  • Enough to support him and his fiance. Nobody has any idea what his personal life or personal financial situation is. For all we know he could be working at Burger King to make ends meet

  • If that were the case you'd think he'd get off his ass and make something of himself rather than mooch off of everyone else.

  • That's fair. My inferences are mainly based on average tip occurrence, average follower-subscriber ratio, etc. I just find it a bit hard to believe he'd be working another job considering the hours he streams.

  • Jesus God who tips these asshats?? Same people that rain free money stupidly on Kickstarter? I have money and I wouldn't give streamers a dime but that's me. Get a real job and make the world a better place like me.

  • People tip them $500 or more sometimes. I have just recently started checking some of these people out to see what all the fuss was and in the corner it says who is tipping what. I have seen a bunch between $200 and $600! Ridiculous if you ask me.

  • Good god. If my job wasn't what it is I would totally be a streamer.

  • No doubt he probably could support himself, but his costs go way up if he is also supporting a younger wife (babies) who does not have a job. If streaming is the only job between them, he would have to make a pretty good amount considering he has to pay for things like health care out of his own pocket (just one example). It also depends on the type of lifestyle they live as well as where they live. Some families can get by on $20k a year, some can't get by with $100k. Just too many variables IMO

    Like I said, I can't be sure. And not wife, just fiancé, who has been getting her masters degree, so I assume no work, but it's possible she may have a part time job. No kids, just him, his fiancé, and brother, presumably in an apartment complex. So he's not paying all bills solo, however they are buying/building a house. But you're right. Too many variables to be certain. All I was really attempting to say is that it makes more than many people believe it to.

  • You claimed you didn't know Broman, but you seem like you know a lot about his life. lol Now I see why you defend him, you ARE one of his fans.

  • I know things about Broman, yeah. But I don't know him personally. Nobody who watches his stream really does.

  • You tried to act like you are not one of his fanboys, but yet you slipped up and revealed that you are one. So it makes sense why you would defend ANYTHING this guy says or does.

    I suppose I'm a fan, yeah, I've made no effort to disguise that. Not a fanboy, as it doesn't take copious amounts of viewing to get a sense of who he is, or the information I've relayed on this post. But no, I wouldn't defend [b]anything[/b] he were to do or say. There are dozens of lines he could cross about which to me he would be condemned. However, a few passing jokes and the banning of one ever increasingly insufferable jackass do not fall under those lines.
