Gaming streamer Myth (real name Ali Kabbani) revealed how much his exclusive YouTube contract was worth. He recently returned to Twitch over three months after announcing the end of his two-year stint on YouTube.
Myth rose to popularity for his Fortnite streams on Twitch, which earned him the moniker “The Young Architect” because of his fast reflexes while building forts. He has since moved on to playing other FPS titles, like Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege, and even participated in special streaming events, such as Ludwig’s chessboxing tournament. Back in 2022, Myth announced that he was moving to YouTube Gaming, where he created content until his exclusive contract ended in mid-2024.

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 is one of many streamers, such as Ludwig and LilyPichu, who recently ended their exclusive YouTube Gaming contracts and returned to Twitch. Despite receiving a lucrative deal on YouTube, Myth expressed his excitement about being back on Twitch, which is the platform where he started and grew most of his career.
The hefty sum of Myth’s YouTube Gaming contract seems to corroborate other streamers’ stories about the platform offering a great deal to them. Pokimane talked about being offered “life-changing money” to sign exclusively with YouTube, but decided to stay with Twitch when an executive managed to match the offer. The salary could explain why many streamers switched to YouTube for some time, but eventually decided not to renew their contracts due to various reasons.
Many streamers, like Pokimane, are free agents now, which means that they have more freedom to create content on different social media and streaming platforms. Likewise, streamers are also given contracts that allow them to do multi-platform streams, like xQc signing a massive $100 million Kick contract that still lets him do content on Twitch and YouTube.
