Twitch Leak Shows Women Streamers Earn Less, Sparks Debate

in Streamers
October 8, 2021
  • Huge twitch leak reveals top 100 streamers by earnings
  • The chart is dominated by males with only 3% of the top streamers being female
  • This sparks debates that pits readers against one another as to why this is

The recent massive Twitch leak revealed a lot of personal data for many streamers, with the top 100 being the ones that people focused on the most. From the available data, it's evident that only 3% of the top earners are women, which has sparked debates.

A Large Disparity between Male and Female Earners

It is no surprise that men rank as the highest earners on the platform. Data from the leak shows names like NICKMERCS, TimTheTatman and Asmongold in the top 20. However, some have pointed out that only three of the top 100 earners are female.

The list is headed by the professional role-playing collective CriticalRole, which is made up of several professional voice actors. The 99 other positions are dominated by men, except for three female streamers. These are: Pokimane who sits at No. 39 on the list, ASMR streamer Amouranth, who is at No. 48, and German musician Sintica, who is No. 71.

Excluding channels with multiple content creators, such as the previously mentioned CriticalRole, there are no women in the top third of top-earning Twitch streamers.

The overall number of female viewers compared to male ones isn't that low. According to Mediakix, Twitch viewers are 65 percent male and 35 percent female, with the male percentage shrinking over time.

The Numbers Spark Debates

Twitch viewers have for some time been debating about the so-called “hot tub meta”, saying it steals views from male streamers. There is, however, a huge disparity in the genders represented in the top streamers, with Kotaku arguing, that the perception that female creators are “stealing views from men” is false, an opinion many others seem to share.

Twitch leak kinda put the whole "booby streamers take all the money" theory to rest eh

There is, however, a catch to the numbers shown. These figures are only for the money streamers earn through monthly subscriptions. They do not include money gathered from viewer donations, sponsorships, ads and Twitch revenue.

Youtuber and streamer Cr1TiKaL, who also showed up on the list, recently made a video, addressing the leak. In it he explained that the numbers shown are not anything secret, as they only show income from subscribers. He elaborated by saying anyone can see the numbers of subscribers a streamer has, and from that make a rough calculation of how much they make. He also said that if we factor in donations, money from ads and sponsorships, then the numbers and names on the list will be completely different.

Whether or not there should be more or less of one or the other gender in the top Twitch earners is up to you to decide, but there is something to be said about the fact that these numbers represent only a part of streamers’ earnings and the numbers and names would look quite different if one adds up other factors.
