For Twitch it's even worse.

Top 1% makes around $150 a month from subs.

0.5% makes maybe $300-500

How much you make can heavily depend on how much you promote yourself, but you really have to get into the very top creators to have a viable career.

You got the nail with the promotion. I think some people just think they’ll just become big if they just make content and don’t do anything else. Let the algorithm do the work.

Even the hottest OF people need to promote themselves all the time, which means engaging in the site, on reddit, instagram, etc.
