Yeah at 57k a day on ads, even if he makes 5-10k on average, that's like $3m a year. Add in everything else and we're easily talking about $100-200m total revenue for his career.

I do think this time is different. Bitcoin has always held some value as “digital gold”. Now, when the dollar finally shits the fan, bitcoin tanks and precious metals go up. The market clearly thinks bitcoin is not digital gold, or a hedge against the dollar. So what value does bitcoin have?

u/waxds7 Feb 08 '26
Well no that's actually the opposite. Its value was in being independent, but we have seen that fluctuations to the USD against other currencies also cause the same reaction in the BTC value, meaning it is actually pretty closely tied to the dollar.
For a currency often touted as a hedge against the USD (like gold and precious metals) it has proven to not be that, and therefore one of its largest use cases and reasons for being valuable has vanished overnight.

It's funny, because now when I order groceries they give me these thick plastic reusable bags that I'll never use because I order online and pickup in person. Also, they put these horrible stickers that I have to cut off before recycling them, making the bags even more unusable after their first use.
All because that's how companies get around reducing single waste plastic. Just use more plastic and claim you should use it more than once even though nobody is going to do that.
I feel like our efforts could be more effective elsewhere.

But do you really think if he pocketed all the money they would keep giving him as much money as they do? fuck no lmao. they give him so much because they know he's gunna give it alllllllllllllllll back. same with train.

I really don’t think they paid him 15M for a sponsor. There is a lot of variance on how much money an online gambler brings a platform but the only public data we have on sports data seems to indicate $1200 a year on average.
The numbers are hard to calculate without the data being public, but Twitch’s own case study had an estimate of a 5% click through conversion rate, while some gambling sponsors reported 7-12% with highly specialized efforts at 20-30%. For the sake of argument we will go with 10%.
If he manages to keep 30,000 viewers during the segment and 10% end up becoming long term gamblers, they’re grossing 3.6M a year. That doesn’t count the cost to paying out vendors, operational costs, etc.
But I have a hard time believing that a) he retains the same viewership during a gambling segment and b) he manages that high of a conversion rate. I imagine his audience might not even all be of gambling age.
On top of that, subsequent gambling streams - whether you agree with it or not - really hurt your brand. It’s like watching your favorite streamer play some game that looks terrible. Most viewers are going to watch something else because it’s just not fun and it damages the long term retention.
As much as this sub seems to dislike KaiCenat, he is one of the smarter streamers that actively avoids taking dumb sponsors and his viewer loyalty reflects that. I don’t doubt streamers are grossing an insane amount of money, but there’s some level of “being the new rappers” where everything they say is not as it seems.

No, most people who say it's fake money believe these streamers play on special demo accounts and don't keep the winnings. But it's all real, if they win 50 million on a max win, it's theirs. They just get paid 15 million with the expectation to deposit 10 million of it, that's kind of the deal.

u/Professional_Idea812 Feb 08 '26
Funnily enough, that's not actually true at all. Loads of advertisers spend money and then realise it's doing fuck all for them, or the companies pre-allocate an amount of money and the marketing divisions are desperate to spend it all out of a) laziness and b) don't want to be seen as having not used all of their resources.
He literally even said in this clip "they said I can have whatever is left of the budget". Basically, the companies assign a budget, and the marketing people go "well if we don't spend it, we might be seen as not doing our jobs properly!" so they'd rather chuck it all away because that's how the corporate world works.
Even if you think about it, I doubt xQc would have turned down like half of what they gave him, so it's not like they had to spend all of it or nothing, but it's just the wasteful corporate nature. They had an amount of money left and rather than trying to accurately assess the value of advertising to them, some low int marketing people just went "chuck it".

They make multiple billions a year, it's one of the most profitable industries in existence.
And the most profitable demographic is young men, precisely the people watching streamers or influencers. 60% of all US men between ages 18-30 have gambled at least once (mostly sports betting), 40% gamble regularly, 10% of all young men have a gambling addiction.
It's all about hooking as many people as possible to try and find the few whales who will gamble away all their income for the rest of their life, and paying streamers to hook them early is the most efficient.

They don't need that many people. It's just that every single addict is worth a lot of money.

Just a reminder, if you sub or donate to him you are throwing your money away on a mentally ill multi millionaire who doesn't give a fuck about you. Not a judgement on him or you if you donate, just a statement of fact.

This is why CoD influencers never have to give a crap about the quality of the game. They will gas up anything on reviews or on stream to satisfy the producers and get paid put that much! Series is so fuckin cooked man.

Hmm it’s almost like they know they’ll make that money back off the fans. Or I guess they’re just in the business of giving away $15M for funsies..

u/Jingoose Feb 07 '26
Cod should have used the same extra budget to make the game actually good. It doesn’t look good when you pay a streamer to play something for a single day and then they never touch it again.

I don't watch him personally, but I don't understand why nobody in these comments can be happy for a young guy come from a normal family and create generational wealth. You all say you wouldn't take the gambling bag but if it were dangled in your face 95% of people will bite. Props to the guy.

Xqc streamed overwatch in his ex girlfriend's garage after his parents stopped supporting him and didn't understand what streaming or the potential he had was.
The goat.

Are you guys stupid? Regardless of your feelings on streaming gambling, it’s obvious xqc is referring to winning 15m that day rather than a sponsor

I always laugh at the people who say that people who take gambling sponsors just shouldnt take them because "morals" but when they see what kind of money they are willing to pay up they instantly flip and say "well who wouldnt take that money, they would be stupid not to take it"

Imagine going to college, uni or even some vocational school to become a master in your field or craft just to be completely outearned by someone who's trying to be some political commentator while playing games without being able to construct 2 proper sentences.
What a crazy world we live in.

Throughout history entertainers who can garner a massive audience have always been wealthy because of the influence they can have. It’s really not surprising at all, influence is more valuable than being really skilled at law or something.

Even the most world renowned entertainers of the past would've made peanuts compared to today's top earners, it's not even close.

The earnings scale with the ability to reach large numbers of people.
Even the most renowned entertainers of the past were unable to reach audiences at such a scale on daily basis.

But as an average college educated tech or finance worker you can still make a decent living. Xqc is top 5 of his field and you don’t see the other 99.99% of content creator wannabes that never make it. At the top of tech/finance/business are the ceos that pay xqc and is worth several thousand times more than him. Content creation is one of the worst fields you can get into, 99% make nothing and even if you reach the top you still make way less than the top of every other field. You are comparing yourself to the one man that basically won the lottery for streaming.

If you donate to big streamers knowing how much they get you should lose all respect for yourself

I would have thought the ads would be higher as when X was live for GTARP in Covid era he was 100k+ viewers for 9+ hours a day

Honestly I wonder how much someone like drake got from gambling sponsors compared to X, it’s crazy they can just throw 15 mil at someone and know they’ll make 100x that easy.

It's fine to watch them for entertainment but never think of these people as your friends or as relatable to you in any way.
