Speaker 1 (00:00):
So this study yesterday about how much the average streamer
made last year. I'm kind of interested in this because
my kids, like every kid would like to be a streamer.
That's what kids want to be now. I mean, there
are still kids, I suppose that want to be a
pro sports star or a musician or whatever, but practically
every kid wants to be a streamer. In fact, they
have pulling on that. Four out of five. Eighty percent

(00:22):
in general of gen Z and millennials consider streaming a
real job industry and something that they're interested in the
which is fine because it is a real job and
people do make money on it. In fact, it's They
did a poll and found that fifty one percent of
streamers have made money from it. The average person has

(00:45):
only made twelve hundred dollars in the last year, so
it's not like you're going to live on it. But
ten percent have made enough to consider quitting their job
to stream full time.

Are so yes, this is so is everything else where
You're going to have a cool job and make a
lot of money, so you know whatever. That is one
part of that that bothered me. The poll is it
going to be easy or not? Three quarters in the
gen Z generation said it'll be easy, while Baby boomers
were on the opposite side pretty much, with all of

(01:18):
them saying it's going to be hard. Ah, where is
this twitch? Send me the address. I am definitely telling
my kids that it is a real industry and it
is something you can do, but it is gonna don't
think it's going to be easy.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh no, I've heard it's incredibly stressful.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
But you know, again, a fun job that makes lots
of money, there's going to be something that there's a
reason you're making a lot of money. It's because you're
doing something very difficult that few people can do successfully.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Man, if it's something you have a passion for, though,
it would be a fun job and it's you know,
your own hours when you want to do it from home,
pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
