As an example, CriticalRole is sponsored by DnD Beyond - outside of the Twitch payment system. Presumably that happens a lot.

Remember also that they all have channels on Youtube and other social media.

it's only data from the last 2.5 years and paid out by twitch. he made a massive sum from microsoft when switching to their platform

I expected to see more booby streamers at the top. Amouranth is barely top 50.

Well there are over 1000 streamers making 6 figures over two years, there's just under 1000 streamers averaging over 6 figures a year (from only Twitch, i.e. excluding things like sponsorships and donations).

I'm surprised it's that few

Amazon is buoying the ecosystem.

Amazon Prime used to include (and maybe still includes) Amazon Prime Gaming (https://gaming.amazon.com/intro). One of the perks:

> Use your free channel subscription ($4.99 value) every month to support your favorite streamers

There are over 100M prime subscribers, and let's suppose 3% of them use the benefit to support streamers. That's at least $15M/mo Amazon is throwing into the ecosystem. Given a pareto distribution of revenue, it's no surprise that 1000 streamers are clearing 10K/mo

I think it is (lifetime wise at least), this is only from August 2019 to October 2021.
