How does one hit the lottery of making a living playing video games?

I'm not talking about student loans, my business is that much in debt and every month the bank pulls in more money. At the same time there are companies who fucking robbed me by never paying for the products they ordered and the government protects them.

>take out a smoker or two first
They're going to die soon enough anyway
Take out some bicyclers instead.

Why smokers?

If anything take out a corporate shill or CEO of big oil or take out a large family that continues to breed uncontrollably they are far worse on the environment.

>Ninja
>charismatic
>appealing persona

Because they smell bad and are rude. Why not send a signal to other smokers

>or take out a large family that continues to breed uncontrollably
yes, goyim, stop trying to stabilise population growth and continue to dwindle away

post your face, commie

Have a personality that appeals to children. Loud, boisterous, obnoxious, yet confident. Being good at a particular game helps too.

there are people younger than him that make 10 times more by kicking a ball around
but somehow that's normal

>THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PEOPLE! WE'RE GONNA RUN OUT!
Why did you assume he meant a white family?

You gotta identify first if youre a natural attention seeking person. If yes, then you might be on to something

Then check if your current personality has enough charisma to entertain. If youre the type that gains a following of friends just by being yourself then you may just be charismatic enough.

If youre pretty much a boring sperg. Wear a mask, figuratively. Create a personality that can entertain. Most current streamers do this.

Eventually after a year youll either realize this isnt for you OR you become some niche streamer with nice youtube ad revenue.

>Also, overpopulation is meme
Fucking retard. The 3rd world countries are reproducing exponentially faster and faster while still being dependent on Western aid

They're literally a dying breed and ostracized by society already. Anyone stupid enough to continue with that shit in this day and age can't be reached.
Cyclers on the other hand need a message.

You answered it yourself, literally win the streamer lottery. Be at the right place at the right time. Acting a certain way gives you higher odds of winning said lottery. It's a business, and like many businesses, luck plays a manor role, then it's up to you to maintain that business. Bonus points if you're a woman.

He just so happened to join the LS I was in on Nasomi FFXI. He kept typing out twitch emotes and shit, and had a massive crew of people helping him do anything and everything, sucking his dick left right and centre. It was super weird...

That's a stupid question. The better question is how do you make a semi-sustainable living off Streaming games, or at the very least how do you make at least minimum wage from Streaming.

My guess is that the most important thing is having a good personality and finding a niche (fighting games, shooters, obscure games, latest PUBG knockoffs) and whatever your personality shtick is, be funny and engaging with the chat.

it's literally luck, ninja happened to be a popular halo professional and had a streaming following, then he got into the most popular game in the entire world and it exploded from there, he's not particularly charismatic, he's just pretty good at video games and got super fucking lucky, I can't see anyway to gather a viewership these days from nothing unless you absolutely shill everywhere and spend money into viewbots and marketing.

But Ninja is awkward and autistic as fuck.

>he's not particularly charismatic

This is the thing that really bothers me about most streamers, Ninja especially. They have the charisma of wet blankets yet people watch their shit for hours at a time and somehow get something out of it.

Either be good at a game or just be relatable, if your interests align with the people who are watching you they will stick around more, the hardest part is just getting noticed. People literally stream anything and get others to watch, like streaming watching youtube or whatever, fucking eating or talking.

Shroud

all that matters is his skill, that's the only reason I ever watched shroud, because he's godlike at shooting games, but ninja isn't as good as him and is even less funny. this is why the only good streamers are jerma, vinesauce (hit or miss sometimes) and northernlion

It's pretty much Paris Hilton syndrome. They're not popular because they're best, but somehow because they're popular, and it snowballs until everybody knows them despite being not really notable people.

This is wrong though, he makes much more. He makes like 500k from subs ALONE, this does not includes donations/sponsorships and merches sales. If anything ninja makes around a million a month + extra if people pay him to shill a new game

We need to put work into lowering their numbers instead of just trying to consume limited resources and space before they can.

I wish I could be rich for like a year. Like, be given unlimited money to do whatever I want and after a year I go back to being a shut-in NEET living off of neetbux.

if you're wishing, why not just wish to be rich forever

I'm not familiar with them, and I don't like Fortnite so I have even less interest in Ninja. But I do sometimes watch streamers like Shroud, Maximillian Dood, LobosJr, and some others because they're either very good at games I love, do interesting challenges, and/or are funny, genuine, and don't get involved with stupid gags or drama.

jerma is the most unpredictable streamer, he seems to make it a performance whenever he can and is genuinely funny, northernlion is the best background noise ever due to his banter, neither are good at games but they are entertaining.

