This sparked a frenzy of conversations on social media about the income of top streamers versus the typical earnings of everyday working-class individuals.
Fans were left in disbelief when it became apparent that Mizkif had amassed more than $13,000 in just one week from his Twitch endeavors.

Following the viral incident, Mizkif addressed the situation in a YouTube video the following day. In the video, he revealed that his actual earnings exceeded the leaked amount.
According to Mizkif, the $13,000 figure represented a week during which he didn't stream as consistently as usual. In a typical week, his earnings ranged between $20,000 and $25,000, translating to monthly earnings of approximately $80,000 to $100,000.
Mizkif clarified that this substantial income wasn't primarily derived from subscribers but mainly from ad revenue and Twitch Turbo viewership. He further emphasized that most content creators, including himself, earned the majority of their income through sponsorship deals.
Mizkif urged his viewers not to donate or subscribe to larger creators like himself, instead encouraging them to support smaller streamers and consider getting Twitch Turbo if they were regular Twitch users.
He conveyed, "You don't need to subscribe to me. I am totally okay. While I appreciate your support, I don't need the money. You don't need to donate."
Certain content creators are accumulating substantial wealth through their online platforms, as exemplified by individuals like Corinna Kopf, who asserted that she earns up to $2 million per month exclusively from her OnlyFans activities.
