Ahead of his discussion, xQc spoke about a topic that he doesn’t typically mention. He talked about doing stuff for his community and mentioned that he would like to do more giveaways for his viewers in the future.
He told his audience: “I want to do more stuff to gift stuff to chat. And we could do more things like giveaways, small shows where people would be able to win money.”
Then he explained how the landscape of revenue generated from streams has changed significantly over time. He shared how he is currently making the most of his revenue on Twitch by accepting sponsorships rather than subscriptions and donations.
He told his viewers: “There used to be a time when all the revenue and the money that the stream made was people’s contributions such as subs, donos, bits. But these days, I’m keeping track, it’s not even close anymore. It’s… money comes, pretty much, primarily.. insane amounts from corporations.”

Then xQc cited how this might adversely affect smaller streamers who have much low follower numbers or are relatively new to streaming as not all streamers have multiple partnerships and sponsorships contributing to their revenue.
xQc used his huge following to tell his followers to watch and support smaller creators. He stated: “As much as I do appreciate that you guys are subscribing or whatever if you guys watch smaller streamers..uh..subscribe to these guys and give your prime to smaller streamers.”
xQc’s discussion on the subject quickly went viral on the LivestreamFails subreddit where fans lauded him for talking about it and using his platform to help out others.
