I was talking about the average on average. IRL twitch streams, Jinny 6k viewers, CookSux 2-3k viewers, jaystreazy 2k viewers, robcdee 4k viewers. Bonnierabbit does one stream every now and then 10k. Amouranth literally does nothing, streams from home and lately "dating" streams, 7k low 16k usually. Japandyjones now that he's in Tokyo 1.5k viewers. Jakenbake in Tokyo 6k.

If you're a woman in a mostly younger male audience platform you get the viewers. All you need is an attractive body and a nice dress.

Ibabyrainbow 21 year old wearing braces showing off her body 1.5k viewers.

I'm not into ASMR but holy crap licking microphones for "the ASMR" where the girls are dressed in tight dresses with perfect make up, where you can guess that the microphone is really a penis replacement. 100% female domain. How many want to see a guy licking a microphone? 5% most likely with the odd spike for curiosity.

I'm saying on average the females have it easier to attract viewers, that is also the traditional female field. You don't have to provide content, your body is content. Idk if you have noticed that women mostly like to film themselves on stream because they know that the males watch them for their looks. Male cameras are mostly turned away from them filming their surroundings.

As a male streamer you need special equipment, at least so they think, so you can stream in 1920×1080 with redundant modem and sim card setup, while female streamers don't bother with the weight and just use a 720p smartphone.

There are of course always exceptions and I don't claim to be an expert. I've only been watching this field since this summer and those are my observations
