My wife was watching that stream and just in shock. He made something like ~~7 million dollars~~ *$18,000 *from superchats on his first(?) YouTube stream. He started it bashing the platform and by the end he was talking about his plan for what he'll be posting/streaming to YouTube in the long term. The temp ban definitely backfired by pushing him to a platform where he immediately got 10x the viewers he'd normally expect

Edit: I had remembered a completely incorrect number for his superchat income

Is there a public source for where you got that super chats number?

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Its just a number he mentioned during his stream. I don't have a timestamp but the VOD is here

Apparently it's $18,000 not $7,000,000, and Hasan donated it all to the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA).

Well shit I wonder where that number came from. Either way that's a pretty dang good payout for the first stream on YouTube in 8 years
