The streamer Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler (28) is not only active on Twitch nearly every day, he also enjoys organizing large events on platforms like YouTube and Joyn. In a stream, he defended himself against accusations of only being after money and explained how much he really earns with events like “The Big Kick”.
What kind of event was that? On December 29, “The Big Kick” took place, a football tournament with 6 teams consisting of German influencers:
- The whole thing was organized by Trymacs
- The event was broadcast on Joyn, a platform of the broadcasters ProSieben and Sat.1.
Although the event fell somewhat short of expectations compared to previous projects of the streamer, it attracted thousands of viewers to the Cologne Lanxess Arena and in front of screens.
Given the number of viewers, it seems reasonable for some fans to believe that Trymacs earns a fortune with these events. However, in a stream he explained what this fun costs him.
More lucrative for Trymacs than the events are likely the subs, which are paid subscriptions on Twitch.
Viewers tease: “So, do you need money again?”
What kind of stream was that? In a stream, Trymacs talked about comments he receives from viewers. These often concern money:
No matter what you do, people say: “Oh, he needs money again.”
These comments refer to Trymacs streaming on the video app TikTok on the side or starting the next bigger project. However, according to the streamer, there is a big misunderstanding.
Trymacs says he earns little to nothing with events
How much does Trymacs earn now? The survival show “Nerd in the Dirt”, which started in December 2022 and achieves between 400,000 and 1.2 million views per episode on YouTube, brings him “nothing or nearly nothing”, Trymacs explains.
He is now “even”, meaning he could cover his costs with the revenue, but he did not expect that: He actually entered the project with the mindset of losing 30,000 to 40,000 €.
It is similar with other events like his game show Teammates. He has not earned from any of these events, says the streamer.
Even worse is the balance for his football event “The Big Kick”: In the end, Trymacs was probably even in the red:
For the football broadcasts, I paid a lot, six-digit amounts.
How can that be? Trymacs explains that such events generate a lot of revenue but also incur high costs. The Big Kick cost around 800,000 €, and then all the agencies involved also need their share.
Trymacs clarifies: If he does earn something with his events, it is still much less than he earns with his regular content. He disclosed how much that is at the end of the year in December 2022. However, some viewers expected more:
Trymacs shows his Twitch income, gets dissed by fans – “That’s a lot, you get 7 € pocket money”
