boxbox explains how much money a prominent streamer can make from sponsored streams
Albert spent a few hours discussing about his personal life and how he has matured as a content creator around the 10-hour mark of his most recent TFT stream. While discussing it, boxbox claimed that every major streamer is overpaid and offered his opinion on the matter.
“Streaming just gets worth more and more, streamers are really overpaid. I’m overpaid, every large streamer is kind of overpaid. It’s really gross. We really don’t deserve this money.”
During the conversation, he stated that a streamer with an average of 10,000 viewers every stream could potentially earn $8,000 per hour while playing sponsored games on stream.
“There’s an offer to play a game for one hour, for $8,000”
He then expounded on an opportunity he had in the past where he was offered a deal when he was only 18 years old:
“Hey Albert, you’ve been averaging 10,000 viewers lately. How would you like to play this game, this very popular online game and we’d give you $300 an hour.”
He went on to say that he was supposed to be paid $2,000 per hour, but the middleman was really earning $1,700 per hour:
“And when I found out was, actually, getting paid like $2,000 an hour but the guy was pocketing $1,700 an hour. I played it for 40 hours! I made it do like $50,000 or something.”
