Looks like it's maybe a couple thousand people on the entire global platform. So...learn a trade or something lol
Good one.
Last thing I heard is passwords weren't leaked and they'd be encrypted in case because they were never the target.
I still changed mine and enabled 2fa
Someone who makes 100 dollars a month should not be donating to streamers!
Please stop giving up 10% of your income to someone who you don't know!
On one hand, I think the amount of money the top twitch earners make is kind of silly, but on the other, the job of being a full-time streamer must be absolutely miserable. Having to be "on" and in front of people entertaining them for hours and hours a day, multiple times a week sounds completely awful.
Edit: and that's not to mention the bizarre parasocial relationships you're opening yourself up to, where people suddenly feel entitled to the details of your life, or speculate about your personal business, or harass you. Honestly just sounds like shit. Idk how these folks do it for years. I'd get a decent chunk of change and then just fucking split.

And bits. Which, is the currency twitch uses for donations.
But you are probably right, this is likely mostly subs/ad revenue. which makes me understand the annoyance even less tbh.
Well, it looks one either their insider threat team took a huge slap to the face or they got externally hacked which is probably even worse. Not a good look whichever way you approach this.
For leak vs theft, stolen data can still be a leak, tomato/tomatoe 😀.
I've seen some of the streamers I subscribe to breakdown what their revenue breakdown is by source and 90%+ of their income is in the form of subs, gift subs, and bits aka. viewers deciding to give money to streamers they like directly. Ad revenue is really not much for most streamers.
I assume the largest streamer had their revenue pie chart taken over by sponsored streams and merch though.
The one thing I wish streamers would do is to no longer encourage hype trains. Hype trains is when there is a rush of donations and people trying to one up each other in donations in a very short period of time. It is a psychological thing that causes people to feed into the hype train and donate when normally they probably would not. It is in my opinion terrible behavior.
AFAIK you can turn them off for your channel, same with turning off the Gift Subs/Bits leaderboards. Despite them getting hundreds of subs very quickly, I've never seen a hype train on CritRole.
I'm always weirded out when i'm watching a streamer and somebody just throws $300 at them like it is nothing.
I guess you have never seen legit 10+ k USD tip then if you think that about 300 :D
It is nothing to some people. Wasn't there some oil money doing 5 digit donations a few years ago?
For the person that donated it probably is nothing. That or they are getting something out of it.
For some of them it is. For most of them it's not. This argument comes up any time there's something exploitative in gaming. The people buying all those loot boxes are obviously just super rich. Normal people wouldn't get caught up in it.
Because if there's one thing Twitch chat needs, it's less moderation.
it more sad, that the homophobe racist is making the most money..
No. Doesn't change the fact they should be paid.
That's not a moderators problem. That's twitches problem.
All channels mods are volunteers from communities more or less.
Some rare streamers like CohhCarnage have his veteran mods on wage that he pays to them.
People giving tips to entertainers they like is not them being "exploited".
That's up to the streamer.
I'm aware. Just saying if someone doesn't wish to be a volunteer mod they're free to quit.
even though as a gamer enthusiast forum i already assume most here make comfortable amounts of money. Those who don't are the ones I usually target with my giveaways....in which i hope people don't take advantage of at points.
I'm having a lot of mixed feelings on this whole ordeal. But the one silver lining is that Aris is getting paid.
Going to cancel any other sub I have active though, these guys will be alright. lol
They should make demands from these streamers and walk out if they aren't willing to negotiate in good faith.
Even if only a handful of mods get the courage to ask to be paid this whole thing will have been worth it.
Sadly most are probably so far down the rabbit hole that they think getting a signed headshot and access to a special mod discord channel is all the payment they would ever need.
Had the same feeling about MajinObama, glad he's even on there lol
Have you considered they are aware what the streamer makes and has no issue doing a volunteer role of their own volition?
I think that you have completely missed the point of what a volunteer mod does. And you have missed the point very badly.
Pal of mine is in the top 300 earners and his missus is due to give birth next month. He's absolutely terrified as his address has been leaked as part of it all.
I'm amazed at the people surprised by these numbers. All you have to do is look at someone's subscriber count to get a rough estimate, then maybe double or triple it cause of tips/ads. You may not get exact, but you'll least figure out they're making bank or not.
Anyone looking at these numbers and think they can get an easy paycheck too might as well think they can win a random lottery because someone else won it in the past.

Changed my PW and re-enabled 2FA just in case. Pokimane is live atm and talking about the leak very openly.
I think Pokimane is one of the few streamers who limited donations in a meaningful way, too.
No matter how simple the math is, the majority of people have no interest in looking this up or investigating this on their own. When this is public information, of course people are gonna react in some way or another.
And to think that the people who work to make the very games these people play on stream only earn a fraction of that amount. That's how life works I guess.
It's okay, I'm sure the upcoming feature that allows followers to pay to promote their favourite channels will rectify this!!!!!
