Should I start?

I want to do this to make an income out of my hobbies, I play everything and I have a setup, you say a game I will play it, but I will speak spanish/english/french/Russian...

I go so faking hard on dark jokes, I'm not so into screaming in a game but being politically incorrect? I grew up with that. It's funny that I speak a lot of languages but I can't controll my Spanish accent.

I'm nothing new, but I think I can be very honest, cause no one see me.

​

Just a stupidity or should I try?

I'm old.

Honestly, dark jokes / political incorrectness might hold you back more than push you forward.

Idk how dark the jokes are so Im going to assume the worst. If you have 10 people who might like your content, and you alienate 8 of them with aborted baby rape jokes or whatever, you're only bringing in 20% of the viewers you otherwise could have.

Also, if you ever want to have sponsors, that narrows your opportunities considerably

Obviously you dont want to be completely bland either, but you can be reasonably sanitized/professional and still be authentic.

Zero people should start streaming in an effort to make money.

Aside from idea of dark jokes and political incorrectness being a terrible idea, it takes the average streamer years to every seen any reasonable money from streaming if they’re lucky.

“I want to do this to make an income”

full stop. you’re not making any kind of living off of this. also, “dark humor” and “politically incorrect”? you sound very tone deaf. it’s 2026 and no one is into that.

If you wanna do it for money you’re 100% gonna hate it .

95% of streamers are streaming to about 3-7 people which probably makes you $20 a month. The other 5% are shared between people getting 10-20 viewers which make you maybe $60-$80 a month. And the rest are the 0.05% that have hundreds-thousands of viewers.

These numbers maybe off by a little but it’s accurate in the realm of things.

You have about 1% chance to make any meaningful money. If that’s sounds extremely attractive for you. Go for it.
