This video is pretty much my inner thoughts whenever i see a twitch streamer "leak" their monthly earnings after a month long subathon where they sleep and eat on stream.
Look, when I watch yt while trying to sleep, I ALWAYS wake up to a VOD of you. I tried unsubscribing but still the same result. I had to block your channel, but now oi get LTT stream. (linus tech tips stream). Its something new on youtube, they sense inactivity and start a vod for us or something. I dont think many people watch a stream after it's done, i think its autoplay.
I watch a lot of different streamers ( COD / Valorant / R6 ) who have voluntarily or involuntarily shown their salary on Twitch, it's frightening. Bro what they earn from ads alone is monstrous you can't imagine ; and I'm not gonna talk about people giving them crazy amount of money via donations or subs
The constant unskippable ads on Twitch are quite a deterrent. Additionally, TH-cam Premium stops ads from all channels, but subbing on Twitch only prevents ads from 1 specific channel.
Twitch turbo is the equivalent to TH-cam premium where it stops ads from all channels even if you aren't subbed. Still another subscription to pay though, which is annoying.
REMINDER that Charlie is one of the most famous content creators on both Twitch and TH-cam, so the numbers he's showcasing are only numbers a 16 Million subscriber channel can rake in. Nevertheless it'll still be very smart to multistream.
THANK YOU. I have a sneaking suspicion that some people are going to take these numbers out of context, not realizing that Charlie has a massive platform, probably with a decent YT/ad contract (as a content creator, not just streamer), and even for him, this video made a significant amount of money.
Compare it to what you make in your day job and ask yourself whether it's worth giving it a try. After all, you only need to make 1% of what Charlie is making to have a better income than many people. Sure, not everyone can do it, and even fewer can make it work, but my point is if you never try you won't know, and the odds are better than trying to make it to the NBA or win the lottery.
Subscribers won't determine much, it's the watch hours and how many times your video watched. If anyone can pull his ccv, watch hours or watch time, even with let's say 10k subs, they should get similar numbers
It's great. Remember, the reason management doesn't want people to share their salaries/pay is that employees might find out how many diverse ways they're getting bamboozled.
true, but he made most of the money from people watching the vod (not live viewers). this won't be the same for most people, unless you have 16M subs too
It’s pretty nuts man. I give him props tho at least he is brave enough to show his viewers what he makes and I don’t see him making videos in a Lamborghini or McLaren I can’t stand that shit. When they make these videos showing off stuff they have only earned because of their fans but love to rub it in their faces.
He revealed his bread and butter Vegas-based editing process, complete with single timeline for numerous videos technique.....now he's going over real numbers. My respect has never been greater for Chargglez Firecaster
That RPM is INSANE. The numbers on TH-cam look astronomically bigger in comparison (viewership aside) because advertisers are bidding for you and your channel at a wild CPM. I've been at around a $4-6 RPM since I started full time. So 1 million views for me would make about $5,500, while a million views for you would be $15,000-17,000.
That’s simply cuz his streams are like 3-4hrs long with the potential for so many ads in them. Streaming is the wave these days tbh, we need to start taking it seriously
@@quandaledingle8687 I mean, one does not be to be super famous to earn a comfortable living. And if one is not completely brainrotten one should be able to "retire" at some point.
@akopowerletsplay3884 to be honest it's good once you have the money to spare This vid provided really good and insightful information Quality is Quality
@@sunrosec Not sure if it still applies but it used to be against youtube policy to discuss revenue and income is probably why most dont. Reasoning was the drama of 'this creator gets favors and better deals than the other creator' but youtube changes stuff so much I don't know if that still applies but ya one reason youtubers didn't used to talk about it much is it can get your channel nuked.
Every time he says “I’m not special, just lucky” increases my respect for him even more as he understands what people feel Edit : the classic luck vs hard work debate has begun in the comments. The reason behind my comment was it’s a combination of both and he understands that. I’m sure there are a lot of people who worked way harder than Charlie but are nowhere near the amount of success he has achieved and I believe that’s his thought process behind saying that as well
It’s part of what makes him so likeable. We’ve all known someone like him. Like a good guy finally winning type thing. Especially in todays climate where everyone that’s famous is usually very unlikeable
that’s not what i feel since i think his personality and humility is what makes me like him. luck may be a factor, but at the end of the day, it’s charlie.
