Starting point is 00:00:00 First things first before I cannonball into the spaghetti and meatballs of today's topic. What is it? I'd like to let you all know. I've been actively working on my Mickey Mouse impression, so please let me know your thoughts. Pluto! So with that out of the way, I'm going to show you all of my analytics from my lifetime of being on YouTube and almost a decade of being on. Is this Charlie's coded message and way to send a message to Pluto who's on the Twitch staff
Starting point is 00:00:34 to indirectly complain about his revenue that he's making on Twitch or the revenue that's being made on Twitch as a preface to the video? Because that's what it has to be, right? That's what it has to be. On Twitch. Now, the reason for this is a week ago I made a video called I'm turning it off.
Starting point is 00:01:02 And in that video, I'm explaining why I'm disabling any and all means of people having the ability to donate money to me. Yeah, I turned mine off too. It's fucking annoying. I don't want to read people's messages. They're stupid and then people feel like they want to talk to me. Then I think that you owe them something. It's just fucking annoying. Yeah, I turn that shit off too. More super chats. No more YouTube memberships for all intents and purposes. No more bits on Twitch. I say all intents and purposes because you can't actually fully disable that on Twitch. Once you start streaming on there,
Starting point is 00:01:34 you're fucking shackled to the bits ecosystem. It can't. Yeah, you, I mean, yeah. You can, people can do it, I don't create an incentive structure around it. Not be turned off. So I made the minimum so high that no one can pay it, hopefully, and actively discouraging people from subbing on Twitch as well. Any and all avenues where people could just give me clams, I am just putting the kibosh on. I should have done this a long time ago, but better late than never.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Might as well get the party. Yeah, no, that, well, that's what happened is that Dan, you know, like we were at, he took us out to a really nice state. restaurant. It was a very, very nice place. And Dan was telling me, he's like, hey, so you're losing us a lot of money. And I said, am I losing you hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars? And Dan refused to answer me. And so he was telling me, he's like, hey, man, I'm just letting you know that we might be doing this ad thing. Does you feel, guys, do you guys feel out of place? I mean, no, you just, I mean, you go to one of these steak restaurants, and it's like an expensive
Starting point is 00:02:45 place. There's plenty of idiots sitting around. Plenty of morons sitting there all the time. You think everybody there is fucking Bill Gates? No. Morons everywhere. The reason is super simple. I would much rather you keep your money.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Use it for yourself or use it for things you deem important, whether it's charitable causes or what have you. But just stop forking it over to me. Now since posting that video, there's been a lot of questions and even somewhat of a pushback from other streamers about how like this sets a bad precedent where it like... Yeah, I think other streamers don't...
Starting point is 00:03:21 And this is why whenever I've talked about it, I've always said multiple times that I don't criticize or complain. Like, you know, like Kai does a sub-a-thon. Even Kai's got a lot of money too, right? And I never criticize other people for trying to make money. I don't think it's really a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:03:39 And that's why I always say, like, every time that I do talk about, like, taking donations. or anything like that. I usually do preface it by saying, like, if other people want to do it, that's totally fine. Because I don't want to do like a,
Starting point is 00:03:51 I think Charlie, like, what he's talking about is like streamers get defensive because they feel like people like Charlie potentially are pulling the last. Charlie's not doing this, by the way. But this is the way they feel that Charlie's pulling the ladder up, right? He's already made a lot of money. And now he's virtue signaling that he doesn't need your money. And this creates. a second order effect of now other viewers thinking that you as a streamer, this other person,
Starting point is 00:04:20 are greedy and thinking of you as a worst person. It makes them look bad, basically, right? That's the way that they feel. Yeah, it does look like that? Yeah, I mean, sure, right? And that's why I always say that. But that's the reason why he gets the negativity. Starts to shame other streamers if they don't follow my footsteps here?
Starting point is 00:04:45 Yeah. Let me be clear. I'm not trying to make a rallying cry here. I'm not your dad. You do what you want with your own streams. Keep donations and subs on out the wazoo forever. I don't care. That's your prerogative.
