So that's why I saw Kripp playing League.

*hits pipe*

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than watching someone play videogames. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are wasting time . All the hard work you could of put into actually playing the game yourself....or perhaps learning new skills like painting, coding or studying literature. But instead all of it has one simple result: watching else someone play the game right in front of you. You spend hours upon hours talking to fuckwits in chat or typing some inane bullshit to get the streamers attention OR if you the MEGA KEK you actually give away REAL money to the streamer.

As a man who actually plays video games, you are LITERALLY wasting large chunks of your life simply to watch someone else play video games you enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically

OP was asking if the screenshot is real, it's not. Of course the bounty board is real, dipshit.

You're an idiot.

>if you "bash the game you're playing" you'll get banned
So you're literally a paid shill.

It doesn't matter for them because they're already established. Whereas anyone starting now will struggle to ever break out of single digit viewer counts.

its a shame reckful never committed suicide like he pretended to

How many followers do you need to get that kind of money?
I´m pretty sure you won´t get shit like this as a new streamer. Playing LoL for 8k per hours sounds like a dream.

OK said
>Is this shit real?
Obviously yes
Subject says
>Twitch Bounty Program
What fucking dimension are you from to be this obtuse?

followers don't really matter, genuine viewers do. most streamers only get a good amount of viewers when you're playing 1 game, variety streamers who get 15k+ for hours on end get these 'bounties'.

stream league of legends for 1 hour and get 8k. i just saw kripp playing lol like 6 hours ago. talk about making bank.

>how many viewers do I need to be justified being paid 4k for an hour's work
I suspect the answer would be "A Lot" user.
Sekiro had a bounty too, I remember people talking about it when it was released, but it sounded like it wasn't on this scale (I was browsing 200-500 viewer channels)

Its consistent viewers. For numbers like that you probably needs thousands based on what some streamers talk about with there deals.

At the upper end of streaming you could easily make half a years average salary for less than a weeks worth of work playing sponsored content

The minimum I've seen for bounties is something like $50 if you can maintain at least 100 viewers for the hour. If it's a linear scale, you'd need thousands of viewers beforehand, and ones who are going to stick around for the shilling. Also they're one time only and not reliably offered, so hardly a dependable income.

>subpar artwork via patreon
>low bar streaming bounties
>superficial influencing on social media
Well fuck, no wonder there's endless trash everywhere.

>easy $8,000
>doesn't do it
>literally begs for $4 donations
>"Streamers are going to be rich"
Yep, confirmed fake.

This is so ridiculous. I got my gall bladder removed and it was a one hour operation. How much did my surgeon earn for that hour? How many years has he spent in school and in training? He saves people's lives on a weekly basis and earns less than a retard playing children's games.. What the fuck man..

It has been there for a while. Im not sure how they calculate the pay, but apparently viewer count does matter. So what happen is if a streamer is interested in a bounty, all they have to do is to put #sponsor in their stream title FOR ONE HOUR while playing said game on stream and twitch will pay you money later once they‘ve done their math. Funny enough, the contract is only for one hour so theoretical you can spend an hour fucking around with character creation and once the times up you can straight up uninstall the game and they still have to pay you for that shit

You know I'd be fine with this if it were some unknown games that Twitch was trying to support, but this is just fucking jewery.

DisguisedToast, one of or possibly the most popular Hearthstone streamer revealed that he often gets offered 10k an hour to stream games.

Yep it's nothing new. Mobile game companies contact streamers all the time to shill their latest games. Even the shitty ones offer thousands of dollars.

The pricing definitely scales with the number of viewers. I know a streamer who averages 150 viewers, and his highest bounty was around $400 for an hour of playtime. For smaller bounties like two minute ads it was closer to the ~$50 dollar range. I have zero doubt in my mind that all the big streamers get paid thousands if not tens of thousands for things like this.

