Streamer Nmplol landed in trouble after claiming $20,000 a month isn’t a substantial amount of money. The comment came during a recent livestream, instantly drawing criticism from viewers and fellow streamer Cinna. Nmplol quickly clarified that he meant the amount was small compared to his current earnings, not in general terms.
The issue highlights the growing divide between top content creators and their audience when it comes to financial perspectives. Many viewers expressed shock at Nmplol’s statement, pointing out that $20,000 monthly is well above the average U.S. salary.
Nmplol, part of the streaming group OTK, later acknowledged that $20,000 is indeed significant for most people. However, the damage was done. Social media lit up with discussions about wealth, success, and the perceived disconnect of high-earning streamers from their viewers’ realities.
This isn’t the first time a streamer has been criticized for comments about money. As platforms like Twitch enable top creators to earn substantial incomes through subscriptions, donations, and sponsorships, the wealth gap between streamers and viewers continues to widen.