People seem mindblown by the numbers and it's understandable. And definitely props to hin for sharing and being transparent. But guys, realise he's been doing this for almost 2 DECADES. He picked up a camera and filmed his first video back when he was 13, and now he's 30. I'm seeing a lot of people hating too, so you think it's unfair or ridiculous, then go try grab the bag for yourself. No one is stopping you. It's a free marketplace. If you're confident it's an easy job, then you should have no issues gaining viewership. Complaining only makes him more money by providing it with engagement.
I'm terrible and have had TH-cam Premium so long it was called Red. Not having ads on TH-cam for over a decade has insulated me from just about any other platform. I appreciate streams on TH-cam!
TH-cam Revanced on my Mobile and Adblocks and SponsorBlocks on my PC I choose what channels i want to watch ads on and support, forcing me to do something makes me f*cking hate you with a passion.
@@cameroncorrosive925same. I don’t feel bad for paying for it, it’s the ONLY “streaming service”(besides ps plus if ya count it) I pay for and there’s a yearly option, unlike Netflix Hulu and every single streaming service that I know of that makes me pay monthly.
@quistador7 why are you in every reply soiling your pants lmao. Ofc he made that much money but why is it sickening? I wont say he worked really hard for it but as he said, he got lucky. So stop giving a fuck about his income and make yours.
That eye tracking ad thing is literally in a black mirror episode, except when you look away, the ad blares RESUME VIEWING at max volume with a high pitched noise
As someone who exclusively watches streams and has no interest in any community, TH-cam is the far better viewing experience. Ads arent as invasive, I can rewind when I miss something, quality is far better because the bitrate isnt capped and so much more
I would say the whole point of livestreaming is being part of a community lol. I never truly used Twitch because I am more a VOD person myself, so having the ability to easily find a VOD is a big boon to me. The only time I ever used twitch was maybe once or twice when Mutahar would stream on there, but even then since I was watching on my TV through a game console I wasn't able to easily chat. With TH-cam when I do watch a livestream I can easily pull out my mobile phone to type in the chat. Can't comment on chat functionality, but can say with 100% confidence if it wasn't for youtube VODs no way would I have ever become a fan of VineSauce Vinny since I don't think I have ever actually seen any of his livestreams live lol.
Same here. There's streamers I've been watching for 10+ years and have never commented a single thing in their chat. It's funny to me when people say the whole "point" of streams is community. The point is what you want it to be. It's just entertainment like any other media to me and TH-cam works way better for that currently
I will say, for vertical streams on YT I've found that the superchats are actually REALLY high. I make more from donations on live vertical streams than I do on Twitch.
From what I've seen between each platform, there's more audience on TH-cam, yet there's more retention on Twitch. TH-cam = Growth Twitch = Community This is from what I've seen, and I'm still pretty new to both, so it may be different for you. Best of luck to you all!
youtube equals growth in terms of not steaming in terms of streaming twitch is better for growth its like impossible to find people streaming on youtube, let alone people your subbed to. TH-cam is more community because your built in audience will come watch you stream random people arent really finding you on here.
@@lbonvillain-wm4dsdepends. And TH-cam chat is still worse, the fact that it defaults to Top Chat instead of Live Chat for one is already a big negative. Nobody even know how Top Chat works lol
The best part about TH-cam streaming for me, as a life-long VOD gang, the VODs never expire! With Twitch, the streamer (or someone in the community) needs to run a VODs channel (which usually cuts out chat as well) because Twitch VODs expire after 2 months. Both VODs have chat which is great but the longevity of TH-cam VODs just makes it win out for me.
Charley has doctored the numbers… no one is making that sorta money. Not even the king Mr Beast… lot of contestants come out and said they win no money but have to sign NDA’s
Not even a year lol. Where I'm from a good yearly salary is 7200€-8500€. So basically for me he just made a 10yr salary in 4hrs. Times have changed. Never work a 9 t 5 job anymore.
Thank you for this information. Us new streamers and content creators need people like you every once in a while to have these discussions. You should do this every 3yrs for more candid discussions and understanding of the current market of streaming and content creation.