Starting point is 00:04:56 This was just my own personal. Right. Yeah. I mean, I feel the same way. You do whatever you want to do. Decision. Obviously, that wasn't like the most prevalent take or anything, but it is a conversation I saw stirring about after I posted that video
Starting point is 00:05:11 because there are some streamers that believe that normal people having the ability to give them money, helps them feel included in the community, part of the crew, part of the ship, and it's like integral to the streaming experience to be able to... I think that's a interesting perspective, and if you want to have that perspective, I think that that perspective should be attached to some sort of merchandise. So like if you really, if you think that you want your community to feel engaged, and you think that by them investing into you as a creator,
Starting point is 00:05:42 that then they will be, you know, invested into the stream, psychologically that is a sound conclusion to make. Why not sell merchandise? Sell a little plushy. Sell a shirt. Sell something, a little, a little, a hat, a little stupid thing, right? That's fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:05 I mean, that's, yeah, phone case, right? Yeah. So I, but you don't have to ask for $20. Like, just give them something that they can remember that they have. And then whenever you get canceled, they can make videos on Twitter, setting it on fire. To like sub and donate and things like that. I've never really shared that perspective.
Starting point is 00:06:24 I've always viewed streaming as content that you are providing to viewers for free. It is. It's free. And I monetize my stream in a lot of ways. And I notice, you know, you guys notice, like I'll, you know, somebody donates 50 subs, 100 subs, 10 subs even. I'll say thanks. But a lot of times I also say, don't do it if you can't afford it, right? the truth is that I don't like the idea of the like the subscriber non-subscriber dynamic
Starting point is 00:06:54 because I think that it tears viewers and I don't like the idea where certain viewers are given privileges inside of the community that other viewers don't have because I just feel like that's an uncomfortable dynamic to be created by income I just think it's weird someone's nice enough to toss you a d'ablune you tip your fedora saying holly jolly thanks for the red at gold kind stranger and move on but it's not an obligation and no one should feel like they need to be able to give you money to be included in the community that feels very parasocial to me but that's just my own view on it but what i will tell you breaking the magician's code here there is no top streamer that needs your financial support that's a fucking fact oh my god And it's not entirely a fact because I know some of, like actually, you know what, I had a friend, I'm not going to say who it is, spent $60,000 having water delivered to their house from across the street. Even this friend doesn't need your fucking money. To put food on the table or continue providing those streams for you.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Also, the bulk of a streamer's income comes from ads in the first place. Anyway, though, I think this stems from people just not really knowing how much money a top streamer can make on Twitch, for example. So let me show you my analytics from my lifetime on Twitch. Now, Twitch analytics are a little wonky here on the back end, so I wasn't able to just set the date range from 2017 to 2025 because it would just freeze. It would just have a connption. I bet the Twitch HQ server just fucking caught flame. So I made 55K in two years, basically, right? 2017
Starting point is 00:08:52 2019 trying to do that so I had to break it up into chunks so in 2017 is when I really started like actually streaming on Twitch
Starting point is 00:09:01 I had dabbled in 2016 but it wasn't until 2017 where I got like partnered and everything so from 2017 to 2019 I made 55 and a half thousand dollars for those two years
Starting point is 00:09:11 and I wasn't full time streaming at this point or anything it was just a bit of a bit of goofing around having some fun and yeah brought in 55 and a half thousand dollars from 2019 to 2021 is when i took it a lot more seriously as you this is a better number you see this number it's the one one point two million dollars very good number to see here
Starting point is 00:09:34 can see my time stream went from 600 hours on the two years to three thousand six hundred hours and i made one point two million dollars for those two years and this was before my twitch contract. So the only ads that were running on my stream were like the pre-roll ads are the ones that Twitch would insert themselves. So this was still without ads by the way. Right. One point two million dollars. Almost one point three. Then I got a Twitch contract which necessitated a certain amount of ads three minutes of ad time per hour. And from 2021 to basically 2025, so like over three years. Made like four million. Made like four million. One. million dollars. That's pretty good. I would say that is overall, that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Astute observers amongst you with those keen peepers, you might notice that my subscriptions are less than half of what they were for the previous two year period. So even though I have a lot of people took the Twitch contract. I didn't take it because I just didn't want to have to fucking, uh, they said I had to stream a certain amount of hours. And like, I was like, well, What if I don't want to? And they're like, well, then you, well, they said you have to. I said, nope, I'm out. Actually it.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Yeah, I just didn't want to do it. I got a pretty good deal, too. I got a very good deal. What happened in 2023? Probably his contract ended. That's never removed back to multi-streaming between YouTube and Twitch. It becomes a job. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:22 180,000 less subs across these three years than I did for the previous two. I still made significantly more. It's a good amount of money. And that is because of ads. And this is also, you've got to keep in mind that this is the equivalent of four years, right? So he made like a little bit over a million dollars a year streaming on Twitch. That's good. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Ads are the breadbasket to streamers. Only a million a year? Yeah, it's decent. Sure. Why is you showing this? So people stop giving people that have that are making a million dollars a year. They stop giving their fucking paycheck whenever they're working at Sam's Club to them. Stop doing this.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Stop. If you want to say thank you for the content, that's totally fine. You want to chip in 15 bucks W, right? Thanks. But like, there needs to be an understanding of this. And here's the reason, too. I don't know if he's going to talk about this. there's been a lot of unhealthy relationships that I think people have developed over the years with streamers.