What's your channel?

>How does one hit the lottery of making a living playing video games
Be handsome, clean your room, have a nice personality and get good in popular, trending games like Overwatch or Fortnite and stream while you play them.

no, seriously. and dont pay attention to tf2 drones who are mad their obscure game is dying and therefore shit on actually popular games. they're crabs and the bucket and unironically toxic.

Play video games
Which is why no one here on Yea Forums can do it.

ninja was a professional Halo player before he started streaming fortnite, and an extremely good and successful fortnite player as well. you can't just "get lucky" as a male, you have to be dedicated and extremely skilled as well.

also twitch 12 year olds seem to enjoy loud obnoxious asshole personas, so do that too.

Being Jewish probably helps

If you're a guy, look and act like a 12 year old and play games that 12 year olds like. Or look like a 12 year old and act like a smug cunt, since 12 year olds think that's cool.

Really, it's all about the 12 year olds (and their parents' credit cards).

You dont need any of that, several popular streamers with large view counts dont even use face-cam.

1)be good at a popular game
2)be funny and have a good sense of humor
3)be friends with somebody who is already popular
4)be a girl with massive tits, dont even need a good face

Have one of these and you will be good with enoug time given

Be charismatic
Be safe and marketable

For one guy like this there are thousands others who will waste their time trying to be like him.

Rather most of people here are jaded fucks that have consumed copious amounts of video game media to constantly point out flaws of games, their lack of creativity, half assed reworks/assets, boring and stale mechanics (read FROM soft games, BF franchise, ass creed and other,), microtransactions etc, you get the gist of it. Normies just don't like to see mostly negative people on stream, it shakes the foundation of their deluded life that they grew accustomed to even if in most cases it's shit.

Ninja has been a pro gamer since h2
I am happy at least that he got paid for sticking with it for so long

People have looked at the numbers though and guys still get a bigger ratio of views. Women it's kind of easier to attract a small base of viewers but growing to big levels is a whole other step for them. Even if you're hot as fuck you're not gonna grow if you're not entertaining.

I think the average for a 1 million view video is like $400. Maybe more with premium commercials and longer viewing times.

I would've wanted to do this if it wasn't for the fact that you'll definitely drop a nugget of molten metal on yourself one day and my deteriorating eyesight. The moment I heard about welders eye that made me drop all interest.

fake and gay

Really? That much money? I might start making them again.

northernlion is probably the most likable person on the internet

>the fact that you'll definitely drop a nugget on molten metal on yourself
user, you are aware the science behind welding, is literally bringing a metal up to it's melting point and no further. What i'm trying to say here is that, the metal INSTANTLY becomes a solid again once the arc leaves its radius. It's pretty neat to be honest, your basically taking a molten pool, and making it the size of your pinkie finger then moving it along. Hell, theres even fast freezing tools for welding to avoid compromising the pool itself from the atmosphere.

Also, welders eye literally only happens in like 80 year olds who refuse to wear proper protective equipment. Nowadays with auto darkening helmets, you literally don't need to put your helmet up unless your inspecting your weld, since the mid 2000's, welders eye is literally down 80% then what it was at before auto darkening helmets. Worst injury i've sustained is grabbing a piece of hot metal with my glove, it burnt the glove and made my fingers feel like they were right over a burner

Welding is the bees knees in the town where I live, every company that specializes in it shits out money around here, however I have zero interest in going into the trade, I already do electrician and plumbing work on the side, on top of my company's air conditioning and heating shit and my main take away is that I hate trades purely because
>clients are all cunts who throw a big hissy fit if you charge them for something no one else in the area is capable of doing right
>75% of the work is under shit conditions

Trades are fun as fuck, I love working with my hands and getting dirty and doing "manly" work 24/7. You just gotta strike the right balance
>Clients are cunts who throw a big hissy fit if you charge them for something no one else in the area is capable of doing
Just tell them to fuck off and go to a shop that'll probably charge them 3x as much
>75% of the work is under shit conditions
I won't deny that, but it's fun and it's challenging work thats unique every day. I love working outside in any condition
>90% of the people in the field are uneducated white trash with inferiority complex or stockholm syndrome
I don't like in the south so I can't verify, but most people in the trades as long as you don't work for a shitty shop know their shit. It's literally jobs you HAVE to know your shit in, or you'll fuck up, cost someone thousands, or probably die.