Well, honestly, it's THE technique. I'm looking at a streamer who has about 500 viewers per stream and only streams from time to time, one day he shown his salary on stream and he earns $20K a month JUST from ads. I can give you the name, the clip is available on TH-cam. Ads pay extremely well that's why so many streamers runs them a lot
TH-cam also pushes long streams when you have autoplay on at night. I've fallen asleep with TH-cam on, only to wake up to a Charlie Dark Souls VOD playing for the third time.
Be careful with that, that counts as super-engagement and will really mess up your recommendations. Make sure to go into history and remove the streams you don't want.
@@ThatArbiterGuy Make sure you go for both ears and not one. That's why Vincent Van Gogh didn't see a dime in his life and died poor. Go hard or go home.
more like sickening. He's making almost $1,000,000 a month. $12,000,000 a year for at the very least the last 5 years. Charlie has made almost $100,000,000 in the last 5 years
Bro it'd take me a little over 3.25 years to earn the same amount as his one stream 😭💀 That's on a salary that'd be considered in top 5% in my country.
It feels like every video that I finish watching Moist is always next up. Either his Dark Souls Remastered, Starfield, or that Crab dark souls game lol
@@phantomfantasialol the algorithm has finally understood you🤯🤯 it probably realises there is a very high chance that you click on it and watch a long time then😂
This is really insane. To think that the 80k would be life changing for me, and someone made it in 4 hours playing Starfield. Can't hate the player. Congrats!
@@Capdollar Much more than just charity, he pays his "staff" (friends), funds his esports team, pays for any overhead such as the warehouse and any costs to make the vids in the first place, and more.
The way I see it, he didn't earn 80k in 4hours. He earned 80k (and much more) in 7 years dedicated to build his brand and community. It paid off in one go, and he's making bank. But the amount of work behind it is probably astronomical, so props to him.
why tf have I not been multi-streaming. Thanks so much for this video, its so refreshing seeing a creator like yourself be so open about how crazy this shit can really be. I couldnt even dream of numbers like these, but if anyone is watching this and doesnt have a fire under their ass to just TRY, then thats crazy. Much love bro.
Don’t let it put you down. Those numbers are very rare and to become as famous as Charlie is extremely hard. He’s just lucky but at least he isn’t one of those streamers who loves flaunting it in his fans faces.
@@Nedk82i was blown away lol. When i heard that i stopped studying and kinda made me depressed. Like it doesnt matter how much I study and get in college then study hard again, i will never make near as much as him
I've been multi streaming on YT, Twitch and Instagram. But for some reason Twitch doesn't send out notifications when I go live. I've tried multiple settings in my settings but it seems somewhat random. I'm hoping someone here may have an answer. Thanks for the video and information!
For how many unskippable ads play on twitch, I'm astonished how little revenue it earns the streamer. Makes me question where the money is actually going
@@RightBoyKA-POW i have never gotten ads when watching streams on youtube (so far atleast) while twitch i get bombarded by random one minute ads while everything is live, not to mention i cant skip it so i just miss a full minute of the stream just to see an ad. TH-cam is easily better to watch while live
I very much appreciate you being this forward with the money aspect. I kept wondering where the ratio lied but you're the only provider big enough to do this where the data sample is large enough to get a good feel for it. Again, thank you.
Vods are a great sleep to for me. Makes it so I know I won’t wake up to some random video but hopefully on the same vod or another from the same creator that will help lull me back to sleep.
@@Totttty55 First of all that is straight up not true. Secondly people don't hate insurance CEOs simply because they are rich but because of the exploitive nature of the healthcare system.
@@sammxn-w2v the reason is pretty obvious. People are less likely to donate if they know the person is a multi millionaire. Look at all the people in the comments that are somehow surprised at how much money a channel with over 10 million subs makes.
Another good thing with youtube is the fact a ton of people probably already have premium which lets us also watch all streams without ads and is better value than nitro
Agreed. Having YT Premium is like also having Twitch Turbo, Spotify Premium, CuriosityStream, and Quora Premium all-in-one, not to mention the usual entertainment, how-to's, and recipes. That's why I only have YT Premium and nothing else since I'm not into movies. It's good value when compared to others. (I still use AdBlock, since Premium doesn't work in Incognito, and to also block some annoying UI elements on desktop.)