Starting point is 00:12:33 And I think these unhealthy relationships are fueled by a number of things. And by talking about the amount of money that people make, it does cut that parasycial relateability thing whenever you know that this guy is making like a million dollars a year, right? That to me is a good thing. that's a very good thing I'm happy that that's happening because the type like again that's like having oh wow there's no shit around here
Starting point is 00:13:03 there's no more flies where's all the flies nobody's saying that are they that's the way I see it especially of eatippers yeah yeah so I I'm very much this has always been my mindset for it this is why I've never
Starting point is 00:13:20 I've never like farm parasocial stuff at all I knew a girl who's giving over 50K to her favorite streamers. She could afford it, but still crazy. Well, I mean, if you can afford the amount of money that you're spending, I think it's like a person should have every right to exercise discretion and do what they want to do if it makes them happy, right? I mean, like, that's really, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:13:42 But at the same time, you also have to be reasonable. The jelly to the peanut butter sandwich that is streaming. And keep in mind, these numbers here, the 4.1, the 1.2, those don't even include brand deals or sponsorships and I didn't have any like ancillary donations but a lot of streamers do through like stream labs for like text to speech stuff like that so that doesn't include any of those other means of making money through the medium this is solely through just yeah like whenever I started streaming like within three months of streaming I was making $10,000 a month like just that it was that fast like I immediately like and and then
Starting point is 00:14:28 at that point, like within six months, we were streaming, like me and McConnell. We were live every single day, basically. And we were making probably like about double that, I would say, maybe a little bit more. And we were like the top of Twitch. That was in like, in less than half a year. You already have following though, right? A little bit. Like our first stream was 250.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Second stream was 1,000. and then like three months it was like four or five thousand and then by six months we were getting close to ten and then it went back down whenever I changed my schedule and everything and then it went back up obviously after that when was this it was like 2017 here's what I can do I just pulled up my analytics for a couple of my mods
Starting point is 00:15:18 one of them is in chat and I showed them how much money I was making on Twitch in one day or a week. And because they were wondering how much the 24-7 channel would make. That's about it. Pretty much says it. Twitch itself. And I think something important to mention,
Starting point is 00:15:47 contrary to popular belief, I am not a top streamer. I am also not even a full-time streamer and I haven't been for over a year and a half. So my 2025 earnings- Yeah, you've been getting lazy. He's been getting so lazy. Remember whenever he did that Halo 2 thing
Starting point is 00:16:01 and it was really good? Now you just go live for like three hours and play Digimon and then you go offline. Remember that? It was like three days ago. I remember seeing you do that. I was trying to watch the game. I didn't really put them here. It's about 100K. So another thing to add to the total here. But I'm not even a full-time streaming anymore. And I haven't been a top-twenty streamer probably since the fucking Among Us boom.