This shit makes streaming look so soulless.
Twitch was already bad enough, but this confirms that sponsored streamers can't bash the game and are forced to shill.

Is this really the comparison you want to use? I saw my dental insurance bill once and like an 8 second xray of my mouth apparently cost $480

Most of the huge streamers don't actually use this do they? They might use them occasionally for games / genres they already play (and of course there are the outside sponsored stuff like Apex) but I can't think of any major streamer switching games like every 2 hours to collect all these bounties.

Being good at games makes you less likely to be popular for the streaming format if anything.

free games? sign me up

>need to have x concurrent viewers

Oh boy.

Here's what's going to happen: Everyone will attempt this, stream the game and therefore create such an oversatured market that almost nobody will become eligible for the money because people will only watch 1-3 people out of 10000. This should be illegal, because you're making people work for the possibility of money, when realistically this will never be paid out.

>doesn't do it
first off, reckful's an autist, probably isn't interesting and couldn't care less
second off, he's already rich as fuck, even before being a streamer
for what fucking reason would you put up with garbage such as that for some cash you don't even need

Paying me that much for streaming a level 1 playthrough, filled with errors, and being a noob? I'm your shill!

What a complete stupid fucking moronic piece of retarded shit you are.

The xray machine alone is probably worth 50k+.

>what are sponsorships
a big channel can make five digits in a day from a sponsorship alone

What's with all the fags coming into our threads and making fun of streamers and Lets Plays? Streamers are are a great way to unwind when you don't want to play a game yourself and hanging out in chat and donating is the equivalent of going out with friends. I'm still in the company of people I like and instead of wasting money on stupid alcohol, I can donate to my favorite streamer and feel good knowing I'm furthering the career of someone that brings me great joy and a lot of entertainment. I mean, what's the difference between a small donation of $30-$50 and spending that at the bar? I don't feel like shit in the morning if I donate unlike the hangover I'll eventually have...

kill yourself you retarded frogposter

Not him, but that sounds pretty fucking capitalistic. That would mean they're breaking even after 100 customers, on a machine that you can write off every year with the IRS and get tax returns from, which lasts for decades.

>most huge streamers don't accept literally thousands of dollars basically for free, do they?
Excuse me user but are you retarded?

>living in the United States of Jewistan
Found your problem. It's basically free in first world countries.

You sad, lonely human being. Absolutely horrible.

Most streamers pander to a certain audience and will make more money doing what they regularly do than playing a game that they never play.

Thank god this is just terrible satire.

Can confirm this; my brother's friend has a huge following and makes big bucks doing nothing but streaming Rust.

He wants to branch out, but every time he tries, his viewership drops a fucking ton.

Getting money is productive you fuckin twat. How about you stop being a fuckin hater and get paid yourself.

I'm all 4 of those in my head.

What's the point of this thread? Paid shilling is nothing new on Twitch or even Youtube. Ninja got paid $1 million dollars from EA to play Apex Legends for a few hours on Twitch. Linus gets paid thousands to sponsor Corsair and RGB products to zoomers on YouTube.

They'll still get bounties for the game the mainly play. Also there's a lot of variety streamers.
Doesn't Ninja basically only stream fortnite? He still gets tons of sponsorships, probably also in form of bounties

>when they pay off the machine they'll start charging less

>streamer belittle his chat and calls them losers on a regular basis
>they still support him

>That video where destiny said he got paid like 3 grand for playing AC shit for an hour an trihex nervously laughing trying to get him to stop talking about it

It does baffle me just how much money these people are getting but it makes sense for advertisers to do it.
Why put an ad on a bus when you can beam it directly to the section of your urserbase that's the most likely to be shit with money.

I thought streamers have to make it discernable whether they are streaming sponsored content or not?

>implying you have to be any of those to be a popular streamer

Just stream a popular game, spout memes every now and then, and pretend like you actually care about the losers that donate bits and money to you.

>Watch streams while eating or as background noise while working
