Moistcr1tikal, a well-known streaming personality, has recently highlighted the stark contrast in his earnings from Twitch compared to YouTube. The discrepancy is more significant than many may realize.
Throughout the years, various platforms have attempted to claim the title of the leading livestreaming service, with YouTube consistently making a case for its longevity. As exclusive streaming contracts begin to dwindle, many content creators are opting for multi-platform streaming. This shift has reignited the discussion about which platform reigns supreme: Twitch or YouTube.
Charlie, popularly recognized as Moistcr1tikal, has shared his insights on the matter. While he primarily distributes his content via YouTube, he has also engaged audiences on both platforms. He acknowledges that Twitch offers a highly interactive chat, whereas YouTube delivers a more seamless viewing experience.
Moistcr1tikal’s Impressive Twitch Earnings
For most streamers, the potential revenue is a crucial factor when choosing a primary platform. Moistcr1tikal’s experience reveals a significant earnings divide between Twitch and YouTube.
Reflecting on a memorable moment, he shared, “When Moist Esports won the Rocket League Major. The Spring Major. Still one of the best moments I’ve ever had streaming,” he recounted regarding his top Twitch performance.
During this particular stream, he reached a peak audience of 75,000 live viewers, generating an impressive $11.7K in total income. The revenue comprised around 2,000 subscriptions, primarily driven by ad revenue and a significant portion of Prime subscriptions.
Moistcr1tikal’s YouTube Earnings Breakdown
On YouTube, Moistcr1tikal’s revenue vastly outstripped that of his Twitch streams, with one notable broadcast pulling in over $84,000 during a Starfield session. However, it’s important to note that this amount was accrued over time rather than in a single transaction.
“$84,000 for a four-hour stream, just playing mid, poop, a** Starfield. This was like an insomnia, try not to fall asleep challenge, basically. $84,000!” he humorously remarked.
He clarified that the large sum wasn’t due to an influx of donations or memberships from his 31,000 viewers, stating, “This wasn’t the biggest documented case of credit card fraud and money laundering that the internet’s ever seen. In fact, the livestream itself made $1.6K on ads, and the other $78,000 came from the VOD, and the ads that played during the VOD.”
Moistcr1tikal earned $84K on a Starfield stream, but significantly, most of that revenue was generated after the live session.
In addition to direct streaming revenues, many streamers also secure sponsorship deals that augment their income; however, these partnerships typically extend over longer timeframes rather than being tied to a single stream.
