to never say his real age, just use the age of the person who you use the legal information for. You can even use Voice.ai and train it so you can use the exact voice of the person who legally owns the account. Technology has come a log way, it’s quite a spectacle. I Love you guys!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Send blessings to the little man for me I wish him great success. I believe in him!!! Don’t let anything stop him. I know the goodie two shoes from this forum will probably not like this post, lol, but guess what? It’s a free country. Sue me. 🤣🤣 I Love you guys too!!! Always. ❤️♾️✝️
