More power to him. I don't get his appeal at all (I find him incredibly annoying) but his success is undeniable. What's crazy is that these youtubers and streamers are just scratching the surface of their potential. Twitch is getting massive.

Yep.

I've followed ELPRESADOR for years for his COD live commentaries. He's horrible at the game but his rages are great.

Most of these famous youtubers have been doing this for about 5 - 8 years. if you start doing YouTube today and want to be successful you'd have to be good looking, British, or gay. If you're all 3 you'll be a YouTube God. If not you'll be wasting your time

I was really hoping to ride the coattails of a YouTube sensation to riches but he quit.

Watched two videos. Didn't laugh once. Not once. And his gf/wife has possibly the most annoying voice ever.

Anyone have any idea how much hutch (THE GOAT) makes streaming?

Hutch probably just makes enough. He doesn't make anywhere near a million. If I had to guess I'd say anywhere from 30k to 85k

I'll watch some of the machinima guys like ZeRoyalViking, Chilled chaos, or guys like Cartoonz who seems to be a genuine dude.

Pewdiepie and jacksepticeye type of gamers aren't my thing

Most of the twitch guys out themselves as money whores.

then you have a guy like Castro, who is the #1 Fifa streamer, and gives a lot of money back to his community.

And the past 2 years, he's done charity streams.

last year 40K ish raised

this year over 50K. All of it straight to charities, and then he throws a few K himself into the pot.

Those twitch tards(summit,lyrik,etc) would skim the pot, no doubt about it.

It's hard to not run up against stacked teams when you are rated in the top 200 of the game. If I could get some of the damn pack luck that these other tards get, I would be able to climb into the top 50. I need Mike Trout.

I don't think people watch because he's laugh out loud funny, it's more that they just like his personality. I follow a couple people on twitch and youtube and I honestly can't even explain to people why I watch

Hutch turned a lot of people off with his boohoo I am so depressed all of the time shite. He lost a lot of people when he went all emo and left Machinima.

Mr Sark on the other hand cracks me the frick up and him leaving Machinima has paid off for him. He's growing his audience and doing pretty well.

Qtpie probably makes over 3 million dollars a year by playing on twitch considering he gets $2.50 for each sub and not to mention all the donations he receives. He is someone who I can listen to all day. Just cracks me up with what he says.
