Key Takeaways

  • Myth revealed his YouTube contract was worth $4 million over 2 years.
  • Many streamers, like Ludwig, are moving from YouTube back to Twitch.
  • Despite the lucrative deal on YouTube, Myth returned to Twitch where he started.

As a longtime gaming enthusiast who has followed Myth’s streaming career since his days on Twitch, it’s fascinating to witness his journey unfold. His recent revelation about the $4 million contract he secured with YouTube Gaming only solidifies my admiration for him as a streamer and a savvy businessman.

Streamer Myth, whose real name is Ali Kabbani, disclosed the value of his unique streaming contract with YouTube. After a break of about three months, he has resumed streaming on Twitch following his announcement to wrap up his two-year association with YouTube.

In a surge of fame, Myth became well-known for his live-streamed Fortnite games on Twitch, which earned him the nickname “The Young Architect” due to his swift responses when constructing forts. Since then, he has switched to playing other first-person shooter games such as Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege, and even participated in unique streaming events like Ludwig’s chessboxing tournament. In 2022, Myth announced his transfer to YouTube Gaming, where he produced content until his exclusive contract expired in mid-2024.

On December 6, during his return livestream on Twitch, Myth chose to revisit his past by playing Fortnite once more, bringing joy to his long-standing fans. He further discussed his experiences with streaming on YouTube, revealing a contract valued at $4 million over two years without hesitation. A clip from the stream captured the enthusiastic reactions of viewers as they learned about Myth’s earnings. The streamer himself noted that this was an offer “you wouldn’t want to pass up in life.

How Much Did Myth Make Streaming on YouTube?

  • From 2022 to 2024, Myth said he made a total of $4 million on YouTube Gaming

Myth, similar to Ludwig and LilyPichu, has recently departed from their exclusive agreements with YouTube Gaming and re-joined Twitch. Although he was offered a substantial deal on YouTube, Myth appears thrilled about returning to the Twitch platform, as it’s where he first began and achieved significant growth in his career.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve noticed that Myth’s substantial YouTube Gaming contract aligns with what other streamers have shared about the platform offering lucrative deals. Pokimane even mentioned receiving “life-altering money” to commit exclusively to YouTube, but chose to remain on Twitch after an executive matched the offer. The impressive salary could be the reason behind many streamers temporarily moving to YouTube, only to decide against renewing their contracts due to numerous factors in the end.

Many popular streamers such as Pokimane now operate independently, providing them with increased flexibility to produce content across various social media and streaming sites. Similarly, contracts for streamers often include provisions enabling them to conduct multi-platform broadcasts, like xQc’s recent $100 million deal with Kick that still permits him to create content on Twitch and YouTube.
