The revelation made by Tyler “Trainwreckstv” about his earnings during his prime streaming days has left viewers in shock, with many expressing disbelief at the staggering figures mentioned. In a clip from Adin Ross’s recent Kick stream, Trainwreckstv claimed that he was making a whopping $25 million per month at the peak of his streaming career.
Trainwreckstv gained prominence as a prolific gambling streamer on Twitch, where he would spend hours streaming various casino games such as slots and roulette. His marathon streaming sessions evidently paid off, as he casually mentioned to Adin Ross that he was raking in tens of millions of dollars monthly during that period.
The clip quickly went viral on social media platforms, prompting astonishment and incredulity from viewers. One user on X expressed their shock, labeling the numbers as “insane.”
Tyler’s claims shed light on the intense and controversial world of gambling content creation on Twitch. Alongside other prominent streamers like xQc, Trainwreckstv faced criticism for promoting gambling to their audiences, particularly younger viewers. This scrutiny intensified in 2022 when several streamers, including Pokimane and Mizkif, called for stricter regulations on casino games on the platform.
In response to Twitch’s restrictions on gambling-related content, Trainwreckstv distanced himself from the platform and eventually became involved with Kick, a streaming platform founded by the creators of Stake, one of his former sponsors. Since then, he has continued his streaming endeavors on Kick.
The revelation of Trainwreckstv’s earnings also surprised his fellow streamer, Adin Ross, who sought clarification on the astronomical figure. Trainwreckstv explained that during his peak streaming days, he would stream for an astounding 350 hours a month while consuming large doses of Adderall, a prescription stimulant. This rigorous schedule reportedly enabled him to earn between $15-30 million monthly.
The discussion between Trainwreckstv and Adin Ross further delved into the extreme work conditions and lifestyle choices prevalent in the streaming industry. Despite the grueling schedule, Trainwreckstv admitted to getting around six hours of sleep per day.
The clip sparked widespread reactions from viewers, with many expressing disbelief and fascination at the exorbitant earnings and extreme work habits described by Trainwreckstv. The revelation serves as a reminder of the immense financial opportunities and intense pressures associated with content creation in the digital age.