As someone who doesn’t often interact with chat, TH-cam’s far superior video player makes me use it for streams more often. Especially since I have premium and can use it to play with my phone turned off.
I stream games on youtube, but I have not started twitch yet. I'm still confused on if I should start twitch or kick. Especially with GTA 6 coming. That's why I clicked this video.
@@RookSolis somehow my other comment got deleted but I’m still getting tagged in this. So I’ll say it again. If he’s buff you’ve never walked outside a day in your life.
Charlie casually made what I'd make over 4 years of a 9/5 while streaming a game for a couple hours. Jokes aside, this is super insightful! Thanks Charlie!
only if we could... I tried on different accounts streamed like 15 hours one time and yet barely in views streamed a whole weak of 8 hours each day, no views .. its dumb we really do just have to get lucky like playing the lottery
yea its insane i just hope i make 50 k a yr by the end of my life let alone 80 k thats insane to me . i live in Canada so thats about the equivalent of 100 k . absolutely insane to me . but hope i am not apart of an economic collapse and starve to death on the street but be happy i suppose :)
Yeah I rarely watch Twitch due to the ads and for some reason my ad block struggles with them, and I have TH-cam premium so it is even worse to watch on twitch because youtube premium helps with every channel and also gets you TH-cam music for free
@@datmantj7 Haha, that's how it feels. I do have premium and it's wider how bad TH-cam is without it. But also how awesome it is with premium. Also yt music is good.
@@stasi0238 even without premium TH-cam is way better than twitch especially on ads most TH-cam ads can be skipped after5 seconds meanwhile twitch ads is unskippable I experience 3 minutes ads (2 1 and half minutes ads) and it's one of the most bullshit thing I've experienced
I had to constantly remind myself that Charlie is a very popular content creator and that these are not normal views and earnings, because people don’t usually show their earnings and Charlie’s are INSANE.
Charles has also been streaming consistently for years. Routine is important in content creation and whatever one may choose to do, continue to do it regularly, post consistently and the algorithm may share the video more. Not like i have any experience, but thats what all the big creators have said, never give up, just stick it out and your chances increase.
I imagine the vods make so much because of people falling asleep to TH-cam, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve woken up for school and your streams are on, the same streams too I’ve “seen” your dark souls 2 vods probably hundreds of times while I was sleeping
the same happens to me, I'm never sure how soon it goes from the normal 10-15 minute length videos to the 4+ hour streams on vod. Part of me thinks TH-cam know you've fallen asleep from the number of videos that multiplay so it switches to longer content to reduce how much is paid out (I'm guessing a 4 hour stream vod doesn't pay 12 times more than a 20 minute video to the creator)
@@BuckTurgidson-nw7ykWhenever I listen to music on my phone and don't touch the phone for like 15-20 minutes it pauses itself and asks if I'm still there. Seems like it doesn't do this for longer Videos.
@@BuckTurgidson-nw7yk Legit same shit to me. I ain't even gonna lie on this one. I go watch like 24 min video on growing weed(yes I know lol) and I somehow fall asleep because my hash joint shoots me in the nostrils and gets me higher than a hash cookie(never tried it) and then I fall asleep and wake up 4 hours later, I go rewind and I see there was like 2 streams that was on while I was sleeping. Bruh TH-cam, are you in my brain, my man?
On TH-cam streams, an ad just wipes the smile off my face for a few minutes. On twitch, I got so mad that I uninstalled the app in like 2016 and have never opened it since. That’s how bad the experience is.
you can get ad free on twitch with adblockers or certain scripts, mobile is completely fked though. And its a constant cat and mouse game between the platform and adblock developers but atleast you can still watch for free without ads somehow
This doesn’t just apply to large creators too. Structuring your streams as VODs on TH-cam is fantastic. As a channel that just hit 20K subs, my largest livestream still made 1.5K. Just one stream out of so many more. It’s watch time that matters, not even viewership.