Starting point is 00:16:28 You know, back in the prehistoric internet age now. Like the Among Us era is the only time where I broached, like, like the top 20. I have not been in that ball game for a while and yet this is still... I would say that for every year, I've taken like long breaks so it might fuck up the averages, but I would say like have I been in top 10 I think I've been in top 10 for like seven years, maybe six minus like maybe one where I took a lot of breaks
Starting point is 00:17:06 That was about it. Yeah, I've been doing it for a while. Six, seven. Yeah, something like that, right? Top Ten Most Humble. Yeah, you were number one. No, I've been top on the platform for before. I mean, for months before, sure.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Yeah. That was a good month. Those were good months. Sure. A crazy amount of money where there is no reason I should be taking. money from just normal people working normal everyday jobs. It just doesn't feel right to me. Streaming is the easiest job there is. Hot take, I know, sorry, that was a blistering, scolding magma that I just spewed out there. But it's like, yeah, you don't need to do that.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And then like people give you money and they think that you owe them. It's just weird. Like there's just like, I would rather have a relationship with my audience where it's just a bunch of guys sitting around talking about video games or politics. or dicks or I don't know something stupid right like life like and there's no money involved
Starting point is 00:18:14 there's no like weird like sponsor play or something like that right it's just you're just sitting around talking and hanging out right I mean like that's that's really what I would want to do it doesn't mean I don't like to make money but there's always going to be ways to make money
Starting point is 00:18:34 and that's always what's happened no girl yeah no girls, no, of course not. By the way, so I went to the gas station and these three girls were like laughing and giggling at each other talking about me. And they kept saying they're like, is that moist critical? And I'm like, I'm not Charlie. And they're like, oh my God, we knew it. Yeah, they're like, we thought you were him. And I'm sorry, but I felt like,
Starting point is 00:19:05 I feel like I don't look anything like Charlie. If anything, it's an insult to Charlie that people say I look like him. Like, what is this? Like how the, like, and these girls, I mean, I think they were drunk, right? Because they pulled in sideways to the fucking gas station. And this is a gas station with a bunch of those like metal poles in the front so you can't drive into it. And I'm like, how the fuck did you think that? How did you know this?
Starting point is 00:19:35 Like, why would you ever think this? It's not even remotely close. It's not. It's the hair. It's ridiculous. The truth. I sit in swamp ass for a few hours every day. Or at least I used to when I was a full-time streamer, playing games.
Starting point is 00:19:58 A week and a half. Or just yapping. Now, compare that Weenie Hut Jr. routine to a normal person who is actually working their ass off every single. single day in a nine to five environment grinding in the hopes of chasing the American dream. And then they'll come home, maybe turn on my stream and donate a couple of dollars to me. And it just doesn't sit. It feels weird. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Feels weird. Right with me. Taking that kind of money, given what I've made from all of this. And I really should have just stopped. And I think also like to me it's not even about that. Like I have no, I don't have no problem like, you know, you want me to steal my. money from somebody. I steal their money, but like, I don't want to have, like, the emotional component of it is weird. Like, I would rather steal the money from people than have them give it
Starting point is 00:20:47 to me. I would. Because I feel like at that point, like, that's, that's, it's like better, you know? Like, I'd rather steal it. Have people give it. Yeah, that's just, I don't know. this a long time ago, especially considering this is just the Twitch side of things. I told you, I'm going to show you my YouTube earnings. So be ready because here it is. Nope. Huge fucking number. Big money.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Big money. From starting this channel in 2007 all the way until today, I have made $35.8 million. I never even imagined that amount of money was possible to earn without just being born rich. No, there's plenty of ways you make a ton of money. You just have to get a lot of people to give you money. It's easy. Yeah, there's tons of ways you do that. I've said from day one, I got incredibly lucky.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I will never be able to put into words just how lucky I got with all of this shit here. I'm not special. I got lucky. It's funny that he says that because it is kind of partially true. But I remember going into YouTube and going into Twitter. and we, like, before we were in streaming, we had already decided me and Zach and McConnell and a couple of my other friends,
Starting point is 00:22:17 we had already decided that we were the best streamers on the platform and we hadn't even streamed by then. Like the amount of ego that we had was like, really whenever you go back and think about it, yeah, we already were better than everybody else. So, you know, eventually, like, as soon as we start, as soon as we start doing our stuff, everybody's going to stop watching them
Starting point is 00:22:42 and they're all going to start watching us because we're better. It was awful. This is what I've said before about like how actually the ego thing is gone way down. Like I am not even like one-tenth as bad as I used to be. Always said that. And I still believe that to this day. Now something I saw a lot of people asking after the video I made about turning off all the donations stuff is how much money I'm leaving on the table.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Big money on ads. And well, it's kind of hard to show it on Twitch considering both subs and bits are technical. still on, even though I discourage both. It's like you're missing out on about like 300k a year, somewhere around there. Something like that's what I would have to, if I, you want me to ballpark it, something like that. I have bits at a point where I don't think it's even possible to use
Starting point is 00:23:32 them. I still can't get like a hard number on what's like gone now or anything like that. But on YouTube, I can show you directly. So with memberships and supers slash gifts, I made over a million dollars. Just not this way. I've only had those things enabled for about a year. Yeah. It was a million dollars in a year from just normal people donating it to me.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Again, that just doesn't fucking sit right with me. Now I know there are plenty of- What's above the number are you at? Do you want me to be honest? I'm gonna tell you guys the genuine truth and you will not believe this, but I'm gonna tell you the truth. I have not checked my YouTube earnings since November last year. My accountant will call me occasionally and he'll say you're making a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:24:26 I'll say that's great. And the reason why I don't check it is because I think it is poison. I don't want to check it. I don't want to see the numbers. I don't want to think about the numbers. Did you only pay taxes? I actually paid taxes very recently. Like it was like three days ago.
