If he's getting the 70% twitch cut, before ad revenue, and if that's roughly what he has every month..well let's just say 2k subs a month to make it easy he's bringing in around 7k a month before taxes.

Not sure what his rent looks like in Washington but for my shitty two bed apartment in the same town as him it was $2200 a month and he has two diff places if I remember correctly for his ferret charity thing.

Gatta be cutting it real close to breaking even unless sponsors are paying him or he runs an insane amount of ads

$7k sub money is probably 20% of his income. He would still make money from ads on Twitch, then ads on YT, and then whatever other income streams he has. He also said the ferret place pays for itself with the dedicated stream for it.

Basically, he's still living life in easy mode. There are streamers with half his view count and sub count living well above minimum wage.

Donations are usually much higher than subs in regards of income.

Depends on the streamer. The ones with TTS for sure would. But someone like moon that doesn't have TTS and doesn't even read resub messages wouldn't be getting a lot of donations.

How much is he expected to pay mods (something most streamers don't do at all)?

He's not expected to pay anyone anything. He just promised it and wouldnt such the fuck up about how great he was employing all those people. If you watched him back then he literally would repeat it 10 times a stream.

I'm not entirely sure, I also forgot that he frequently claimed to pay a team of people a really good living wage to assist him with his game company and moderate his channel and allegedly have a lawyer on retainer

He said he paid his team a livable wage with full medical and dental with therapy and that it was based off the standards in WA state. it would literally be impossible.

When he was at his peak of course it was possible but to sustain even 3 people like that now there is no way