Come to think of it it's always been older welders that have talked about welders eye. How the fuck can someone not wear eye protection doing that? Would I be good if I can't even read this text from a foot away though, I have pretty strong glasses at just 27. The idea of going to college and knowing what the hell you wanted to freaked me out at 18, then I wasted 3 years flipping burgers part time until I moved out. The trade sector always interested me though, like I said I did have interest in learning to weld before. Fuck being an electrician though, I passed my last math class with a D-

How about sending the item only after getting paid? Or they have to sign a contract where payment for a product after being received must be received by 28 days. etc

Maximillion is not good at most games he plays. I'll give him credit for having a solid nightmare in SC2 but after that its dubious at best.

>How the fuck can someone not wear eye protection
Well, it was more of a circumstance of the time. Before the mid 2000's auto darkening helmets weren't common place nor did they exist. So, in order to strike an arc or see what the fuck you were doing, you had to flip your helmet up to see. So it became common practice amongst experienced welders to strike the arc and quickly throw their hood down. Of course, in that half a second your eye got the same amount of UV radiation as looking at the sun for 5 seconds.

Also, a foot away is very generous, you could probably do it. Hell, half my welds are done like a couple inches away from the plate as you need to watch a molten puddle and control it when it's about the size of your pinkie finger nail.
You also need very minimal math, like even blueprint reading requires fourth and fifth grade shit, nothing more. As this is a trade that needs to be done quickly and efficiently, not an office job.

I don't live in the US, which might be the reason why we have different perspectives on this. I really like electric work that has some degree of complexity, air conditioning is also pretty fun in an industrial scale, but that's about it. I live in a rural area so actually complex work is rare and we have to go around doing domestic work which makes me want to neck myself.
>Just tell them to fuck off and go to a shop that'll probably charge them 3x as much
We do this sometimes but we can only do it so much before we have to take into account that there are bills to pay at the end of the month.
>it's literally jobs you HAVE to know your shit in, or you'll fuck up, cost someone thousands, or probably die.
I've been to modern homes with no ground wiring, seen AC filters that were growing fungi and I've been told to cut through support beams for homes in order to save cash on tubing parts by the home OWNERS. Dealing with the people responsible for this shit burns me out, it's like they're purposely malicious.

>How about sending the item only after getting paid?
People will just go somewhere else, clients don't trust companies in the same way companies don't trust clients

This serves no purpose seeing as it doesn't do anything to combat the billing dodging people do, the social contract of paying for services already exists.

It's a comfy environment to be apart of, especially when you can work anywhere in the world as shit will always need to be welded and built.

>Falling for the auto tint meme

They split second they take to darken allows some light in. It isn't much but over time it can fuck your eyes up

You should just find a girlfriend that likes games

The split second it takes for you to flip your hood down fucks you even more. I've been welding for 20 years and have yet to see the effects of arc burning my retinas

Work in maintenance which is basically just... Handyman the trade. Holy fuck these people are just giant babies. Some guy had a belt fail on one of his machines and another maintenance guy went over there and screamed at him so much he had a fucking stroke. All they do is sit around and complain, then any time anything breaks it's oh god this shit why oh why do I have to do my fucking job

If these old fucks hate it so much go find another job

Shit around here has heavy regulations too, it's just that people are pretty good at dodging them and leaving the issues to whoever else comes next. It's just so tiresome.

Yeah. I just don't weld anymore. Shop uses thorium electrodes for our Tig but refuses to get a ventilator. Not trying to die of lung cancer so I just don't do it

1) Pick the most popular game.

2) Develop some stupid meme personality and "sub culture", maybe shout into your mic a lot.

3) Play until you fucking hate the game, until booting it up becomes an exercise in bitter torture.

4) Allow your meme personality to grow more and more toxic as this adds entertainment value, watch as the developers make exceptions and excuses only for you because you shill their game to thousands if not millions of retarded children.

5) Game still declines because the devs don't understand that these kids are mostly just watching you, not actually playing the fucking game.

6) Successfully destroy that which you hate, move on to next meal ticket game begging for your attention.

Because only one in ten thousands actually makes money with Twitch/YouTube by just LPs, and only few of them actually make big money.
The other big problem is that the "job" is volatile as fuck, one year you're the top 1 and the next you're forgotten.
Finally, even speedrunners get tired of playing video games so they usually take some rest, e-celebs like Ninja are not allowed to rest.
