Twich hacked: ZeratoR confirms the veracity of income, wages that make you dream

This is undoubtedly one of the hot topics of recent hours, namely the massive hacking of the Twitch platform, which has also confirmed the “breach” to use its terms and to have been the victim of a group malicious hackers. If we imagine that legal proceedings will be launched against them, the damage has already been done since the source code, previously secret projects and especially the income of its main creators have been revealed. No less than 125 GB of data found its way into the wild and shared “anonymously” on the 4Chan forum. To believe the site The Verge, this is the first draft of a leak that promises to be even more important, since the leak was mentioned “1st part”, suggesting that we could have other equally confidential information soon.

Of course, in a world where money is a taboo subject, it is the Excel file that lists all the income of Twitchers that has made the most ink, to the point of pushing some streamers like ZeratoR to take the floor via a long thread on Twitter by justifying his income, but also by denouncing some of his fellow streamers who have gone into tax exile in Malta, unlike him who pays his taxes in France. The latter also explains that all the figures that have leaked are true, and that it is an opportunity to play cards on the table with his viewers. If ZeratoR is indeed the first French streamer with 1.4 million dollars in turnover achieved between August 2019 and October 2021, it only appears in 44th position, far behind other content creators with still income. more imposing.

It is the production company CriticalRole, specializing in role-playing games, which sits at the top of Twitch’s largest revenues with more than $ 9.6 million generated in just over 2 years. Just behind, we find the Canadian xQcOW, a streamer who saw his popularity explode during confinement, and who ends up with nearly 8.5 million dollars over the same period. Shroud meanwhile is only positioned 25th place with $ 2 million, still over the same period from August 2019 to October 2021, which proves that he has lost a lot in recent years. No doubt following his exodus from Mixer for which he had signed an exclusive partnership with Microsoft. Ninja also fell heavily as he is in 46th position with just over $ 1.3 million.

Figures that can actually make you dizzy, but as ZeratoR rightly reminds us, it is not the perceived profit, but indeed the turnover, from which taxes and all costs must be removed. of production. It remains very comfortable whatever happens.