Two fun facts about twitch ads!!!!! If you turn an ad down to 1% volume twitch will turn the volume back up for the next ad... without moving the audio bar so it still says 1% but now you have a 100% volume ad, however dont think it will keep that volume when the ads end because twitch will then turn it back down to 1% for the livestream. Also if you mute a twitch ad and go to another tab on PC, twitch will pause the ad until you return!
A better fun fact about Twitch ads, there are countries that don't have them like Poland and the subscription of a good VPN is the same price of one Twitch sub. Can't chat though 'cus they blocked the VPN IPs from ban avoiding? Simple. Get Chatterino which is a chat client for Twitch channels, and then split tunnel it (look it up, basically it launches a program outside the active VPN so you connect to it with your own IP), and there you go. Adfree Twitch for every channel on the site with chat.
I have multiple tabs of a few twitch streams open at a time and I use my browser to mute the tab rather than the actual in-video audio slider... I do this because I ASSUME it helps the streamer but I guess I don't honestly know. I wonder if people do the same thing for me at all but it all just shows as me basically having no viewers regardless. At least it's just a hobby for me rather than a particularly serious attempt to shift my income.
Keep in mind, that 80k is over a 4 month period. The 20k is revenue generated since April. While these are extremely impressive numbers you have to factor in Charlie's view count on top of the fact that it was generated over a period of time. We're talking months. That's quite a long time. It's not like he printed that number in a day. And keep in mind, Charlie is one of the largest content creators out there. There are infinite ways to make a lot of money, and this is one of the hardest industries to break into. It's over saturated, the payouts aren't consistent (higher/lower depending on content, sponsor friendliness, etc), and it's extremely time consuming. Don't try to follow in Charlie's footsteps just for the money seeing his statistics unless you truly love content creation and would love to continue doing it for an average salary for another decade with the slim chance of hitting it big.
personally I prefer youtube because it is more “simple” and transparent where twitch pushes me off by puting a lot of pressure on monetization because wherever I look on any strim I see “subs, bits, gifts, points etc” and not to forget about the rewinding option which is a deal breaker when twitch stream sudennly decides to freeze and then show me an error so i lose plot damn it
10:35 100% agree, I would rather wait for the TH-cam video rather than watch a twitch stream that’s filled with 10 consecutive ads and it ends up being 70% ad and 30% what I’m there to watch
@@just_UwU_ing that's not how it works. to actually grow and gain visibility you must be consistent. On TH-cam during the 9 years I was semi-active I got between 3-5 views per video with a few oddballs getting more, now I average 10-20 with about a quarter of my videos uploaded getting 50+, and that's because over the past year my consistency has become a LOT better. you cant post a video of a wall and expect it to blow up.
It’s his most paid stream not like every time he streams for 4 hours he makes 80k and even if you jumped 10 years ago if you didn’t get lucky you would make 0
@jskyler5422 Open any twitch game category and keep on scrolling. All these 99%+ streams with 0-10 viewers would be probably you. I'd argue it's easier to win a lottery than starting a streaming career now, unless you are really good at a game or extremly entertaining, which nobody would even know, because nobody would check on a 1 viewer stream.
if we know someone makes a million dollars a month playing video games we are less likely to give them money, charlie is just at the point of doing it for 10 years that he doesn't give a shit anymore, this video is probably just him needing an ego boost cuz hes short and boasting about making our yearly salaries playing a shitty video game for 4 hours.
this is a great point, i usually watch vods on youtube that are re uploaded from fan channels, i wish more streamers posted their own vods here to get the double bag
Love hearing the most realistic conversations when doing live and some good awesome pros and cons of doing multistream! I plan on doing that in my next Livestream, and do my first on TH-cam only. W video! I will try that out and come back if it is something I am willing to keep going! I plan on becoming a streamer and uploader since streaming is now a thing to do nowadays

@@sunrosec Not sure if it still applies but it used to be against youtube policy to discuss revenue and income is probably why most dont. Reasoning was the drama of 'this creator gets favors and better deals than the other creator' but youtube changes stuff so much I don't know if that still applies but ya one reason youtubers didn't used to talk about it much is it can get your channel nuked.

