📢 DID YOU KNOW? Most Twitch streamers cannot meet the minimum threshold ($50) to even cash out each month. ❌💵 Please charge according to the appropriate use of the client (personal/content use/commercial) or you will straight up lose clients 💔 I had a dm asking about what VTubers make and the artist thought VTubers would make money off their art, so they charged double for all clients. I was wondering if the automatic x2 VTuber label from artists was because they are uninformed...? A research article from Ahn, Jenny & Collis (2025) followed 2.4 million streamers over 26 months where the median streamer made $43 TOTAL after the entire period, with $4.10 being the monthly median. Twitch Tracker also tells us that 99% of streamers have under 20 viewers. Most of us are in it for the love of the game and spend more money than we should on art. Price accordingly for your time and skill, but please be aware that if you think we are profiting off of you for a personal use commission, it's very unlikely that is true ! Personally, I find that I bring a lot of free promotion to the artist and I am happy to do so because I love art, I love artists, and I WANT more business to go to them. I'm happy to see a price increase as well. But many of us are going into a personal use comm, just to be told it will be 2-3x more BECAUSE we are a VTuber - that just sucks.
