Do streamers get 100% of bits?
I'm curious to know, do streamers on platforms like Twitch really receive 100% of the bits donated to them by viewers? It's a common misconception that all donations go directly to the streamer, but I've heard rumors that there may be fees or deductions involved. Can you clarify how the process of receiving bits actually works and what percentage, if any, of the bits donated actually ends up in the streamer's pocket? It would be great to have a clear understanding of this before making any donations to my favorite streamers.
How many streamers make a living?
I'm curious to know, just how prevalent is it for streamers to actually make a sustainable living from their online content? Are we talking about a select few who have managed to break through and achieve financial stability, or is this a viable career path for a broader range of individuals? It would be fascinating to understand the dynamics at play here, from the number of streamers who are able to support themselves solely through their streaming activities, to the challenges they face in doing so.
