Amazon is buoying the ecosystem.
Amazon Prime used to include (and maybe still includes) Amazon Prime Gaming (https://gaming.amazon.com/intro). One of the perks:
> Use your free channel subscription ($4.99 value) every month to support your favorite streamers
There are over 100M prime subscribers, and let's suppose 3% of them use the benefit to support streamers. That's at least $15M/mo Amazon is throwing into the ecosystem. Given a pareto distribution of revenue, it's no surprise that 1000 streamers are clearing 10K/mo

#93I lament the fact that we need hacks like these to know who makes how much money. In countries like Norway, that kind of data is publicly available. It makes for less second-guessing and less suspiciousness. It always struck me as weird that the American Dream can best be lived in Scandinavia
Why do you need to know how much money a random streamer makes?

Is there any support for the claims on various reddit threads that the figures represent maybe half or less of actual earnings? Not sure if maybe it's only subs not tips, or only ad revenue not subs....

Out of curiosity, how difficult is it to migrate to Scandinavia as an American? I've long felt the ideals i cherish as an American are just not the ideals of America. Maybe America isn't wrong, i'm just not American. I want: A country which values it's citizens health and happiness in measurable, quantifiable ways. A country which ensures it's citizens can be educated and follow their passions to financial success. A…
If you can easily migrate to Scandinavia from America, then you are almost certainly a well educated, talented, wealthy American who will not be subject to any of the vagaries of life that poor Americans may need to deal with. Healthcare, education, housing, and lifestyle are all top notch for the set of Americans that can easily emigrate to other first-world countries.
In fact, you will find that it is much more common for people with high levels of education or marketable skills to migrate to the US, versus those people migrating from the US to whatever country.

By what logic does that imply that the States should raise taxes on the rich? The States are doing so much better than the rest of the world economically that we should follow the American example, not vice versa.
It implies that there's way, way too much wealth in the top 10% if the bottom 90% is only supplying 29% of the tax revenue. I don't think too many people, at least in other developed countries, are looking at the United States and thinking "wow, I wish my country was more like the United States." Usually such comparisons are made to the Scandinavian countries.
A statement like “too much wealth in population group x” can only come from someone with utopian ideas about how society “ought” to be structured, especially since population group x seems to be the source of this wealth.
What moral system informed these utopian ideas? Why does everyone have an obligation to subscribe to it?
If the rest of the world wants to hand arbitrary taxation power to some bureaucrats in pursuit of their moral ideal, let them have at it.

Imagine not trusting your family with knowing how much you earn.
Uncle celticninja: "But celticninja you make so much money and I'm on a fixed income, can't you just loan me some, remember when I got you that hot wheel when you were six?" I told my dad what I made, he messed up and told my mom, my mom told her brother and now this guy I haven't seen in a couple of decades is begging me for money. He showed up at my house once to beg and then got mad because he had spent the last o…
Tell the guy that your dad and mom are rich, and eventually become soft touches if someone is really persistent about asking them for money. :|

China is also doing so much better than the rest of the world economically, should we adopt their system?
I might have said yes if China did anywhere close to as well as the States or even Europe.

Given that one strategy for businesses is to optimize monetary intake by tailoring prices to how much specific customers can pay and often this tailoring is facilitated by stuff like checking if you are using an iphone or an android phone etc. etc. - if you use your name and address to login to a service and you are from Norway could they look up how much money you make and more precisely tailor their prices for what you are able to pay?
If so, boy, that letting people know exactly how much money you have thing is great.
