[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 8418594, member: 710"] I am not familiar enough with twitch and its offerings (even though I have an account, to which I changed my password now, and used them for some streams) to really put things into relation to each other. But Critical Role seems at least to involve a bigger production crew and all, so that doesn't sound [I]too [/I]unreasonable. What I don't know if the next few items on the list also have similar crews, or if there are really lone streamers that make a million or more... I kinda doubt it. I think the interesting component that kinda feels "worrying" about such sums is that there are people that are "donating" money to their favorite streamer - people that might have a much lower income than the guy they are watching. That kinda feels wong for a "donation". Not that I am not okay with giving someone my money if I really enjoy the content. Just the framing as donation seems misleading, it implies you're helping someone in need. You wouldn't go around asking for donations for the "trust fund millionaire orphan aid center"... Unless you're a millionaire or billionaire perhaps. [/QUOTE]
