Some of the most famous Twitch streamers of the moment have come out to give a message to young people after the leak of their income.
This week that is ending, Twitch, Amazon’s platform, was involved in a hacking case that revealed the large amounts that some of its most famous streamers earn. But let’s go in parts.
Twitch is, today, one of the favorite platforms for gamers and one of the most important sites for streamers. The popularity it achieved during the pandemic continues to generate very considerable income.
Much of this popularity is due to the fact that it has some of the most famous streamers of the moment on its platform: Ibai Llanos, AuronPlay, Rubius, among many others. Each of these three has thousands of followers who pay to view their content.
The facts
Just a few days ago, as part of a hack on the platform, the alleged income generated by these streamers and others was leaked, a fact that has brought several important issues to the table. The first, the most striking, the enormous amount of income generated by these streamers and others.
While it is true that several of the streamers mentioned have been working on it for years, the reality is that, when looking at what they earn, more than one user is wondering “how is it possible that they earn so much?”.
Now, another important question that arises from this is why is there such a difference between streamers when it comes to receiving their payment?
This is precisely one of the issues that led a group of Twitch creators to go on a virtual strike a few weeks ago, added to the fact that the platform cut subscription prices for users in half, which would affect revenue. of those streamers who do not earn the millions that Ibai Llanos, Rubius, AuronPlay and others generate.
Probably, that was the reason why two of these streamers went to their social networks to talk about the subject, but diverting attention from their speech towards young people and their desire to become streamers.
Among many other words, both Ibai Llanos and AuronPlay advised young people to “not drop out”; that they “do not let themselves be clouded” by the millions that they earn as creators or streamers.

A message to clean up your image?
Of course, we are talking about two great internet personalities who, in effect, have been dedicating themselves to it for years, but that does not stop being a reason to question about the millionaire income they generate.
We live in an era dominated by social networks and digital platforms, which, for years, has become the desire of many users who want to be influencers, content creators, streamers, etc. Is it fair. In the end, it is a profession and, from what we have seen, it can be won very well.
The truth is that it does not happen with everyone, as Ibai Llanos and AuronPlay mention, but what they do not say is that there is great discrimination against many streamers. You just have to look at the disparity in subscription prices between some streamers and others, it is not fair and that was also an impetus for the virtual strike.
Some users showed their support for these two streamers, but it is also a measure to clean up their image a bit, because, in addition to their income, this has also been exhibited and more than one is wondering about the reason for their millionaire earnings and why other streamers don’t get the same pay. Without a doubt, an interesting topic that will continue to be talked about.
