Nadeshot, owner of the esports organization 100 Thieves, accidentally showed his Twitch earnings on the stream, revealing a staggering $240,000 haul for just one month. The leak has made the community wonder why streamers who are already rich still get money from subscriptions.
The breakdown of Nadeshot’s earnings is eye-opening. A whopping $71,000 came from ad revenue alone, while an even more impressive $116,700 was generated from gifted subscriptions. This means that a significant portion of his income stems from viewers paying for others to subscribe to his channel.
Many in the community are puzzled by the practice of gifting subscriptions to streamers who are already financially successful. One fan commented, “If someone’s making $240K a month, they’re not struggling.” After all, donations are there to support struggling creators.
Nadeshot, whose real name is Matthew Haag, is a former professional Call of Duty player who founded 100 Thieves. While he’s stepped back from his role as CEO to focus on content creation, his influence in the gaming world remains. His average viewer count of around 6,000 contrasts with his 47,000 subscribers. Nadeshot has some die-hard fans out there.
The leak also shed light on Twitch’s ad practices. Nadeshot’s channel reportedly runs nearly nine minutes of ads per hour. An extreme number, even for up-and-coming streamers.
