i wonder at what point playing games becomes a job and you start hating it? i know hes making a boatload of money but being tied to the xbox and your whole life revolves around playing one thing and being the best has to wear you down fast.

He doesn't have to be the best. (He's not even close)
He just interacts with his followers and consistently puts out videos

I wonder how much tmartn makes a year

yeah but he has to be performing pretty damned good though. nobody is going to subscribe and watch someone that is average or less than average just because they make you feel like they are talking to you. also im sure red bull wouldnt keep him on the payroll if he started being average.

i dont have a problem with him or anything it just seems to me that the pressure to do this all the time and make your life revolve around it would take the fun away from it. maybe not though idk

cute af

Depending on the contract, as well as viewers using adblock, generally at a minimum 1,000 views = $0.90-1.00.

Subbing on twitch cost $5, of which $2.50 goes to the streamer. The number of subs is unknown information, but a friend of mine pulls about 300-400 viewers each day on twitch and tends to acquire 10-20 subs each week. He has around 50k followers. Now, someone with 500k+ followers and 3k+ people watching probably acquires countless subs. I don't know what his contract was for moving to MLG.tv, but I'm sure it was a lot. Now that MLG offers subs, I'm sure he makes even more money.

That being said, that doesn't even include money received from sponsors.