Starting point is 00:24:53 That was a lot of money. it was a lot of money gamers and YouTubers that have significantly more money than me and have subs and donations on and whatever I don't care like I said this is not me trying to lead some kind of revolution here where all of them turn it off
Starting point is 00:25:16 it's their choice to make I wanted to explain fully why I don't want normal people just giving me their money anymore at all also I don't even like there's a moral aspect to it maybe but to me it's just fucking annoying I don't want
Starting point is 00:25:32 read the message. I don't want to read donation messages because people feel like you need to read them. And I don't want to have to feel like I have to read your message because a lot of times they're like attention seeking and annoying. And so it's like I don't want to do it. And so like that's the reason why. I mean, there's no like there's like no moral high ground here. There's no like, like, because the point where it was is like so it was, I remember the moment that I realized it was a problem is that I called my dad. Like I was on the phone with my dad. It's like me, McConnell and S-Fand. We were like running. It was like Seth a call. So I remember this clearly. And I tell them that like, because we had done TTS that day. And I tell my dad, I said, we've been doing TTS.
Starting point is 00:26:17 People donate money to do it. And he asked like, how much money did you make? And I'm like live. And I'm just like, oh, I made $7,000. Like that was from that one day just from donations. And he's like, that's it. And like, I don't know why. But I was just like, yeah. like did I really just like have to listen to all these retards just for $7,000? Like do I like I don't want to do with that. And and also like me and McConnell would be talking and me and S Van McConnell will be talking about like, you know, some shit, right? But then, you know, somebody would donate $20 and they would want to get a word in edgewise in our conversation. And it was just weird, man.
Starting point is 00:26:58 And so we turned it off. Like that's the, it was just annoying. reason. Yeah, I already have to listen to other retards at work for less. Yeah, that was the actual reason why. It was there's no, there, there's no fucking like moral authority of this or anything else. Witness me? Yeah, bro, like, not anymore. To be honest, I think just full goate-seeing showing how much streaming slash YouTubeing can make, just showing you the full unedited, raw numbers. It's a big number. It's probably helpful for normal people so they can see how much money is in this space because I think there's often so many question marks from people wondering
Starting point is 00:27:50 how much does a streamer or YouTuber make. They'll either say like they're making billions of dollars or they're making nothing. There's never like an in-between because there's never any like really hard numbers to look at. So I think something like this can be helpful for that, especially because over the years I've noticed there's been a multitude of creators that have come out and tried to like underplay how well off they are financially. If you do that, you are a dick sucker. You are a dick sucker if you do that. And not only are you a dick sucker,
Starting point is 00:28:20 but I'm going to make a video about you. Being a dick sucker. And then when you get mad that I made the video, I'm going to make another video about you getting mad. And this can go on as long as you want it to go. So just the way it is. That's what's going to happen. they believe it could be somewhat of a brand risk where if they are perceived as being someone
Starting point is 00:28:50 that's very rich well maybe their audience wouldn't like them they wouldn't identify with them yeah relatable yeah is just something i've seen here and there over the years from a bunch of different creators and i just find it a bit disingenuous being relatable to your audience is cultivating an audience of losers of simp losers that are unrealistic weird controlling, obnoxious, parasocial, parasitic, just freaks. Like, there's some people that have audiences like this. I'm not going to name names, but we all know the names. I would not, like, if they paid me $20 million a year just to deal with that, I would not.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Hopefully something like this can help show that if someone is in like the, top sphere of YouTube or Twitch. If you know their name, they don't need your money. They are very, very well off financially. Anyway, though, if you add both of these numbers up, I've made a total of $41.3 million. No, you made way more than that. You made more than that.
Starting point is 00:30:03 You know that. Everybody knows that. Because you have brand deals. It's probably closer to like 50, if I had to guess, maybe a little bit more. Because, like, they're probably a little bit extra thing. I'd probably say like 50, like 50, 60, maybe 70. Oh, like, if I had to put it in a number, that's the number I would use.
