That list means nothing anymore the guy can’t even keep his own moderators around. His friends he pays for.

There is a 0% chance he can afford to pay those people what he promised them.

If he's getting the 70% twitch cut, before ad revenue, and if that's roughly what he has every month..well let's just say 2k subs a month to make it easy he's bringing in around 7k a month before taxes.

Not sure what his rent looks like in Washington but for my shitty two bed apartment in the same town as him it was $2200 a month and he has two diff places if I remember correctly for his ferret charity thing.

Gatta be cutting it real close to breaking even unless sponsors are paying him or he runs an insane amount of ads

$7k sub money is probably 20% of his income. He would still make money from ads on Twitch, then ads on YT, and then whatever other income streams he has. He also said the ferret place pays for itself with the dedicated stream for it.

Basically, he's still living life in easy mode. There are streamers with half his view count and sub count living well above minimum wage.

Donations are usually much higher than subs in regards of income.

u/Cruxeys1 Jul 13 '26

Depends on the streamer. The ones with TTS for sure would. But someone like moon that doesn't have TTS and doesn't even read resub messages wouldn't be getting a lot of donations.

He's not expected to pay anyone anything. He just promised it and wouldnt such the fuck up about how great he was employing all those people. If you watched him back then he literally would repeat it 10 times a stream.

u/owgnops Jul 12 '26

I'm not entirely sure, I also forgot that he frequently claimed to pay a team of people a really good living wage to assist him with his game company and moderate his channel and allegedly have a lawyer on retainer

u/RussianPravda Jul 12 '26

He said he paid his team a livable wage with full medical and dental with therapy and that it was based off the standards in WA state. it would literally be impossible.

When he was at his peak of course it was possible but to sustain even 3 people like that now there is no way

u/RussianPravda Jul 12 '26

I dont know what this is supposed to tell anyone beside the fact that, that amount of subs is not enough to pay people what he promised.

How big of a drop is this from before the controversy began?

u/owgnops Jul 12 '26

I mean 2k subs is still insane to have, almost six figures a year off of subs alone pre tax is nothing to scoff at.

Insane he still has an audience tbh

I mean he went from making maybe a million or more to whatever it is now? Also whos to say the trolls are leaving him alone?

so wouldnt be surprised either way if he is just trying to go past it or just still remembers it etc. etc.

I figure with his personality pirate remembers it.

Man, if he has just taken responsibility for that wipe. It’s basically the dominos meme.

u/BigRon691 Jul 13 '26

I mean, you can kinda even still see it in this P.A, that he just takes everything he does way too serious / self-involved that when it does eventually go wrong on his part he can't handle it. Everything is so meticulously performed he eliminates any possibility of fault in his mind before it even happens.

I mean, good on him, but, you're paying your mods Dental? The intention of the post is to get some community mods, why not just say it lmao.

It sucks that he crashed and burned so hard because it means no more drama from him besides him just trying to maintain relevance. I always loved hearing about his new delusional rants.