I love how transparent, open and honest this video is, massive respect
Thank you unit, very nice comment
Every time he says “I’m not special, just lucky” increases my respect for him even more as he understands what people feel
Edit : the classic luck vs hard work debate has begun in the comments.
The reason behind my comment was it’s a combination of both and he understands that. I’m sure there are a lot of people who worked way harder than Charlie but are nowhere near the amount of success he has achieved and I believe that’s his thought process behind saying that as well
It’s part of what makes him so likeable. We’ve all known someone like him. Like a good guy finally winning type thing. Especially in todays climate where everyone that’s famous is usually very unlikeable
@viewmycommunitytab "I'm not a big discussion enthusiast, I'm just a guy talking about stuf I've seen. Who cares if I'm misinformed?"
I didn't know twitch has ads. That sucks.
that’s not what i feel since i think his personality and humility is what makes me like him. luck may be a factor, but at the end of the day, it’s charlie.
@@thuggwaffle8825 its easy to say "im not special, just licky" it doesnt mean anything
People seem mindblown by the numbers and it's understandable. And definitely props to hin for sharing and being transparent. But guys, realise he's been doing this for almost 2 DECADES. He picked up a camera and filmed his first video back when he was 13, and now he's 30.
I'm seeing a lot of people hating too, so you think it's unfair or ridiculous, then go try grab the bag for yourself. No one is stopping you. It's a free marketplace. If you're confident it's an easy job, then you should have no issues gaining viewership. Complaining only makes him more money by providing it with engagement.
There’s no point in hating. This is Charlie’s career
yeah lets see if you get 84k a day in a 20-year career of a 9-5
I'm terrible and have had TH-cam Premium so long it was called Red. Not having ads on TH-cam for over a decade has insulated me from just about any other platform. I appreciate streams on TH-cam!
same, the stream service could use some updates but the quality is nice, and the no ads for any live stream or video is excellent.
You could also get Twitch Turbo to get rid of ads. Works the same

@@cameroncorrosive925same. I don’t feel bad for paying for it, it’s the ONLY “streaming service”(besides ps plus if ya count it) I pay for and there’s a yearly option, unlike Netflix Hulu and every single streaming service that I know of that makes me pay monthly.
Ditto. All these people complain about ads, and I'm like, what ads?
Multistreaming has been incredible for me. But I also switched off of Facebook so either was an upgrade for features

@@jad.-yn01 super weird dude xD
That eye tracking ad thing is literally in a black mirror episode, except when you look away, the ad blares RESUME VIEWING at max volume with a high pitched noise
As someone who exclusively watches streams and has no interest in any community, TH-cam is the far better viewing experience. Ads arent as invasive, I can rewind when I miss something, quality is far better because the bitrate isnt capped and so much more
I would say the whole point of livestreaming is being part of a community lol. I never truly used Twitch because I am more a VOD person myself, so having the ability to easily find a VOD is a big boon to me. The only time I ever used twitch was maybe once or twice when Mutahar would stream on there, but even then since I was watching on my TV through a game console I wasn't able to easily chat. With TH-cam when I do watch a livestream I can easily pull out my mobile phone to type in the chat. Can't comment on chat functionality, but can say with 100% confidence if it wasn't for youtube VODs no way would I have ever become a fan of VineSauce Vinny since I don't think I have ever actually seen any of his livestreams live lol.
@@TheCommanderTaco The point is entertainment, and I find some streamers entertaining so I watch them. I have no desire to be an active chatter
@@TheCommanderTaco Thats why ChatReplay is good for streamers to utilize on YT.
@@AveryDoors no way we found a sane livestream watcher
Same here. There's streamers I've been watching for 10+ years and have never commented a single thing in their chat. It's funny to me when people say the whole "point" of streams is community. The point is what you want it to be. It's just entertainment like any other media to me and TH-cam works way better for that currently
I will say, for vertical streams on YT I've found that the superchats are actually REALLY high.
I make more from donations on live vertical streams than I do on Twitch.
True, Shorts streams go fucking ballistic with how much the algorithm is pushing them.

hi swamp LMAO
Do you multi vertical stream on tiktok so you can compare those too?
From what I've seen between each platform, there's more audience on TH-cam, yet there's more retention on Twitch.