Starting point is 00:30:24 But that's not to say that's what I have. Now, I do live in Florida, which means there is no individual income tax. Big time Florida W right there. That's right. I know. I'm big time gushing grannie's Florida Glazer. I've lived in my whole life. And that is something very nice about it.
Starting point is 00:30:42 But it's not to say that the taxman comes in gentle with the lube. he still goes whole hog raw it is still brutal when the tax man comes a knockin he'll blow up your guts and that's just the way that it the cookie crumbles i don't even know how much money i pan taxes i'm gonna be honest like i i don't even know like i mean i i i looked at it and i was like uh yeah kind of i think that makes sense and that was it yeah i mean seven figures Yeah, but like seven figures could be like one million or like seven million. Right. Are you dumb?
Starting point is 00:31:19 No, I just, I try to avoid, this might sound weird, as I said before. But I think that the more that I think money and the fixation around money is a disease. And as soon as I was able to cover my basic expenses, then I didn't have any other need for thinking about it. Like it fixes everything. No, no, no. And I, I don't ever high road with this. So, like, for example, if you're making $50,000 a year, your life will, like, it will improve in, like, such an indescribable way if you go from making that much to making, like, $100,000 a year, right? But, like, there's a diminishing return for this.
Starting point is 00:32:09 And I think that now with inflation, that diminishing return kicks in at probably $150,000 to, like, $250,000 a year. right like where it's like the difference that you get from like a 50 to 150,000 dollars a year is gigantic. The difference that you get from 450 to 550,000 dollars a year is not gigantic. It's basically the same thing. And that's the point that I'm making. And so like the more that you think about that, I think that the more that you become disconnected from like doing what I do is a, it's in a way a creative, but it's also an expressive pursuit.
Starting point is 00:32:48 And the amount of time and, like, energy that I put into that, I don't want to have any of that be polluted by money, thinking about money. Does that make sense? Like, and so, in fact, yeah, and that's the way that I see things. And, and again, like, other people really care a lot about this. This is only the way that I, this is just like what I do, right? Most people can't not think about money.
Starting point is 00:33:26 No, Kanye West said it best, you know, in his new song, I'm just kidding. No, having money isn't everything, but not having it is. That's really the truth. And I, and I've been in both positions, right? I have. I've been in both positions. But, yeah, I think it's true, absolutely. But I'm not talking about that.
Starting point is 00:33:48 obviously a good chunk instantly goes to taxes there's also like salaries for the people that i pay on my team other expenses and also for the first four to five years of me earning money through my youtube channel i donated every single dollar to charity so while i may have earned 41 million dollars over the course of my time online i don't have nearly that much but i still have more money than I will ever know what to fully do with. And I actually thought it would be kind of fun to go through like a deep dive on what it looks like.
Starting point is 00:34:27 You know, taxes, expenses, all that kind of thing to see how it all breaks down. But maybe that's a topic best left for a different video. It's like my, they gave me my taxes, and it was like... Fucking...
Starting point is 00:34:42 It was like one more. And that was it. Like, it was a lot, man. Like, because it was... there's other things and other annoying stuff going on. It's complicated, right? It's complicated. You guys know if you have, like, certain types of holdings and stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:11 It's just so fucking obnoxious. And so, yeah. Glad you can pay the accountants I bet. Yeah, yeah, really. Like, what I'm doing something like, well, now what I'm doing is that, like, because my dad passed away. And so he just donated to so many charities. I had no idea, but he donated to so many fucking charities. It's almost annoying because I'm checking his mail and they're just spamming him with fucking mail.
Starting point is 00:35:39 It is crazy. So what I've tried to do and like, next time I take a day off, I'm probably just going to knock all these off. I haven't wanted to take a day off because I've just been streaming a lot. But at some point before the end of the year, I'm going to just take a day and just call all the charities that he donated to and figure out. out like what was his 2023 and 2024 donations and then just you know take that and then just donate that in perpetuity in his and my name for all the things that he had donated to which is like fucking 50 of them but it's like you know in the grand scheme of things it's really not a lot money right and so yeah uh need your assistant i mean i i i don't really know if i could have
Starting point is 00:36:24 an assistant do that but like i have no idea you think they'll disclose that to you I mean, if I tell them, I'm going to give them the money, yeah. Yeah, they'll just tell me for sure. I'll be like, yeah, I'm his son, and that's it. And so, yeah, I mean, I think they'd probably tell me, sure. I'll probably just conclude it here. Hopefully this was insightful. Anyway, that's really about it.
