I'm genuinely intrigued as I know he is one of the more popular
Mwo streamers and content creators but even still with YouTube and
Twitch the Amount of subs plus viewers on both Platforms + income
From that which I know isn't alot at all. How the heck is he doing this
Full time? Everyday many times a day sometimes. More than anyone. Baraduls
Schedule makes sense to me as he does his early and it's a match or two.
But He has alot more years behind MWO and subs videos that have gained him income
So I'm just asking the question that I never see asked. How can you play MWO
Everyday all day long without having Enough subs for certain platforms to even
Consider paying Enough to Let's say for example just pay rent or bills?
I'm asking because if there is some secret and little channels on games like Mwo
That don't have the traffic like other games can make it.
Screw it. Basically I'm asking How the hell can I quit my day job
And play MWO all day everyday? Full time without having a Job.
Cuz that's Just a dream of mine. Jealousy confusion and Not understanding
How one can do that is bothering me. Unless I'm missing something, no way there is time to squeeze in a job on the side with that. And he isn't in a wheelchair right? Ttb how ya doing that?
Sincerely A Dreamer

Maybe he has other sources of income and Streaming is only additional income while having fun gaming.

That's an interesting first post you've got there OP.

It would be interesting to hear 'TTB's answer on this one.

I'm guessing the streamer has multiple income streams and lots of investing secrets. When I went to art school they very briefly mentioned that we should have multiple income streams too without giving any details on how. Perhaps he is a paid sponsor of products adverting and giving a promo code for xx off a trial member ship or first order.

Many streamers I watch do that while their channel streams non-video game topics. Some just do an affiliate program with a lower third and link to sponsor's product's page etc.

Hes older is he retired? or he could be getting good money from silly people who throw money at anyone on youtube..

Okay... Seeing where this is starting to go, I think it's time that I forcibly got 'TTB' involved in this discussion. They can't ignore a good ping, can they? (Somebody tell me they won't ignore this, please!?!) I'll just start by sourcing a Quote from their thread at https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/278972-beginner-questions-answered-every-sunday/ for a start...

MWO can be quite overwhelming to new players with all the choices and customization options available.

All questions are valid, and no one is going to make fun of you for asking.

...and as you can see, apply some snipping in order to not make it take a huge scroll. At this point, it is now just a matter of that crazy-yet-apparently-interesting 'TTB' hopefully being friendly, stopping by, and being willing to answer the question which '82nd Light Unicorn Div' has posted at the top of this Thread which we're all failing to properly discuss. After all, we know that 'TTB' himself is the only person who can answer this properly anyways!

As you've correctly surmised, he probably doesn't make enough income to live on from streaming.

Who is filling the gap - himself with other activities, relatives, sugar daddies, government largesse - we can only speculate.

Suffice to say the vast majority of people streaming any game do not have enough personality or skill in order to make enough to live off of it, and TTB is no different in that regard.
