I see more and more people mention this in my channel so I thought it would be a good idea to address this. Streaming does NOT mean you'll have big donations. [ THREAD ]

To say "wow that's a big donation, I should start streaming too" is pretty rude to say, building a community takes an incredible amount of work and time. Said community might not even have the funds to financially support. So it's never a guarantee.

I've been streaming on and off for almost 6 years. I was forced to make it (one of my 2) jobs because I am not allowed to find a job in Canada due to visa restrictions. Only last month have I become partnered. And I am definitely NOT rolling in cash (yet, I am determined)

I never started streaming for the donations. I started because I loved playing games with an audience. It feels like people hanging out with you while you play games. Something I've done for decades with my best friend.

I've gotten incredibly lucky and blessed with the community I've managed to build (I don't even feel like I can take full credit, they found me and decided to stay). They're a bunch of kind hearted, open minded, supportive individuals. Just wanted to give a little shoutout.