TH-cam = Growth
Twitch = Community
This is from what I've seen, and I'm still pretty new to both, so it may be different for you. Best of luck to you all!
youtube equals growth in terms of not steaming in terms of streaming twitch is better for growth its like impossible to find people streaming on youtube, let alone people your subbed to. TH-cam is more community because your built in audience will come watch you stream random people arent really finding you on here.
youtube has much better quality, speed + free to playback
eh. creators seem to respond more on youtube than twitch
@@lbonvillain-wm4ds but twitch chat responds faster than youtube chat
@@lbonvillain-wm4dsdepends.
And TH-cam chat is still worse, the fact that it defaults to Top Chat instead of Live Chat for one is already a big negative. Nobody even know how Top Chat works lol
2:24 I think Charlie meant to say 11.1k and not 11.7k. Unless he's combining both TH-cam and Twitch.
He made a mistake here? Fr?
The best part about TH-cam streaming for me, as a life-long VOD gang, the VODs never expire! With Twitch, the streamer (or someone in the community) needs to run a VODs channel (which usually cuts out chat as well) because Twitch VODs expire after 2 months. Both VODs have chat which is great but the longevity of TH-cam VODs just makes it win out for me.
What does VOD stand for, please educate me?? Like I know what it is, just can't figure out the acronym. Thank you for your time. 😊

The ads are absurd on twitch, I tune into someone with 500 viewers that I have never checked out before and get 8 ads then I just leave the channel.

Well, honestly, it's THE technique. I'm looking at a streamer who has about 500 viewers per stream and only streams from time to time, one day he shown his salary on stream and he earns $20K a month JUST from ads. I can give you the name, the clip is available on TH-cam. Ads pay extremely well that's why so many streamers runs them a lot

TH-cam ads are just easier to consume as a viewer. Most are literally only 5 seconds then the option to skip.

I had to constantly remind myself that Charlie is a very popular content creator and that these are not normal views and earnings, because people don’t usually show their earnings and Charlie’s are INSANE.
Charles has also been streaming consistently for years. Routine is important in content creation and whatever one may choose to do, continue to do it regularly, post consistently and the algorithm may share the video more. Not like i have any experience, but thats what all the big creators have said, never give up, just stick it out and your chances increase.
Mad Respect for this bro! You didn't have to show us the numbers
I imagine the vods make so much because of people falling asleep to TH-cam, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve woken up for school and your streams are on, the same streams too I’ve “seen” your dark souls 2 vods probably hundreds of times while I was sleeping
the same happens to me, I'm never sure how soon it goes from the normal 10-15 minute length videos to the 4+ hour streams on vod.
Part of me thinks TH-cam know you've fallen asleep from the number of videos that multiplay so it switches to longer content to reduce how much is paid out (I'm guessing a 4 hour stream vod doesn't pay 12 times more than a 20 minute video to the creator)
You can turn off autoplay, just so you know.
@@BuckTurgidson-nw7ykWhenever I listen to music on my phone and don't touch the phone for like 15-20 minutes it pauses itself and asks if I'm still there. Seems like it doesn't do this for longer Videos.

Bruh TH-cam, are you in my brain, my man?
The only thing is that TH-cam claims copyright with the vods when on twitch they automatically mute the copyrighted content
TH-cam is the best watching experience, no 5 minute ad segments

you can get ad free on twitch with adblockers or certain scripts, mobile is completely fked though. And its a constant cat and mouse game between the platform and adblock developers but atleast you can still watch for free without ads somehow
This doesn’t just apply to large creators too. Structuring your streams as VODs on TH-cam is fantastic. As a channel that just hit 20K subs, my largest livestream still made 1.5K. Just one stream out of so many more. It’s watch time that matters, not even viewership.
Discoverability is way better on Twitch. TH-cam never shows me streamers. You earned another sub because I checked out your streams.
Two fun facts about twitch ads!!!!! If you turn an ad down to 1% volume twitch will turn the volume back up for the next ad... without moving the audio bar so it still says 1% but now you have a 100% volume ad, however dont think it will keep that volume when the ads end because twitch will then turn it back down to 1% for the livestream. Also if you mute a twitch ad and go to another tab on PC, twitch will pause the ad until you return!
