Christopher ‘Parasite’ Duarte, a former professional player for Call of Duty, publicly revealed his Twitch earnings for the previous month, shocking some viewers with the amount of money he has been making.
In recent years, streaming has emerged as a feasible career option for numerous content creators. While some may have to work harder starting from scratch, others have an advantage due to their previous experience as a YouTuber or professional esports player. However, achieving success on platforms like Twitch or Kick requires significant effort and dedication.
In order to generate more donations, improve ad revenue, and establish a large base of subscribers, it is essential to increase your regular audience.
Despite the fact that certain streamers, such as xQc, Pokimane, IShowSpeed, and Kai Cenat, consistently attract tens of thousands of viewers per broadcast and have earned millions, there are also smaller streamers who may only have around 1,000 viewers per stream.
During his August 8 broadcast, former Call of Duty pro Parasite leaked his Twitch earnings and confirmed that he fits the bill of a successful streamer. As the CoD World Champion, he revealed that he earned approximately $24,000 in the last month.
The majority of the income comes from advertisements, which contribute nearly $20,000. His number of subscribers generates approximately $3,000 for him. In response to a fan, he remarked, “Advertisements do not generate much profit.”
It was noted that the ad number was significantly high due to the former CoD pro streaming for a total of 272 hours with an average of just under 1000 viewers. This was a notable achievement for him, especially considering the success of XDefiant.
“It is unbelievable that streamers with only 300-500 viewers can earn $240k a year through ad revenue by streaming for 10-12 hours a day,”one viewer expressed. “When I see these numbers, I automatically assume they are using bots. Who would actually watch a stream with 25% of it being ads?”another individual commented.
Previously, streamers have observed that their Twitch contracts specify the number of advertisements they must broadcast during each stream. It is well known that ads generate substantial income, but having this fact reaffirmed may come as a surprise to some individuals.
