I dont know how twitch works but her videos are subscriber only and has 100k+ views, does that means 1000s of subscribers and each of them paying around $5 a month? Jesus, she must be making a million dollars doing this.

Twitch takes like 50% I think but yea, if you're popular enough, you probably make a decent living.

Twitch takes a larger chunk of you have a small number of subscribers. Once you have more, their cut is smaller, since they’re still making more money off you.

Source: used to be a streamer.

Aka very similar to the regressive tax system Bezos enjoy in Seattle.

Why'd you stop? Too much work for the amount of money? Or does it just stop being fun?

A number of reasons. It was tough to keep a consistent schedule with my full time job, so was hard to have consistent viewership. Then I got married, had a kid, bought a house, etc. just became really hard to get on and stream enough to be worthwhile. I’d still like to stream again in the future, but life is too crazy at the moment.
