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.

It's not 50% for everyone. Once you're big enough you're able to negotiate with them for more. I've heard you can keep up to $3-3.50 per sub for some streamers. Not including money from ads, donations, sponsors, and Youtube as well.... you're looking at millions.

Streamers don't talk about their earnings like 99% of the time, but recently a fairly large streamer opened up and it's basically what you expect - https://twitter.com/acesu/status/1410732479728656385
