Hi Karl,
The article about streamers is very interesting, I knew that they earned a lot, but I didn't think it was that much money, it is quite profitable and I have seen great growth especially on Twitch, everything that has to do with games is very exciting , and now Bitcasino.io is on another level, Wow it's always exciting to wait for Fridays to wait for the best selection of games, PiggyPop is a great game, I really like their music, it seems like a movie. It is a very nice rock and roll. I also see that it has very good chances of winning, I actually recommend playing PiggyPop, it gives a lot of relaxation to play it.
They also get money from their affiliate because I see in a channel, they suggest we subscribe to their channel and join using their affiliate links. That makes them have a big referral that will give them additional money weekly or monthly. We never imagine how much they will get but I think they can get more than $5,000 monthly and that is a lot of money for the streamers. No wonder many people are now trying to focus on making many exciting videos, especially about their playing the game as their hobby.
Not every streamer makes that kind of cash neither. Recently in my nation the streamers income was dropped after Twitch made the subscriptions a lot lower price. This of course impacted the income of every streamer out there. However the numbers increased a bit as well, did not increased as much to cover the difference but at least it allowed more people to join which makes it a lot better for streamer.
Instead of having 300 people with 5 dollars, you now have 1000 people with 1 dollar, that is not profitable but it is a lot more enjoyable that is for sure, plus makes it easier for you to get ads as well and increases your ad revenue in the long run. All in all I would say that making around a thousand dollars is where the threshold is, after that you could maybe become huge, or you could sustain it that way but it is definitely unsure if you will be a decent streamer or not until around a thousand dollars. Those millions of dollars worth streamers are very rare, it is a lot less than that for 99% of streamers.
Maybe that number will reduce after social media change their rule so the streamers do not earn much money. As you said, the streamer's income dropped after Twitch made changes in subscriptions. But you can try to ask popular streamers on Twitch what impacts their income from the changes.
Maybe for small streamers, that reduces their income a lot and I think that could be the same as in Youtube. Youtubers also earn money and if Youtube adds changes to their rule, I think that does not impact them a lot. They can still earn money in many numbers, although the number will always change monthly.
Besides that, that is just temporary because, with their popularity, they can create other content that can attract more subscribers, which means the new potential income they can make later.
These can be won in the Volcano Bonus game. During the base game, if a Magma Rock Symbol lands, it flies off to one of the smoking volcanos, and there’s your chance of activating the Volcano Bonus feature.
