Twitch has recently started giving out incentives to streamers for running ads on their streams. The more ads a streamer runs, the more they will earn from the Ad Incentives program. However, the exact amount of revenue from each ad is yet unknown.

According to the analyst, however, the earnings averages out at 50 cents per active user. Multiplying this small amount with the whopping 90,000 average viewers Tarik brings, it totals out to $50,000 per month. Furthermore, the yearly earnings from the ads alone bring $600,000 a year. Combining the yearly amounts from subs and ads, Tarik earns about $1.35 million per year.
