The short answer is: probably not. In October 2021 there was the leak from Twitch (owned by Amazon), which showed payouts to the streamers. From the leaks we found out only a *very* small percent of the streamers are making large sums of money, or even a livable wage.
[…] 25 percent of the top 10,000 highest paid Twitch streamers don’t make minimum wage — and based on the fact that payout data covers a range of time spanning some point in 2019 to the last handful of months in 2021, 25 percent might actually underestimate the actual figure. For example, if you take what the 8,000th streamer on the list has made since 2019 — $29,396 — and divide it by two, you get $14,698, which is below the annual minimum wage of $15,080. Even that might be a charitable estimate: The numbers likely cover a bit more than two years’ worth of time.
