Alinity exposes how Twitch leak proves people \u201cshouldn\u2019t stream for the money\u201d Instagram\/alinitydivinePopular streamer Natalia \u2018Alinity\u2019 Mogollon found a silver lining amid the massive Twitch leaks to show that not everyone is cut out for her line of work. On October 6, a major Twitch leak rocked the internet, exposing the income of the Amazon-owned platform\u2019s top streamers. Twitch is still investigating the breach and is continuing to update users as information becomes available. While the leak didn\u2019t include sponsorship deals, it still gave users some insight into just how much money the likes of Pokimane, xQc, Hasan, and others earn on the platform. For some, the opportunity to make millions on Twitch may sound like a glorious opportunity to start streaming. However, according to Alinity, the leak shows why people actually shouldn\u2019t stream for the money. Alinity explains why you shouldn\u2019t stream for money \u201cThis leak should be proof that you shouldn\u2019t become a streamer for the money, very few people make it,\u201d the 33-year-old Colombian-Canadian streamer said. \u201cI don\u2019t think any of us that started before 2013 said, \u2018Wow, I am going to press GO LIVE to be a millionaire,\u2019 and neither should you.\u201d Real talk tho. This leak should be proof that you shouldn’t become a streamer for the money, very few people make it. I don’t think any of us that started before 2013 said “”wow I am going to press GO LIVE to be a millionaire”” and neither should you. \u2014 Alinity (@Alinity) October 7, 2021 Mogollon first created her channel in late 2012 and has amassed over 1.4m followers in her time streaming. As such, she\u2019s built up quite an impressive number of fans who support her content. That said, she\u2019s in a very small minority compared to the site overall. \u201cMy math is really bad, so please correct me if I am wrong: Out of 8 million active streamers in Sept 2021, only 6,000 make minimum wage. That is 0.075%,\u201d she noted. \u201cSo, let\u2019s say streamers make double what their Twitch earnings are. That means that 7,500 streamers make minimum wage. That STILL doesn\u2019t put them above the top 1% of Twitch.\u201d So let’s say streamers make double what their twitch earnings are. That means that 7,500 streamers make minimum wage.

Mind-blowing.\u2014 Alinity (@Alinity) October 7, 2021 Alinity reveals how much she makes on YouTube The numbers don\u2019t just apply for Twitch, either. When asked if streamers would make more or less money on YouTube, the Canadian unveiled how much she makes from posting content on the rival platform. \u201cI don\u2019t know what YouTube stats are like. But I am guessing they look a lot, if not worse, than Twitch\u2019s,\u201d Alinity said in response to a fan. \u201cI have 100k subscribers on YT, and only make a few thousand a year. Now, YT is better for discoverability to BRING people to Twitch, but not for revenue.\u201d I don\u2019t know what YouTube stats are like.

If you\u2019re thinking of streaming after the Twitch leak because you want to make some easy money, you may want to heed Alinity\u2019s warnings and just do it for fun. If it becomes a career for you, then go live the dream \u2013 but as she said, it\u2019s a very small number who even make minimum wage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