A better fun fact about Twitch ads, there are countries that don't have them like Poland and the subscription of a good VPN is the same price of one Twitch sub. Can't chat though 'cus they blocked the VPN IPs from ban avoiding? Simple. Get Chatterino which is a chat client for Twitch channels, and then split tunnel it (look it up, basically it launches a program outside the active VPN so you connect to it with your own IP), and there you go. Adfree Twitch for every channel on the site with chat.
I have multiple tabs of a few twitch streams open at a time and I use my browser to mute the tab rather than the actual in-video audio slider... I do this because I ASSUME it helps the streamer but I guess I don't honestly know. I wonder if people do the same thing for me at all but it all just shows as me basically having no viewers regardless.
At least it's just a hobby for me rather than a particularly serious attempt to shift my income.
This has never happened to me and I do it every time I get an add on twitch.
@@FFAFANBOY congrats you dont have to deal with dogshiet
Really appreciate you diving deeply into this and being so transparent.
Keep in mind, that 80k is over a 4 month period. The 20k is revenue generated since April. While these are extremely impressive numbers you have to factor in Charlie's view count on top of the fact that it was generated over a period of time. We're talking months. That's quite a long time. It's not like he printed that number in a day. And keep in mind, Charlie is one of the largest content creators out there.
There are infinite ways to make a lot of money, and this is one of the hardest industries to break into. It's over saturated, the payouts aren't consistent (higher/lower depending on content, sponsor friendliness, etc), and it's extremely time consuming.
Don't try to follow in Charlie's footsteps just for the money seeing his statistics unless you truly love content creation and would love to continue doing it for an average salary for another decade with the slim chance of hitting it big.
It's actually more than 4 months, it's a year and 4 months, the graph starts at August 2023.

On TH-cam during the 9 years I was semi-active I got between 3-5 views per video with a few oddballs getting more, now I average 10-20 with about a quarter of my videos uploaded getting 50+, and that's because over the past year my consistency has become a LOT better. you cant post a video of a wall and expect it to blow up.
Ironically getting this recommendation right before multi streaming myself. This is the greatest psychic summoning of all time. applause charles👏🏾
This was so helpful bro 🔥🔥🔥
the amount of ads on twitch is completely unacceptable
the fact you made almost 80k from just a single 4 hour stream is fucking nuts and makes me soooo wish I jumped on the train way earlier
It’s his most paid stream not like every time he streams for 4 hours he makes 80k and even if you jumped 10 years ago if you didn’t get lucky you would make 0
@@Insane.Drivers He still makes $10,000-$20,000 a day. And he's been making that amount for the last 5 years.
its still not too late tbh , better late than never starting..
@jskyler5422 Open any twitch game category and keep on scrolling. All these 99%+ streams with 0-10 viewers would be probably you. I'd argue it's easier to win a lottery than starting a streaming career now, unless you are really good at a game or extremly entertaining, which nobody would even know, because nobody would check on a 1 viewer stream.
you're the only guy on youtube who'd give us the actual numbers and not bullshit us
if we know someone makes a million dollars a month playing video games we are less likely to give them money, charlie is just at the point of doing it for 10 years that he doesn't give a shit anymore, this video is probably just him needing an ego boost cuz hes short and boasting about making our yearly salaries playing a shitty video game for 4 hours.

@@paxconsciente3352 bro wtf are you talking about.
this is a great point, i usually watch vods on youtube that are re uploaded from fan channels, i wish more streamers posted their own vods here to get the double bag

Whoa black shirt
Love hearing the most realistic conversations when doing live and some good awesome pros and cons of doing multistream! I plan on doing that in my next Livestream, and do my first on TH-cam only. W video! I will try that out and come back if it is something I am willing to keep going! I plan on becoming a streamer and uploader since streaming is now a thing to do nowadays
No one lets people in to this info like you man. Wild for this and we all appreciate you setting a standard of openness with how the business works
I appreciate your openness Charlie.
This streaming situation is crazy
I appreciate this video a lot, been thinking of live streaming my 3D process
This video and the numbers made me question my existence and life.
yep celebreties make bank
