> you just stream a healthy 30 hours per week

Unless streaming is somehow your job, I fail to see how that is even remotely healthy.

"somehow"... Twitch pays about $3.50 per 1,000 views to full-time streamers, starting somewhere around 500 regular viewers. Top end streamers make $5k/mo streaming 40 hrs a week. It's not SF senior dev money, but high-school me would think it's pretty cool to be making money "just" playing video games. (Instead I'm posting on HN for free.)

Top-end streamers make > $1m/year.

For many popular streamers it is indeed their job
