Twitch streamers are now entering into a different dimension of online streaming called 'sleep streaming.' Famous Twitch users like Matthew 'Mizkif' Rinaudo and Kaitlyn 'Amouranth' Siragusa do this trick that lets them go to sleep and let viewers pay money for it. You've read it right! The dreams of most people to earn money while sleeping has now come true, thanks to Twitch!
You can LITERALLY earn money while sleeping if you're a Twitch Streamer! Here's how
Compared back then, Twitch streamers only post videos of their gaming. People will view their live streams and get paid once you have the people entertained by your videos. Now, they have found a way to earn money without literally doing anything other than sleeping on their bed.
As first reported via Wired, known Twitch gamers are now posting live streams of their bedroom wherein they will sleep for normal hours and wake up with an additional $5,000 or more on their accounts. How do they do it?
Twitch streamer Matthew "Mizkif" Rinaudo shared his experience of having paid an exactly $5,600 after sleeping for one night while his camera live-streamed his sleeping. Rinaudo showed how he does it. He enabled a feature that "lets his viewers submit videos if they made a cash donation and went to bed."
His streaming videos were just normal footage of him sleeping and viewers, surprisingly, sent him videos and transfer cash donations to his account. After a couple of hours, he's already richer for thousands of dollars.
"She thinks I do nothing now," Rinaudo joked to his live viewers about his mother complaining he's doing nothing but sleeping. "Wait until she finds out I literally slept and made money."
Twitch streamers do 'slumber parties' and get paid for sleeping!
Another Twitch streamer and model Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa also does 'sleep streaming' for her 1.4 million viewers on Twitch. Interestingly, in order to have more viewers and subscribers, Siragusa let her viewers determine whether she will sleep longer or not.
Every new 20 subscribers that will be added to her account will push back her alarm for an hour-- letting her sleep for a longer time.
"In chat, there was an outpouring of "have a good night," "sleep well," and "g' night." Siragusa encouraged her fans to donate and subscribe; every 20 subscriptions pushed her alarm back another hour. She then hit Play on some ambient rain noises and went to bed," written by Wired.
On the comments section, one viewer asked whether viewers were actually just watching her sleep. Another viewer answered back, saying 'I wanna watch her sleep every night. I'm in love with her.'
Why would people pay Twitch streamers to sleep?
Twitch has 15 million daily active users as of now, and the streaming app allows gamers to showcase their skills in gaming. However, people tend to let their favourite Twitch streamers go to sleep as most of them were doing game live streaming for almost a day.
"Most streams can be very draining," says Rinaudo. "This stream was the opposite. It was very easy. It was honestly a nice break from my normal routine of playing games all day."
