You know what I do? I idle in their stream and mute the tab. Every person present counts. Your presence is enough. You don't owe anyone anything.

Same here. There is someone who I enjoy watching who has gone from primarily streaming a game I love, to doing variety and only rarely streaming that game. And most of the stuff she's streaming now I have zero interest in. I always come to her streams and just lurk so she has me as a number, but I simply can't make myself care enough to actively watch and comment.

Look, OP, as someone who occasionally streams... Would it be nice to make it a steady source of income? Of course. Is it realistic to expect it? Hell no.

The truth is that hundreds of thousands of people worldwide livestream, but only a minuscule percentage of them gets the luck of making a living out of it. While I can appreciate this streamer of yours' wish to make a living out of it, they also need to be ready to accept that it might not pan out.

On your part, you are not obligated to provide any monetary support; nor should you feel guilty for your inability/unwillingness to do so.

We're are all trying to get by. If you cannot afford to throw money at a streamer, then you cannot afford it, and that's the end of it.

I have several streamers I love watching, but I can normally only watch the VODs on Youtube later. Stream time doesn't line up with my availability.

And you know what? All of those streamers have one thing in common. "Hey Youtube! Thanks for tuning in, appreciate you being here, if you have a chance it'd be fun to have you over on Twitch, but until then, enjoy the VOD." And then during the stream itself there is never an (active) push for donations/bits/subs. They are acknowledged and appreciated when they come in. Sometimes there's a specific sub drive (one guy I watch usually does one game a week where chat's donations lead to some kind of difficulty challenge activating in the game or adding a new twist, or sometimes just "hey you have to get up and do 50 jumping jacks now") just to incentivize. But that's not everyone. Not all streamers are gluttons for punishment for their chat's amusement. But sometimes.... sometimes that's the key to having an involved audience who wants to keep coming back and actually give you money.

Being on screen and constantly asking for people to sub is not that.

No, they're already getting money. They're just being greedy because they think you're influenceable enough to get a quick dime from. Don't fall for it.