Starting point is 00:36:50 See you. There it is. Okay, well, there's the video. And, yeah, I think that, I think this is, I like videos like this because they're honest and I think that Twitch and YouTube and everything, the way that people see reality, the amount
Starting point is 00:37:07 of money that people make, etc. There is a lot of delusion that I think goes on but yeah, that's the way it usually is. SQC shows one day of Twitch earnings. Ooh. That was like a
Starting point is 00:37:21 So that was actually under the average. Wednesday, December 15. So he, he got a is a 45,000 dollars. That's pretty good. That's in one day.
Starting point is 00:37:41 That's good. But it was a lot better than it was before that. 33K out of ads. Yeah, you guys want to see mine? Here, let's take a look at mine. Analytics, earnings. Okay. And we've got right here.
Starting point is 00:37:59 All right. So we're back. and let me make sure everything is there is no issue with me showing any of this. It should not be a problem whatsoever. Okay, so I'll just pull it up. I'll show you all right now. So this is where we're at. This is how much money I have made in the last ever since I was back.
Starting point is 00:38:20 So basically I've made $19,000 this month. I don't know how I have 55 minutes of ad breaks whenever the amount of money that I've made an ad. See, I made $4,000 this day. This was a good day. And peanuts? No, no. Well, here's the reason why. The big reason why is because back then the money that you would make was insane. Like, if I go on to my Asmingold channel and I look at, you know, the Lost Ark days, XQC's right. That was a bad day. Yeah, he's right. Twitch-wise, it's peanuts? Yeah, yeah, there it is. And so anyway, Shoshpical Peak, no, no, it was a lot. And so anyway, like, this is the amount of money I make every day, basically on streaming on Twitch. I make basically, let's see, $500. It's a minus $22. Somebody bought something and they refunded. I got five cents for turbo, eight cents for ads. That's pretty good, right? And then, When we go back, I'll just go back a little bit more. So this is, I guess I made a lot of money that day. I don't really know why.
Starting point is 00:39:38 I guess gifted subs, some sort of like fucking promotional thing. And there you go again. Another $19,000. This is never where I wasn't streaming, right? So I'll just go back one more month. And so $16,000. You've got this one right here. You know, usually about $500 a day somewhere around there, right?
Starting point is 00:39:55 And is Kick any better? Oh, yeah. Yeah, no. I mean like $20,000 a day. And it would be easy. So it's gone down a lot because they used to pay me for turbo. And if you go back and you look at this, so I used to be getting paid a lot of money for turbo, but then Twitch took me off.
Starting point is 00:40:13 You said, you're earning revenue from Twitch Turbo. Well, no, I'm not. I mean, I can tell that because the graph says I'm not. So show kick. I mean, I haven't really streamed a lot on kick, so it's harder for me to say. I can go back and pull it up and see what it says. but this is this is where it is i guess i let me make sure that i can find all of this here and uh okay except all all right that should be fine and so can i yeah i guess i can just show this one right here
Starting point is 00:40:42 so this is on kick uh let me go back i'll pull this one up over here graphs aren't real yeah yeah basically and so um there's this one here there's the uh the graph and uh this is how much i've made on kick just i guess maybe in the last in the last month, right, ever since I've been back. So things are going a lot better on kick, definitely. And the reason why is that, you know, people that watch over there get paid for more money and, you know, like it's just better off. And so that's two weeks, right?
Starting point is 00:41:16 That's two weeks. And it's three times as much it is. So this is the amount of money I made per day right here on kick. It's about $5,000 a day. Somewhere around there, it could really depend. You run at the end of the stream, get Turbo Revenue. Maybe I could. I don't know. I used to run a lot more ads. I don't really run ads for any reason. It's not important. So amazing someone with 40K viewers make $700 on Twitch a day. What should small streamers do about that? Well, the reason why I don't make that much money is because I don't have to. The fact is that, and this is going to sound crazy, but I made this much money on Twitch, even whenever I had, I made more money than this whenever I had like 10,000 viewers back in the day. Because I emphasize, subs. We had sub goals, sub badges. We were doing like running, we had ad revenue, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:04 Twitch Prime, et cetera. But like, I don't need to do that anymore. So I just don't do it anymore, right? It's really just that simple. So yeah. And Charlie's done with the ad stuff too, walking in your footsteps. Yeah, it's just, it's unnecessary. It's annoying. Nobody likes seeing it. And so I turned it off, right? And you can see I was making a lot of money from Turbo for a while. and then they basically just cut it in half, right? So they took basically like $20,000 that I was making. And they were like, well, you're not getting that anymore. You little bitch.
