Thanks for sharing, I never even knew such a niche existed... perhaps the next is watching other people watch tv

Top gamers are also making very good money. If you have kids, you won't be able to complain about their gaming any more, they can just say they're practicing for their future career.

I have seen it on youtube, and I did not understand it, but yes, you can make money on the youtube videos, as long as the game creators dont mind you using their visuals on the video. Some do ask that you ask permission first though.