Starting point is 00:42:37 You little bitch, you're not getting that. And so small streamers begging for subs, what's your max in a day? A lot. I mean, probably a lot. I don't know what my max in a day is. I have no idea. And yeah, that's it. I mean, cases ads are crazy.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Yeah, yeah. No, a lot of people make money with ads on Twitch. I mean, the thing is that you reach a point of having more money would make you more happy. I mean, I reached that point like fucking five years ago. I'm going to be honest, probably seven years ago. But yeah, that's it. Our sponsored streams big money.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Oh, the amount of money that I, listen, guys, don't worry about it. Okay? Yeah, $45,000 in a day. That's how much a lot of people make in a year. I mean, I'll be honest, right? I mean, I could go back and see this. people have the craziest urge to donate massive amounts of money. That's one of the reasons why I turned off donations.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I just thought it was weird. I mean, like, if people want to gift subs or something, that's, I guess it's okay. But I'm in a Black Mirror episode and I hate it. I think that really, like a lot of streamers, a lot of you, like at LSF posters and people get really mad about this is that I can't even afford to eat properly. Like, you can go and find some random OnlyFans girl that is like 19 that's made. a million dollars because she's posted pictures of herself on the internet. Like the reality is that you're always going to have people that are, that, you know, in one way or another, have it easier
Starting point is 00:44:09 than you do in life. But, you know, that's just always how it is. That's, that's, that's always what's going to happen. And here's what's funny about it. Is there are guys that make that same level of magnitude more money than I do? You know, like that, that's, that's the truth, right? They make way more money than I do. And or XQC does even, right? I mean, they make a lot of money. And so, and, and, and they're not streamers. Some of them, you don't even know who the fuck their name is, right? Like, you see somebody like Bobby Kodick is a good example, right? I mean, look at this guy. This guy gets a severance package. Just his severance package loan is $200 million. Like, that's it. Like, just, just that. Like, these are guys, like any celebrity or somebody like that that you think is, is really
Starting point is 00:44:58 rich. No, bro. Like, if you look at the guys that are running a lot of these companies and, like, the amount of money and, like, fucking equity and power they have, it's like, the NBA players are, like, homeless people next to this. It's like nothing. It's insane, bro. Like, yeah, like, these guys, like, they make decisions for, like, billions of dollars. It's not even, yeah, it's an insane money. Yeah. These people don't. play on the teams. They own the holding company that owns the team. They don't even own the team. They own the holding company that owns the team. Yeah, it's a totally different situation. So I don't ever, like, and I've dealt with people like that before. And honestly, a lot of them,
Starting point is 00:45:47 this is what I found to be very interesting. A lot of the most affluent people that I've ever met and dealt with are completely normal. They're completely normal. They're not massive ego. Like, yeah, they're confident. They say, yeah, I did this. Yeah, how about this, right? But they're totally fucking normal. The main people that I think are the most insufferable are the ones that are above average.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Those are the ones that are very annoying. That's really the ones. And they own the team. Someone owns the NBA itself. Yeah, yeah, maybe, right? And anyway, I will watch the, yeah, I will watch the Charlie video. I didn't get a. round of this yesterday. I think it'd be good to see. But people with fixations, maybe. Yeah, I guess so.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I've made tons of money. Now it's broke as hell. Yeah, you can lose it as fast as you make it. No, you can lose it as fast as you make it if you are bad with money. There's a lot of people that are very bad with money. So yeah, it's that simple. After a certain wealth, people want to keep it low key. Yeah, of course. Like, that's the way I am. Like, I don't want people to know that I have a lot of money. Like, I don't want people to recognize that I have an expensive car. Like, because in doing so, again, like, this is, think, ask yourself this question. I don't have this much money. But if you had $200 million, would you want to go around broadcasting that everywhere you went? No. No, you don't. And so that's really what it comes down to, right? And that's what
Starting point is 00:47:30 matters a lot.
